That’s the best looking pink princess I’ve ever seen! It’s perfect!

[@TheJungleHaven]

Aww thank you! I'm very proud of her, I'm not going to lie 😂💚

[@laurenervin1404]

Honestly, this specific pink princess was the first one I ever saw that made me think " oh yea, I get it now!" ,but I think it's tue size and maturity of the leaves. For some reason I don't ever see them at that size in the U.S.🤷 if you go back and look at the pic of her original cutting, it was already a much larger leaf than the leaves on the cuttings I see floating around in the U.S.! And since then, I've noticed the same thing on other channels from the U.K., E.U and Australia. They're gorgeous!

[@sandy_carpetsthesecond5013]

@@laurenervin1404 I'd take a guess and say it's because our countries aren't as bright as the US (so we're not as weary about light), combined with higher general humidity. I live in the UK and just stick my plants in the brightest area (currently have 16 all on my west windowcil) I have available and I've never had any problems with burning.

[@laurenervin1404]

@@sandy_carpetsthesecond5013 That's interesting! I hadn't thought about the higher general humidity thing! That combined with less harsh light makes a lot of sense! Cool!

[@sandy_carpetsthesecond5013]

@@laurenervin1404 Yeah. My plants get like, 8 hours of direct sunlight from 2PM till around 9:30PM- Though, that could partially be because I placed them on the window cil late winter, so they had a significantly easier time adapting to the summer lighting conditions due to the gradual increase in light over the spring.

[@Littlewulff]

The size of the pot shocked me!!!! You pan down this giant plant and it’s thriving out from this relatively little pot!! 😂 amazing!

[@stefanotattifrongia3612]

I thought the same, my pink princes is slightly taller than that and I repotted twice in the ladt two years ago. She is in a huge pot now

[@jillynallred2342]

I just got one for $20 at Walmart and it has 2 plants in the pot 💕💖💕 I’m going to poutine for my bestie for her birthday.

PPP goals! I have a little 1 inch cutting with 6 teeny tiny leaves! So amazed how big something that starts off so small can get! Nature so amazing💓🤎🌱

I want to say that your video on care for the pink princess has been one of the most direct informative and entertaining videos that I have seen from many KZbinrs in general Keep doing what you're doing much love from the states

[@TheJungleHaven]

That's honestly such a lovely comment to get, and I appreciate it so much. Thank you 💚

[@aburns1999]

My dad watered his house plants with aquarium water and had the most vigorous and healthy houseplants ever. I plan on doing the same thing. Glad to see someone else doing it. 😃

[@stephaniehirst2600]

You can grow some house plants with the roots in the aquarium it's great for the water quality and great for the plants.

[@MyChannelAboutNothing]

Only do it with mature plants, baby plants will be burned from the ammonia

This is the biggest pink princess phil I've seen. I didn't even know the get this big😮

Wow 😳 I got mine in July she had 3 little leaves. I was very impressed with myself because she is now about 7" tall. But WOW!

Thank you so much for the fishtank water tip!! I have over 50+ plants and a fish tank and it never crossed my mind ❤️

[@TheJungleHaven]

Squeeze the filter gunk into the water and they'll love it even more 💚

[@EScottyBob]

I’ve got Philodendrons growing out of my aquarium… what a concept!

[@michaela467]

Yeees, I've noticed a shift in using my aquarium water vs fresh tap water as well! First of all, you have to change your water anyway. So I always water my plants with the dirty water and save some for top ups. I also always stick my propagations in my tanks. I get roots way faster than in a jar or similar. I think due to the constant movement and quality of the water. 😊 Every now and then I will also add some fertilizer still, but always 3/4 diluted of the recommended dose and not with every watering. I place my plants in their nursery pots in the bathtub, water until it comes out the bottom, let them drain and put them back😄

[@TheJungleHaven]

It's just brilliant isn't it!? Oooh I didn't think to propagate in it, but that's a great tip - I'll definitely give it a go. Thank you 💚

[@yvetishere]

this is so smart why have i never doen this aaahah

[@Jennifer-nz2ss]

I also stick my baby plants in a tank too. They love it! 😊

[@adrianajb]

You’ve really really boosted my plant IQ, sweet lady. Thanks doll!

