If you are looking to get your sweetheart something unforgettable this Valentine’s Day, ditch the chocolate and flowers and go with our February Plant of the Month, the Pink Princess Philodendron. This rare plant features a spectacular form of pink variegation that will turn anyone into an admirer. These patterns form as large splotches, small streaks and sometimes the entire leaf. Ranging from light to dark shades, the pink colors arrange boldly with the varying green shades of the rest of the leaf. As if to emulate the love for your significant other, its leaves are heart shaped, growing large and glossy as if it were a canvas to display its ravishing pigmentation. The Pink Princess Philodendron grows slowly and will begin to vine as it matures. It does best in loose, well drained soil with bright indirect sunlight either indoors or outside in a landscape container. As this plant matures, it will need structure to support its vining growth for an unforgettable display. Prevent leaf burn and root rot by minimizing direct sunlight and overwatering. Be sure to present the remarkable Pink Princess Philodendron to a remarkable person in your life this Valentines Day.
