Botanical Name: Philodendron erubescens 'Naomi' Common Names: Pink Princess Marble Description: Apart from the splendid pink and dark green leaves, the plant is identified by large waxy leaves. These leaves can grow up to 9” long and 5” wide. The pinkness on the leaves is due to a lack of chlorophyll—the chemical that makes plants’ leaves green. However, some greenness on the leaves is also necessary so that the plants can photosynthesize. ✓ Free Shipping · ✓ Carefully Packed Live Plant · ✓ Ships Across the Continental U.S. · ✓ 48-Hour Live-Arrival GuaranteeNatural variation expected with live plants Botanical Label Common name: Philodendron 'Marble Pink Princess' Botanical name: Philodendron 'Marble Pink Princess' Light: Bright, indirect (brighter light keeps variegation vivid); no harsh direct sun Water: when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry.

It can take medium light, but variegated plants prefer brighter (still indirect) light. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the leaves. Watering: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry — it likes to dry out a bit between waterings rather than stay soggy. Empty any saucer so the roots don't sit in water. Humidity: Loves higher humidity as a tropical aroid, but adapts to normal household humidity; extra humidity supports lush, healthy growth. Temperature: Typical room temperatures (roughly 65–85°F). Keep it away from cold drafts and heating or AC vents. Soil: A chunky, well-draining aroid mix (potting soil with bark and perlite) in a pot with drainage. Support: Give it a moss pole or trellis to climb — climbing encourages larger, more mature leaves. Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced houseplant fertilizer in spring and summer; pause in winter. Pruning: Trim to shape anytime; stem cuttings with a node root easily in water. Care tip: If leaves stay small or sparse, give it more bright indirect light and a pole to climb. Best Display Spots Bright living-room corner with a moss pole: let it climb into a statement. Shelf or plant stand: trailing types spill over beautifully. Near an east or north window: bright, indirect light without harsh sun. Bathroom or kitchen (if bright): enjoys the extra humidity. Office with good indirect light: an easy tropical accent. Best For / Think Twice If Best for: Philodendron and aroid fans Bright, indirect-light spots People who enjoy watching a plant grow and mature Statement-foliage lovers Collectors who can give it a bit more light Think twice if: Homes where pets may chew leaves — it is toxic to cats and dogs Very dark rooms Anyone who tends to overwater plants Shoppers wanting a compact plant that stays small Botanical Exhibit Notes It's a climbing tropical aroid (family Araceae) — happiest with something to climb, like a moss pole or trellis. Aroids like this are easy to propagate — a stem cutting with a node roots readily in water or soil. In good light it grows quickly through the warm months, pushing out fresh leaves. Its variegation means a little less chlorophyll, so it grows more slowly and prefers bright (indirect) light to stay vibrant.
