Philodendron 'White Princess'

About Philodendron 'White Princess'

The Philodendron 'White Princess' is a highly sought-after variegated aroid prized for its bold white and green patterned leaves — each one uniquely marked, making every plant a one-of-a-kind. A slower grower than many philodendrons, it rewards patience with increasingly dramatic variegation as it matures. A crown jewel for any serious indoor plant collection.

Care at a Glance

• Light: Bright indirect light essential — low light causes variegation to fade
• Water: Allow the top 2–3 inches of soil to partially dry between waterings
• Humidity: 60–80% preferred; a humidifier makes a noticeable difference
• Temperature: 65–75°F; avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature swings
• Soil: Well-draining chunky mix with orchid bark and perlite
• Fertilizer: Balanced liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer
• Support: Moss pole or stake as it grows upright

Good to Know
