How To Care For Philodendron erubescens “Pink Princess” | Plant Of The Week Ep. 17

[@dominicflorio5708]

A friend had one that was four foot tall, with a stem thicker than yours. It had a few leaves at the very top. I convinced her to cut it up. She gave me two pieces of the stem. Her top part grew roots, and the pot shot up leaves. I laid the two pieces of stem on moss, in a humidity box. They have rooted and produced multiple leaves. I have potted them up together and I'm expecting a multi-stemed plant.

[@judymckerrow6720]

I have a pink princess, while the variegated leaves are beautiful, it is the most wonky growing plant I own. Never really fills out, just kinda grows.💚🙃

[@AndYourLittleDog]

I just ordered Tickled Pink and Utah and have been SO overwhelmed with contradictory information on plant care! Thanks so much for this very timely video!

[@neelambaramalik]

Try growing it with a moss poll. Mine is starting to go haywire

[@laurievanduyne1358]

I don’t really like how it grows, I would chop it! Lol

[@sierra734]

Neel got mine today I’ll take that advice! She’s pretty 💕

[@tequilahowell4674]

Take some cuttings and put in the pot with it to make her fuller .. if you want

[@ariannasearway]

Thank you! Just had a friend pick one up for me at a local’ish greenhouse, they were selling them for $35. No that wasn’t a typo THIRTY FIVE! AND THEY ARE BIG! I’m beyond excited, meeting up with her in the am to pick it up.

[@QueenKaleGardener]

No way!! Lucky!

[@ariannasearway]

@@QueenKaleGardener when I saw them post on Instagram I absolutely could not believe it. I messaged a friend who lives closer to the greenhouse and she literally ran to pick a few up. I’m incredibly thankful that the greenhouse doesn’t believe in price gouging.

[@caitXmorris]

So jealous!

[@Mar13579]

I just got TWO for $40 as well 😍 they have about 8-10 leaves each 😱😲

[@organixgirl]

I honestly think the prices are going down they are not as expensive as they were.

[@lynneevaskevich4291]

I was so excited when I was able to buy a little pink princess, about 4” tall, with its own cute little moss pole, from a local Facebook plant page, for $50. It was the most I had ever paid for a plant, but it has been such fun watching it grow. I have a few leaves with dabs or streaks of pink, and two trying to open, one looks a little pink and the other is looking very bright pink so far. I can hardly wait! My plant is very bushy so far, and like all my plants is in a totally north facing bright window. I do turn a grow light on for a couple of hours at night if I remember. Love your KZbin’s! 💕🍃🇨🇦

[@olgare2838]

I got a free PPP node after winning an auction for another plant, it’s rooting in sphagnum and already pushing a leaf! Super stoked, and even more so cause I didn’t have to pay $50+ for a wet stick

[@heidialvarez9139]

How is your plant doing?

[@myphuong6960]

let us know how your plant is doing! I just got a wet stick for $10 hehehe

[@jessicaishere8416]

I have several. I’ve noticed a lot of sellers will sell what they call “Reverted” burgundy princesses. I buy the reverted ones because it’s so simple to get the pink back with simply air wrapping noids and putting it In my grow tents light. However ~ I’ve noticed alot of sellers send these in pots filled with spag moss. I can’t help but think ~ they are only “Reverted” because the spag moss holds No nutrient values compared to soil,orchard bark,liquid fertilizer etc. once I put them in soil, perlite, and adequate lighting = they sprout bright pink in the air wrapped sections. Such a gorgeous plant and the one of my most favorite.❤️🥰 great video. Love your personality.

[@ninaeklund8570]

So happy that the prices in my area(Sweden) are going down! I got a 2" nursery pot for about 5 dollars at a local garden center and I'm so excited to be able to follow its growth! I've seen bigger ones, about 6" ones go for about 20 dollars in store. However, the Facebook marketplace prices are still about 70 dollars for one leaf propagations.

[@nicolebrown6382]

I bought a bunch of young PPPs which were on sale at Bunnings for $7 each a few months ago. I'm returning to this video because they've finally adapted to their new pots and environment and are slowly but steadily putting out new growth. Gotta remind myself of what they need so I don't get overconfident and stuff it up!

[@chippy727]

Great plant! I have cut mine twice in the last year to propagate it and it made the plant more bushy. I have two vines now coming out of one plant and the last place I cut is starting to grow so it will soon be three vines. One of my favorites. Great video.

[@frankandluna]

Thank you so much for this! I just got my princess today! I’m scared but excited!! They’re definitely pricey!

[@laurelkendun]

how’s it going so far? i really want one, but my most expensive plant that I’ve bought so far was $26 if that gives you any idea of how “big” my budget is. My sister has one and i’m planning on begging her for a cutting…so we’ll see how that goes :)

[@michaelhood5486]

Mine comes in tmrw off eBay! I paid $85

[@hannahb7327]

I got 2 for $85 today!

