Philodendron White Princess (Philodendron erubescens 'White Princess') is a dazzling, compact tropical houseplant renowned for its unique, heart-shaped foliage dappled with striking white and green variegation. This self-heading Philodendron boasts variegated leaves that combine deep green with bright white splashes and marbling, creating an elegant and sophisticated appearance that brightens any indoor space. It typically grows upright to about 3 to 4 feet tall and 2 feet wide, making it a perfect choice for desks, shelves, or corners where space is limited but style is desired.

Growing Philodendron White Princess

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to preserve vibrant variegation; avoid direct sunlight which may scorch leaves. It can tolerate moderate shade but variegation may fade in low light.

Soil: Requires a well-draining, aerated potting mix rich in organic matter, such as a mix of peat, perlite, and orchid bark.

Water: Water thoroughly when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry; avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.

Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity (60-80%). Regular misting or humidifiers are beneficial, especially in dry environments.

Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 65°F and 85°F (18°C–29°C), protecting it from drafts and temperatures below 60°F (15°C).

Fertilizer: Feed monthly during the active growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.

Maintenance: Prune to control shape and remove damaged or leggy growth. It is a slow to moderate grower that appreciates occasional grooming to maintain its compact form.

Toxicity: Contains calcium oxalate crystals, toxic to pets and humans if ingested; keep out of reach.
