Philodendron White Princess

Plant size : 25-32cm tall and well spread

Pot size : 12cm dia

The Philodendron White Princess is a beautiful and relatively easy-to-care-for houseplant known for its stunning variegated foliage. It's a hybrid philodendron with self-heading, upright growth rather than being a climbing vine like many other philodendrons.

Here's how to care for your Philodendron White Princess:

Light:

• Provide bright, indirect light. This will help maintain the variegation in the leaves. Too little light will cause the leaves to lose their variegation and turn green. Avoid direct sunlight, as this can scorch the leaves.

Watering:

• Water your Philodendron White Princess when the top inch of soil dries out. Overwatering can lead to root rot.

Soil:

• Use a well-draining potting mix. Aroid mix or a mix of potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark is a good option.

Fertilizer:

• Feed the plant monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced fertilizer diluted to half strength.

Temperature:

• Prefers warm temperatures, ideally between 60-80°F (15-27°C). Avoid cold drafts.

Humidity:

• Prefers moderate to high humidity levels, around 50-60%. You can increase humidity around your plant by:Misting it regularly with lukewarm water.
  Using a pebble tray filled with water.
  Grouping plants together.
  Using a humidifier.
  

Toxicity:

• Like many philodendrons, Philodendron White Princess is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. Keep out of reach of children and pets.

Variegation:

• It's important to note that Philodendron White Princess can develop all white or all green leaves over time.Solid white leaves don't contain enough chlorophyll for the plant to survive long-term if too many appear.
  Solid green leaves mean the plant is reverting back to its parent plants.
  
• To maintain good variegation, prune the plant back to the last leaf with nice variegation if solid white or green leaves form. Be sure to cut under a node (small bumps that form along the stem) or just under the leaf.