[@choppinbroccoli7037]

I just bought my first Pink Princess online. I'm so happy. The seller sent me a second baby one for free. I'm excited to learn how to care for them properly.

[@ellewright6991]

I'm in NZ and I sunbathe my plants twice a week in the morning for about 4 hours and then they get filtered afternoon sun. My Lounge is very warm and humid every day and my plants are absolutely thriving 😍 but I need to find new places for them now as they're getting too big 😅 no grow lights, I make my own plant food and water maybe once every 8-10 days but not drenching them.

[@chickiepoo]

Omg she is gorgeousss. Definitely pink princess philodendron goals. Ty!

[@ashleyartus1193]

Ohhhhhhh....she's absolutely beautiful. What a beautiful plant darling. She's a credit to you.

[@dreamcatcher2175]

I’ve got a baby plant of the pink princess yesterday. For now the stem and the leaves look purple-ish/dark greenish. I’m now doing research for not killing this pretty baby, as you did as well in the beginning 😅 I want to point out how i love seeing you smiling and being happy about this plant. I feel the same way, when my plants are growing and doing fine. 🥰😍 thank you for the Tipps. I really hope mine will do good as well. Your princess looks amazing. 😍

[@TheJungleHaven]

Thank you so much, and good luck with your baby plant! Mine looked very similar when she was a baby 💚

[@jennfilice1212]

Your Pink Princess is amazing! I just got a small cutting and I hope mine does amazing like yours. So many of your plants do amazing in a years time. I don’t have as much luck with growth in a years time but I’m learning.

[@mamaj6028]

I got a pink princess and a white knight from a clearance rack locally. Both doing good cause I watched your tips and tricks, so Thank You ! ❤

[@brittanyjameson9280]

After months of looking, I finally got my pink princess... and now I'm sooo scared of doing this wrong. I've gotten better with watering less. But my home is usually on the cooler side. Not cold enough to threaten the health of the plant, but not warm enough to encourage good humidity.

[@cassthompson3386]

You could get a little greenhouse cabinet, so you can create the perfect environment for the plants without changing anything in the rest of the house. 🤷‍♀️ And I've just realized that this is over a year old lol so.....advice is a little late and irrelevant lol 🤦‍♀️😂

[@WesleysPlantWorld]

What a stunning plant and a huge inspiration 🙂

[@haniashkir1670]

I have never seen this plant before but looks beautiful for sure

[@ninakolosova6591]

[@kookoo9800]

I’ve rarely liked this plant and of the ones for sale and affordable never thought it worth it but this one is stunning!! I’ve never seen anyone with one so big

[@TheJungleHaven]

Thank you! I also had such a love hate relationship with this plant for a long time, but now I feel like I'll never be able to part with her 💚

[@eglejaseviciute4393]

Airdrying laundry really helps, I airdry mine, and it brings humidity from 30% to 60% in a couple of hours.

[@MsOpium]

Omg I didn’t even know a plant like this existed!! I need her!

[@igotboredfkit]

If you just need to raise humidity setup a indoor above ground pond then you also have your own fish water. It also acts as a heat sink if you use a large enough tub for it. Fancy gold fish or guppies work great in greenroom ponds

[@jaaustin500]

Thanks for mentioning plants like to be left in a spot once you’ve found it! This is the best advice I’ve found. It may take while to find that spot but I once moved a plant from where it was thriving just for decorating reasons…BIG MISTAKE! I learned my lesson. It took me a year to find another spot it liked - and a lot of near misses with it almost dying. Now I am leaving it where it is thriving once more. You have the largest and most beautiful PP I’ve seen on the net! 😀👍🥰

[@Caseydesiree]

I use fresh water fish tank too,. No chemicals are added to the tank, we let it build it’s own ecosystem. I completely agree they love love it!!

