Are you a plant person who likes colorful plants? Do you like decorating your home with live plants? Then Philodendron Pink Princess or PPP Plant is a must-have plant for you. Read below to understand more about this houseplant which has won hearts all over the world. PPP Plant is a beginner-friendly plant, so you can get this plant even if you are not experienced with houseplants.


Origin, History & Morphology of Pink Princess Philodendron


Pink Princess Philodendron, a plant in the Araceae family, is commonly known as Philodendron erubescens 'Pink Princess' in its botanical name.

Philodendron erubescens is a climbing vine that was first discovered in 1854. K. Koch & A. Augustin, the first to publish in 1854, are credited with laying the groundwork for modern botany. Philodendron erubescens has glossy, dark green leaves on top that often turn a coppery color on the underside. The leaf blades range in length from 20 to 40 cm (9 to 18 inches). A layer that looks like a sheath is called a cataphyll. It lets new leaves grow.

Each leaf has a support structure called a petiole, which is commonly mistakenly referred to as a "stem" & is typically the same length as the leaf blades. The stem of Philodendron erubescens is not the support for a single leaf blade, but rather the central axis of the plant's cataphyll. Natural variation & morphogenesis (ontogeny) both contribute to the wide range of morphologies (structural design) found among Philodendron species. However, leaf forms & colors can vary within the species.

All Philodendrons are aroids, which reproduce via an inflorescence, known as a spathe appearing to be a hood & spadix. The spathe is nothing more than a specially modified leaf whose purpose is to protect the spadix. During the period the plant is reproducing, very tiny flowers (both male & female) are found on the spadix at the center of the inflorescence.

Pink Princess Plant Flowering: The spathes of the flowers produced by this gem pale in comparison to the splendor of its leaves. If all of its other conditions are met, it will bloom in the spring & summer.

Fact - Pink Princess Philodendrons can turn dark green or burgundy—when & why?


PPP Plants can change color to a dark green or red color when they don't get enough light. As a result, the plant's chlorophyll production rises & it develops new, more photosynthesis-efficient (green color) leaves. Mostly, chlorophyll, the green pigment in plants, is absent from the pink leafy parts of this plant.

But what is the process of the PPP plant’s color change? The process is called “reversion”.

Reversion can occur in one of two ways: The pink variegated leaves can change to burgundy, indicating the presence of chlorophyll pigments, or the plant can develop more green, non-variegated leaves.

Solution to stop reversion in Pink Princess plant: To prevent reversion, remove any excess green or red leaves & provide the plant with a sufficient amount of indirect light. However, stem or leaf cuttings from an entirely reverted plant could be used to create new plants with variegation.


Best Spot for Planting a PPP Plant


Planting a vining plant like a PPP Plant near a south or west-facing window is ideal. For even more significant growth, put it near a north or east facing window. This plant is hardy & well-suited to interior environments with little light.


Decorating Style of PPP


Place PPP plants in various locations to enrich your living space. For example:
  • Small plants can go on desks, shelves, or closets.
  • Medium-sized plants can go on windowsills or in corners on stools.
  • Large plants can go on the floor. Add pink-green color to your décor by placing PPP plants next to other indoor plants.
  • Lastly, plant PPP Plants in hanging pots to beautify & enrich your balcony.
Consider people & location safety when arranging plants in a specific location.
