Philodendron Pink Princess is a rare and highly sought-after tropical plant that is native to South America. It is known for its striking pink and green foliage, which is marbled and variegated. Here are some care tips for this plant:

1. Light: Philodendron Pink Princess prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some lower light conditions, but its growth and color will be less vibrant.

2. Water: Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Water thoroughly, and allow any excess water to drain out of the bottom of the pot. Avoid overwatering, as this can cause root rot.

3. Humidity: Philodendron Pink Princess likes moderate to high humidity levels. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves with water, using a humidifier, or placing a tray of water near the plant.

5. Soil: Philodendron Pink Princess prefers a well-draining potting mix that is rich in organic matter. You can use a mixture of peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite.

6. Fertilizer: Fertilize the plant once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer.

7. Pruning: Prune the plant to maintain its shape and remove any yellowing or damaged leaves.

8. Support: Philodendron Pink Princess is a climbing plant and benefits from a support structure, such as a trellis or moss pole.

9. Propagation: Philodendron Pink Princess can be propagated by stem cuttings. Take a stem cutting with a few leaves and aerial roots, and plant it in a pot with moist potting mix. Cover the pot with a plastic bag to create a mini greenhouse, and place it in bright, indirect light.

10. Pests and Diseases: Philodendron Pink Princess is relatively pest-free, but watch out for spider mites and mealybugs. Overwatering can cause root rot.