[@TheJungleHaven]

That's great - I bet your plants are super happy 💚

[@carolsmith6817]

From watching British movies, I already know that you guys talk so much faster than the US. Slowing the speed down to .75 works perfectly. thanks

[@reedebrown6006]

Stunning plant. I’m lucky enough to have one of these, which for it’s size, was very reasonable. It has just put out a new leaf which I’m really pleased about. It’s currently about a quarter of the size of yours and I’m really looking forward (and hoping!) for the day it’s a lot bigger. Thanks for a very helpful video.

[@ildikojones7073]

Thank you for this awesome clip. I must say I’ve never seen a pink princess this large! Mine is over a year old and while it’s constantly growing new leaves, it’s all of about 25-30 cm’s tall with small leaves. After watching your clip, I’m baffled as to why it’s not better. Obviously I’m not doing something right. 🥲

[@christinesandarsmontgomery3269]

Hi Claire.😊 I hope this isn't a stupid question but you mentioned using fish tank water for watering your plants. Can I assume this means goldfish tank water that uses fresh water rather than tropical fish tank water that has salt in it? I ask as I have goldfish and would love to use my discarded water. Thanks for the great videos, I love watching them. 🥰

[@RobloxGamer12941]

This is seriously the biggest and most beautiful ppp I've ever seen! 😳 Mine will never look like that because I live in upstate New York and the only humidity we get is in the summer for maybe 3 months and I can't take mine outside. Then winter comes and humidity is about 10% and even a humidifier doesn't help. So I made a pebble tray and hoping for the best

[@michellel564]

That is the most beautiful and biggest pink princess I've ever seen I hope to goodness mine gets even have that big❤❤

[@jenat82]

Yeah, I live in Denmark and only have south and north facing windows. All the "bright indirect light" plants get put in south-facing windows in the winter months. The sun really doesn't have any juice in the winter nor is it even up for more than 6hrs.

[@sAmiZZle82]

Wow what a gorgeous plant and the size of those leaves! How often do you have to repot it? Mine grew superfast this Spring and Summer and I think it already needs a longer post. I assume I have to repot to do this since the post is buried?

[@jionnellyalmodovar7764]

I just got a small one. Yours is so lovely. One question. What type of soil or soil mix do you use? I would love to repot mine soon. Thanks for all the amazing tips. I hope mine grows big and beautiful as well.

[@roxxiecotton]

I bought a humidifier for my plants that’s made from large rooms but my humidity is still sitting at only 28%. I just learned about the pebble tray method and have done that. Thanks for the grouping them together pointer. I hope that will help a bit

[@imraan6405]

if your RH is still 28% there's something wrong with the room you are in.. It sound like your room is not properly isolated at all. I would have it checked out, might even benefit your own health. Good luck!

[@roxxiecotton]

@@imraan6405 thank you!! :) it’s an old farm house so I can’t imagine it’s able to do much unless I have multiple humidifiers going, which I actually did and it worked lol. grouping the ones together that like a higher humidity too also really helped them

[@jodie7516]

Perfect timing! I just got my first little pink princess this week and I am so excited to see her grow. Although she has a small transparent patch (not white) on one of her leaves that I’m concerned about? I really hope it’s nothing bad. Also would really love to see a video all about air-layering too!

[@TheJungleHaven]

So long as the transparent bit isn't affecting more than that little patch then I wouldn't worry to much. It's often caused by overwatering, so if you notice it on any of the other leaves I'd suggest checking the roots to make sure they're in good condition (it might be worth doing that anyway if you're in any doubt) 💚

[@stephanierecchia1737]

Great video! Thank you. Regarding plants not like liking to be moved… Did you just mean moving where they live in your home? Just curious if it also shocks them when I move them outside to water and then bring them back in

I sometimes use a damp cotton bud to help them a little bit if I think they're going to be damaged unfurling 💚

[@nataliepittman3913]

I LOVE your pink Princess Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!! This has been my dream plant for years and I just recently found one at a local green house and me and my daughter both purchased one less than a month ago. My very first leaf was starting to grow I was beyond excited 🥰 Unfortunately something went wrong It started unwinding at the stem and there was a large gap where the rest of the leaf apeard to be stuck. I eventually helped the leaf out because it was in such a bind. Unfortunately my new leaf had been in such a bind that it had already broke. I really don't want to do the wrong thing so I have just left the new steam. Do I just leave it??? Or cut it off??? I'm also going to repot it out of the small nursery plastic container what soil do you recommend? Thank you in advance Any help would be greatly appreciated Natalie

[@floopalaide]

Natalie, you can try spraying trapped leaves with water or even putting a wet cotton ball over them as they unfurl. This is a common issue we all have!!

