The White Princess Philodendron is a striking and elegant houseplant, prized for its dark green leaves adorned with splashes of creamy white variegation. Compact and slow-growing, it’s perfect for indoor spaces where it can be admired up close. This rare philodendron thrives in bright, indirect light and appreciates a warm, humid environment. With proper care, it can become a standout feature in any indoor plant collection.
To water a White Princess Philodendron properly allow the top few centimetres of soil to dry out between waterings. Stick your finger into the soil—if the top 2–5 cm feels dry, it's time to water. Water thoroughly, allowing excess water to drain from the bottom of the pot. Never let the plant sit in water, as this can cause root rot. Reduce watering in winter, when the plant’s growth slows and it needs less moisture. If the leaves start to droop or yellow, it may be a sign of overwatering or poor drainage. Use room-temperature water, ideally rainwater or filtered, to avoid mineral build-up. A good rule of thumb: it's better to underwater slightly than to overwater.