[@sharpestdart]

I have to agree with you regarding the lighting. I had mine pulled back about 6' from a SW facing window and all I got were solid green leaves. I decided to put it directly in front of that same window and the first leaf it pushes out since sitting there was half pink. I was lucky when I found mine. It was just before the hype and their popularity totally exploded, so I paid $7 for a 3' pot

[@Nigh1shad3]

I've wanted one for years. I assumed the price would drop. It hasn't.

[@kevinwilliamsson6395]

@She_so_planty in sweden you can get away with 30-50

[@suekia2273]

I recommend you check Facebook market I just got one for 45$ last year I was checking the price were like 500$ and up but never cheek Facebook market till 2 days ago and I finally got my dream plant, good luck

[@o0mew0o]

I thought I'll never buy this plant because it was so expensive, I didn't even have it in my wishlist. I got a tiny one yesterday for €5!!

[@ServitoreLuceGialla]

Just got one today for 8.50 Euros in italy. It's variegated but not too strong. About 8-9 nodes. I've been seeing them depreciate for a few months. The bubble has burst, the pink princess is now an affordable plant

[@MyraMurison]

This plant is still in my forever wish list. I just can’t allow myself to get this one because like you said it is too expensive. Ridiculous. Maybe some day.. Thank you for sharing this Nick.. 🌿💚

[@elizabethgreco-nieves3667]

I have two of them and I find the variegation is very hit or miss. Some with no pink and other leaves come in almost all pink. I love 💕 this plant

[@destyne.dispute714]

ah! thanks so much, just got mine last week and im doting on its new growth! hope more pink will come out soon!

[@reyhosein2533]

That plant needs to be renamed "a hint of pink princess", it's nice, but somewhat overrated, just my thoughts.

[@neelambaramalik]

Rey Give it more light. The variegation becomes distinct and so pronounced.

[@justynalisok5102]

Do I have a Pink Princess? Nope. Do I like it or want it? Nope. Still, watching? Yup.

[@RuubinSelena]

I just cut mine to pieces in the hopes of getting more variegation.. fingers crossed 🤞🏻😅

[@vkklynn88]

Did it work?

[@RuubinSelena]

It did work!! Very pleased. I potted the cuttings in with the other plant and now have a bushier plant with more variegation 😍

Yay this made me excited about my baby i bought this morning. They normally go for $160 -$200 in New Zealand and i got a really great size with lots of pink for $60

[@awadodem]

haha, just discovered that I propagated this one at a venue 2 years ago (I just took it (stole it) after a concert)! It groes weirdly, leaf out of leaf, and I liked its red base, did not know that the leaves could become pink in best circumstances! hahaha Thnx for the information (haha secretly proud that I propagated an expensive girl )

[@sirvartartinian5944]

If the mother plant had no pink, then you did not get a pink princess but a regular philodendron (I don't remember the name)

Thank you for the info on the punk princess. I just received a piece from a friend and its doing well. Thanks again

[@spiderbouquet3670]

Ugh, it's so pretty! I feel like I'll never be able to get one though. They're so expensive 😫

[@shayahpanzerfuchs8310]

It's possible that the price will plummet. Right now they are growen in tissue culture also mass produced. Someday there will be more then enough so they have to lower the price.

[@ImacHunt77]

Very inexpensive in Aus at the moment so price will probably drop 😊

[@juanaortega9006]

You should ask someone who will love to switch plants, one day I was at the farmers market and I started talking to a Vietnamese lady about plants and she ask me which plants I have and if we can switch plants and of course said yes and we share plants and now I have a friend 🌿

[@Misshalimay]

Thank you! I got my first princess today!! It’s small two inch plant good price though! 54$ I’ve been looking for a few weeks before getting one. I have several other philodendrons and they’re easy to grow so I cross my fingers this one will be easy for me! I’ve been a lot better with plants now that I’ve had them for longer. I killed a lot my first year lol 😩

[@StormNothing]

I have a pink Princess that is MASSIVE. 14 leaves 1 new one coming in also and the biggest leaf is larger than my hand. :) about 2 1/2 feet tall. The newest leaves have some really interesting variegation. I’m planning to get a grow light because my apartment doesn’t have much light now and I’m excited to see how it reacts to that :)

[@KymeGracia]

Mine looks like yours, but I see peoples post theirs with big leaves and full. I suppose they just have a bunch of plants in one pot. I think its ok, but waaaaay over hyped.

[@nguyenhuynh5567]

I feel like that princess is quite stubborn. Sometimes it makes you sad but then it pops out some variegation to cheer you up. As a result, it is playing with your mood

.Last week I found a very damaged one at Bunnings Newcastle area Australia. . Original price $20 sale $8 in 7 inch pot. I cut it immediately at the node with 3 large damaged leaves on cutting and placed in water. The remaining plant has a large stem, over an inch diameter , with two babies growing from it. Looks like the big leaves where the pink was is mostly missing with only splotches of color left. I'm happily awaiting new growth.

[@aussiejjdude3066]

The bunnings ones are TC. Not necessarily bad, but many find them not to have strong pink patterning and generally don't look similar to the insta pics of the PP.
