Philodendron White Princess is a striking and highly sought-after aroid, known for its beautifully variegated foliage with splashes of creamy white, green, and sometimes light pink. It’s a slow-growing hybrid, often confused with the White Knight or White Wizard, but the White Princess has narrower leaves and pinkish stems (especially near new growth).

🌿 Quick Overview:

• Botanical Name: Philodendron hybrid (exact parentage not publicly known)

• Common Name: White Princess

• Type: Climbing aroid (can be trained on a moss pole)

• Growth Habit: Upright and compact

• Leaf Shape: Lanceolate (narrow and pointed)

• Leaf Color: Green with white and sometimes pink variegation

• Toxicity: Toxic to pets and humans if ingested

🌱 Care Guide:

🪴 Light:

• Bright, indirect light is ideal to maintain variegation.

• Too little light causes the white variegation to fade; too much direct sunlight may scorch the leaves.

💧 Water:

• Water when the top 2–3 cm (1 inch) of soil feels dry.

• Avoid overwatering — root rot is a common issue.

🌡️ Temperature:

• Prefers 18–28°C (65–82°F).

• Keep away from cold drafts or sudden temperature drops.

💦 Humidity:

• Enjoys high humidity (above 60%).

• Benefits from misting, a humidifier, or being placed near other plants.

🌱 Soil:

• Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix (e.g., peat + perlite + orchid bark + charcoal).

• pH should be slightly acidic to neutral (5.5–7.0).

🌿 Fertilizer:

• Feed monthly during the growing season (spring/summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer, diluted to half strength.

• Reduce or stop feeding in winter.

🧹 Maintenance Tips:

• Wipe leaves regularly to keep them dust-free.

• Prune to encourage bushier growth and remove any damaged or all-green leaves.

• Can be propagated by stem cuttings, ideally with at least one node.
