1. Light: To achieve ideal growth, provide Philodendron Pink Princess with 6-8 hours of indirect light daily. Avoid direct sunlight, as it may result in leaf damage and affect coloration.

2. Location:

Position Philodendron Pink Princess near a window, but not in direct sunlight, is suitable. Philodendron with non-green leaves can tolerate more indirect light compared to all-green leaves.

3. Key Features:

• Pink and dark green leaves
• Large heart-shaped foliage
  
• Upright structure

4. Repotting:

Select a pot that is 2-4 inches bigger than the previous one and has proper drainage holes. Utilize a nutrient-rich indoor potting mix and gently remove the plant from its old pot, detaching the root ball to discard any old soil. Carefully place the plant in the new pot, adding soil to the bottom if necessary, and ensure thorough watering, allowing any excess to drain out. Remember to repot only once a year, and give the plant a month to acclimate before doing so after bringing it home.

5. Watering: 

Allow the top half of the soil to dry out between watering sessions, then water thoroughly, ensuring that excess water can drain away to prevent root rot. Water every 1-2 weeks in fall/winter, once a week in spring/summer.
