# I recently rescued a few plants from my boss! I’m thinking this…

_Posted by Jay on 2024-04-12_

I recently rescued a few plants from my boss! I’m thinking this little guy might be a pink princess in dire straights, what do you guys think? My boss said she never really had it around any good light sources, and she was gifted it so she isn’t 100% sure!

its a PPP( pink princess philodendron) and it needs more light and when the main stem and the leaves are stretching it needs more light

Perfect, that’s exactly what I thought!!! That’s so exciting, so funny that I stumbled on it like this!! I think I’ll propagate and see if I can bring her back! Thanks for the help! ✨

It may need time to know if it's a Princess for sure... let more of the variegation come out. But it looks like you could get some more good leaves out of it pretty soon! I wouldn't cut it back or prop it completely, depending on what the roots look like. If they're good, give it a chance! A fun experiment. ☺️

I’ll give it some time to heal and perk up before I do anything too crazy!! Looking forward to how she grows! 😊

I think it could be a red Anderson philodendron, not sure if it’s a pink princess

#### Jay replied on 2024-04-19

Ooooh I see! I haven’t even heard of that one before, I’m definitely looking forward to see how it looks when it sprouts its first new leaf, if I can get it that far!! Thanks so much for the insight!
