Ezzeldin YaqoubYou should be little bit on the under water side when it comes to philodendrons.

She tends to droop and become limp whenever the soil is dry. Thoughts?

Not too dry just a little bit dry. In other words should feel kind of moist and not very dry. If you mean the one on the bottom off the stem that has flopped, just let it be, only remove it when it has fully dead.

The leaf on top that’s half white and half green/pink is mushy and browning. And thanks for the moisture tip

Wolfen 🐺If it's straight coco peat, you may want to change to well draining soil. Thats a plus for greenhouses but usually not ideal for home environment. It's more than likely retaining too much water in between waterings. Which will cause rotting roots and mushy leaves.

PERFECT ADVICE! That’s probably what it is. Thanks for interacting, I see you liking my posts (and I, yours!) a lot! :)

Yea! :) the peat is really weird too. I swear it's like so wet. And then its sucking the moisture from the plants 😆 🤣 it works really well in a constant humidity, but not so much in a normal fluctuating home. Gods forbid you add in one of those foamy type plugs

MOLLYI’m having issues with mine— do you know what to do for yellowing leaves?

Some Master Gardeners I’ve talked to said Pink Princesses require more intense care than other philodendrons. Mine had one yellow leaf when I bought it and I just cut it off. No problems with yellowing leaves since then

The whole line is really a pain 😢 thus usually with man made hybrids. If they keep yellowing I'd check the roots. I dont have one of the original pink princess, but have black cherry and orange princess galaxy. I usually let mine dry out before watering. Then water heavily on their water day.

PjJonesThis is very true. My pink princess and I have been struggling together for about a year now lol they are some picky plants, but beautiful so they’re worth the primadonna behavior 😂
