This philodendron is a royal beauty, whose delicate pink variegation has given it the nickname "Pink Princess". Due to its rarity and distinctive leaf color, it is in high demand. In order to preserve the variegation or to make the pink shine even more, the philodendron should ideally be placed in a location that is bright but does not receive direct sunlight.

• Watering: Keep the substrate moist and water when the upper substrate layer begins to dry with lukewarm water that is low in lime, but avoid waterlogging. Water less in winter.
