Philodendron- white princess
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.

from 47 reviewsThis was my first time ordering a plant online, and I would definitely do it again!
I had to wait until today to offer my review because my shipment didn’t come until today. The plants(3) were well secure in the shipping box. Great idea to tape all the plants to the box so they won’t shift. The plants themselves were well wrapped for their safety. The plants arrived in good shape.
Such a healthy, robust specimen. The color is gorgeous, a peach with pink and orange hues! The owner is a delight.
My new Money Tree was delivered in perfect condition! Very grateful for all the advice. Thank you, Melanie!
This is my favorite place to shop for my plants! I absolutely love the ease of ordering and delivery.
My plants are incredibly healthy! The owner is a delightful person and goes above and beyond for their customers.
The palm is a great addition to my collection. So grateful that Melanie has pet-friendly options. I have a new and very curious kitty! Love the delivery service too!
Customer service and knowledgeability of the plants is 10/10
Very beautiful plant. This plant exceeded my expectations. It is a bit larger than I anticipated. That is a very positive thing. Came to me very well cared for. I was pleased with my purchase.
Alocasia Polly is striking and soft at the same time. I will enjoy her for years to come
I was leery of shipping this plant, however it arrived in perfect condition, travelling from Michigan to California, and was even blooming when it arrived! I am so pleased with this as it was a gift for my niece. I will happily ship a plant from The Rooted Plant Shop again!
We had a great time with friends and new friends. Laughter, coffee, and Plants, BEAUTIFUL plants 🪴 ❤️
