The White princess philodendron, an eye-catching white variegated foliage. This hybrid has a self-heading, upright habit rather than being a climbing, vining, like many philodendrons.

If you’re lucky enough to source one of these stunners, keep it away from your kids and four-legged friends. The white princess, like other Philodendron, is toxic to pets and people.

Here are the main care requirements for making the most of the stunning white variegated leaves of the philodendron white princess: 

  • Position in bright, indirect light.
  • Pot in rich, well-drained potting mix.
  • Water regularly, but allow the soil to dry slightly before irrigating.
  • Keep in a warm spot with high humidity.

Philodendron plants, which sit in dappled light on the rainforest floor in their natural habitat, are known for tolerating low light.

However, the philodendron white princess needs plenty of bright, indirect light to prevent the white variegation from fading—at least six hours is ideal. It’s all about getting the balance right. Too much direct, harsh sunlight can scorch the delicate foliage. Your philodendron white princess will appreciate a loose, well-draining potting mix that’s high in nutrient-dense organic matter.

You can buy commercial aroid mixes or try making up your own. A homemade blend of equal parts potting soil, perlite,and orchid bark is a common combo. Soilless mixtures such as peat and vermiculite or even 100 percent sphagnum peat moss can also work. 

While consistent moisture is key to keeping the foliage on your philodendron white princess looking its best, watch out for overwatering. Soggy soils are a no-no and can lead to root rot.  Let the top few inches of soil fully dry out before watering again.
