I got my first philodendron for my birthday and she’s a pink princess!! I’m so excited about her, and I wanna make sure I’m taking the best care of her. She’s about to pop a new leaf, and I really hope she keeps giving me good variegated leaves, so I wanna make sure she gets the best light. Right now I have her like 3ft from a massive east facing window that gets a good amount of light throughout the day, but obviously the most in the morning. The spider plant behind her has been there for ages and he seems to really love that spot and gets the right amount of light. Should I put her under a grow light for her just in case, and if so what level of light should I set the light to? What can I do to help her fill out some with more leaves? At what point should I maybe try to get her a post for her to try to climb? Thanks in advance!! I’ve really only cared for a spider plant that I’ve had since the 5th grade so any advice would be appreciated!

    I have three princesses, 2 are attached to poles and 1 left alone. The one is growing like crazy and the ones on poles are not as beautiful. Just saying

      What do you do to encourage larger leaves on the one that isn’t on a pole? Mine has given me like 3 new leaves already but they all seem like they’re on the smallish side

    Liquid fertilizer and indirect light

      I’m using both, but I’ve been getting little leaves out of her. Should I not worry about it until she looks a little bushier? I got a moss pole for her but I haven’t decided if I’m gonna put her in on it yet. This is what she looks like today, 2 new leaves and one about to pop out.

      I’ve also been worried about the humidity because the new leaves are kind of wrinkley, I just put a humidifier on the floor by her today so I’m hoping that helps.
