# Hello all! I recently bought 2 pink princess cuttings off of Facebook…

_Posted by Shantelly on 2024-06-05_

Hello all!

I recently bought 2 pink princess cuttings off of Facebook Marketplace from 2 separate people. I put them together and then staked them to encourage them to climb. It’s been about a week and the leaves seem to have drooped. It’s in a pot with drainage and I water when mostly dry, maybe every 2 weeks. I have in bright direct/indirect light in a west facing window. I’m new to philodendrons so any tips would be appreciated!!

they love humidity! make sure to mist or put it near a humidifier if you have one ☺️  
i have no expert advice, but in my experience, my philodendrons needed some recovery time when i brought them home, as they were in tough shape. i’d say this plant looks like it’s gonna need some time before it’ll perk!

i will add - they probably won’t climb that stick well, i’d try to get a wood board or moss pole (make sure it’s a lil moist to encourage climbing!)

Were the cuttings rooted?
