I have a pink princess (who refuses to be pink lol) and her new leaves look a lot like this! I obviously don’t want to tell you wrong but when I saw it that’s what I thought of (picture of a new leaf that’s about to unravel on mine for comparison)

I was told it was (I guess I should learn by now not to trust big stores with plant info lol) what would you guess it is?

Looks like it might be a black cardinal

#### Plantlife replied on 2025-10-10

That does look like it, especially the new leaves being kind of pink. I had never heard of that before so thank you!

This could also be an imperial red!

Yes, new leaf. It's inside a cataphyll that will eventually separate from the leaf and let the leaf unfurl.

I believe my plant is a Philodendron 'Atabapoense'
