🌿 Basic Overview

• Scientific name: Philodendron ‘Pink Princess Galaxy’

🌱 Appearance

• Heart-shaped leaves with dark green, bright pink, and creamy white variegation, often appearing in a marbled or “galaxy” pattern.

• Each leaf has unique and highly decorative patterns, making the plant visually striking.

• Grows upright initially but will trail or climb when given a support like a moss pole.

☀️ Light

• Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain the pink and white variegation.

• Too little light may cause variegation to fade and slow growth.
