# Help! 😭i originally had one pink princess philo and it started to…

_Posted by Janaea on 2024-09-01_

Help! 😭i originally had one pink princess philo and it started to die so i chopped and propped. Fast forward 2 years and i have 8 individual princesses but they have all reverted. Every new leaf i hope that it’s going to be pink but it’s always green. Is there a way to make them pink again?

Give it the brightest indirect light you can and it'll slowly start to change pink again.

It’s very hard for them to revert back to there pink once they have reverted. Even with bright light doesn’t seem to help in my experience and what ive read on google it wont help but i could be wrong. Put it in brighter light and do some more research. Because i would 100 percent like to know also. Everyone’s experiences are different.

They’ve been in a grow light or direct light for a couple years 😭and they still haven’t changed. So unfortunately i don’t think they’ll come back now :( I’ve tried different fertilizers too and that doesn’t seem to do much. The most pink I’ve seen is the smallest speck on a leaf.

Same here also. So i feel your pain. I’ve chopped and propped and have mine in bright indirect light and nothing.