[@DollyMat]

Yes this is a really common issue with pink Princess. It's due to lack of humidity. I released two leaves on two separate plants last Sunday. You should spray or wet them first then use a cotton bud to gently coax them out. If you notice it stuck you can't leave it too long or they will snap before unfurling.

[@luukcarspotting6699]

Amazing! I am growing my small propagation right now 😍 hopefully I will be back in one year with the same 😄

Do you think a ceramic pot with one nickel-size hole in the bottom is enough drainage? Also when repotting, should you loosen the roots or keep them compacted?

[@fillebisj6387]

Hi Clair! Have gotten so much help from your videos - thank you! I am wondering if you could give some examples of damage that can be caused by cold drafts ☺️ I have a white princess which has started to get curly leaves (especially the big, top ones..). The leaves have gone a bit faded yellowish as well (both spots and a bit spread). I have checked it thoroughly for pests, but couldn’t find any, so I don’t think that’s the issue. On the other hand I have placed it close to a door and there has been some colder days here in Norway. Does this sound like issues you could get from cold drafts? I just got it a couple of weeks ago. I have only reported it to pon and watered regularly.

[@carolstuff]

Thanks for such detailed instructions! I ordered a seedling & waiting for delivery. Do you water the moss pole on your pink princess?

Thanks for the great information I just bought one at Walmart for 20.00

[@SuperPsych09]

Would brackish water work too from a fish tank ?

[@EmmaMorgan09]

Aquarium water is key with all houseplants I feel. My PPP is growing so fast… she is in a south facing window which has a double layer of net voiles to filter the light. It seems to be perfect for me here in Llanelli South Wales.

They love it!! So glad yours is doing well 💚

[@MangroveWorld]

Fortunately, I live in Florida and its naturally humid here.

[@AnnetteAcevedo-l9z]

I love your PPP it’s gorgeous and so tall and large leaves. I have one that’s 2 ft. Tall but leaves are small. I propagated it once and it’s quite tall again. The propagated leaf is doing ok. I put it back in water and see what happens. But how can I get it to grow bushy ?

[@jenn_willey]

I always hear to water airoids when the top 2" of soil to dry out but here in the southeast US its so humid I must use very very chunky/rocky mix (otherwise I get root rot) and I'm unable to use my finger (or moisture probe) to assess the first few inches. It makes it so hard to tell. Lukily, most of my PP's roots are in its spagnum moss pole, so I just let that dry out to *almost* completely dry. Works for plants on spagnmum moss poles but I struggle with ones that are not on poles.

[@genelinemooney7661]

Finally found this plants at my kroegar store here in u.s.a for $30

Amazing! Was yours a top cutting?

[@sierra734]

That’s amazing I trying to get my PP to mature and have large leaves like yours , I gave them both a lazy pole to help . Very nice my Goal’s 💕💕💕💕💕 I wonder if starting with a large mature leaf n node if that helps , I ordered one and they upgraded me to a small rooted plant . But I really wanted the large leaf .

[@TheJungleHaven]

Mine started really quite small to be fair, but a pole definitely helps! Lots of light, humidity and a good quality fertiliser have definitely helped to do the trick (and fishtank water if you can get it) 💚

[@priscillaspets]

do you have a video on how to properly use the tank water for watering plants? do you use water softener in your tank? Thank you!

*pulls out notebook* quick q, where do you get your tall skinny coir poles? I feel like mine needs some support very soon but I don't really want to use a moss one as I'm not sure it would root into it...

The way you speak about watering the plants. It's good thing that use fertilizers and and old fish water. You legit wash out all the nutrition of soil, with all that heavy flushing
