Caring for a Philodendron Pink Princess Marble involves providing the right conditions to maintain its vibrant colors and overall health. Here are some essential care tips for this beautiful plant:

Light Requirements;

• Ideal Light: Provide bright, indirect light to help the plant maintain its pink variegation. If the plant gets too little light, the pink coloration may fade, and the plant might turn all green.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: While it needs bright light, avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.

Watering:

• Watering Schedule: Water when the top 1-2 inches of the soil are dry to the touch. Be careful not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot.
• Frequency: Watering might be once a week or every 10 days, depending on the environmental conditions.
• Watering Tips: It's better to underwater slightly than overwater, as the plant is more tolerant of dry conditions than soggy soil.

Humidity:

• Prefer High Humidity: The Pink Princess thrives in high humidity, ideally around 60-80%. If you live in a dry climate, consider using a humidifier or placing the plant on a humidity tray.
• Misting: Occasionally misting the leaves can help, but avoid excessive misting, as it may lead to mold growth.

Temperature:

• Ideal Temperature: Keep the plant in a warm environment, ideally between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C).
• Avoid Cold Drafts: It doesn't tolerate cold drafts or temperatures below 50°F (10°C), so keep it away from windows or air conditioners in the winter.

Soil;

• Well-Draining Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix that holds moisture but drains excess water well. A mix for aroids or houseplants is a good choice. You can even add perlite or orchid bark to improve drainage.
• Repotting: Repot your Pink Princess every 1-2 years to refresh the soil and give the roots more space to grow. Make sure the new pot has drainage holes.
