Just got my first philodendron: the beautiful pink princess😍  
Any care tips I should know about? Specifically regarding soil? I haven’t repotted it yet but it’s current pot has no drainage.

Definitely put it in something with drainage holes!

Mine love a good chunky mix.

My recipe is:  
50% regular potting mix  
50% Equal parts - perlite/orchid bark/lava rock

Mine seem to love that mix. But I’m sure lots of people have other good mixes as well!

that’s the same one i use!! my philos love it💕 for the person who’s post this is: you can buy a premixed soil. they’re normally labeled as “tropical mix” or “aroid mix”
