Philodendron White Princess

Description

🌿 Philodendron White Princess – Rare Variegated Beauty

The Philodendron White Princess is a highly sought-after philodendron hybrid admired for its glossy green leaves marbled with bold white variegation. Unlike common philodendrons, its creamy-white streaks and splashes give it a unique, royal appearance that makes it a centerpiece in any collection. A climbing variety, it thrives with support from a moss pole or trellis, making it ideal for homes, offices, and indoor gardens.

✨ Key Highlights

• 🤍 Rare variegated foliage with striking white streaks.
• 🌱 Upright climbing growth habit – great with a moss pole.
• 🕊 Air-purifying qualities for cleaner indoor air.
• 🏡 A premium plant for modern interiors and plant collectors.

🌞 Light Requirements

Performs best in bright, indirect light. Ample light helps maintain its variegation, while low light may reduce the intensity of white patches. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.

💧 Watering

Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. Keep soil slightly moist but never soggy. Overwatering may cause root rot, while underwatering can lead to dry, crispy edges.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

Prefers warm indoor conditions (18–30°C) with moderate to high humidity. Occasional misting or use of a pebble tray helps maintain humidity and enhances leaf vibrancy.

🌱 Soil & Fertilizer

Plant in a well-draining aroid mix containing cocopeat, orchid bark, compost, and perlite. Feed every 4–6 weeks during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer to encourage lush foliage and variegation.

✂️ Care & Maintenance

Train the plant on a moss pole for upright growth. Prune leggy stems to maintain shape and encourage bushiness. Wipe leaves occasionally to keep them shiny and dust-free.

⚠️ Pet Safety

❌ Not safe for pets – toxic to cats and dogs if ingested.
