that’s green from leaf to stem. On the Pink Princess, scattered among its glossy, heart-shaped, dark green to black leaves, are splashes of bright pink.
This pink color is what’s made the Pink Princess such an in-demand plant over recent years. The pigmentation is known as variegation, and it refers to when areas of the leaf lack chlorophyll. It’s rare to find a plant in nature with black leaves, and that’s what makes Pink Princess so unique: It’s a black or nearly black Philodendron with hot pink variegation.
The Pink Princess Philodendron is an evergreen vining plant from the Araceae family (the aroids) that can grow up to 4 feet tall but usually stays around 2 feet when kept as a potted plant. It has burgundy stems and petioles and aerial roots that emerge from nodes. New leaves unfurl with burgundy coloration (gradually becoming variegated) or with pink and white variegation in place.
The variegated pink leaves have made this plant a popular specimen for many new gardeners, which has led to an increase in price and a sudden scarcity. If you’re lucky enough to get your hands on one, this guide will tell you everything you need to know to care for Philodendron ‘Pink Princess’ and keep the plant healthy, happy, and yes—pink!
