# Hi everyone! I’m relatively new to the plant world, philodendrons…

_Posted by Alyssa D. on 2025-06-10_

Hi everyone! I’m relatively new to the plant world, philodendrons specifically but I came across this white princess who wasn’t looking great so I brought her home and put her under my grow light. She’s recently produced the most beautiful white new leaf but I think I saw somewhere that a fully white leaf isn’t good? Should I chop it? Help!

Don’t chop it ! If it has any color on the leaf (besides white ) it can still grow ! And it has some pink !!! So do not chop it !

Lol thank you! After some further inspection I saw another tiny leaf starting that looks to have some colour as well. Cant wait to see the progress!

Yep ! It looks great !

They might be saying a seedling that starts out all white is bad (and yes they die ) but this is a fully grown green white plant !
