I think for a pink princess it would be best to move her to soil, since they’re climbers and benefit from support. Philos in general like a “chunky” soil mix. An airy, chunky mix will also help the roots transition from water to soil.

Another option would be semi hydro, but that is not my wheelhouse!

Do you mean like an orchid type soil? Thanks for the help

Ya aroid mix is usually bark chips, chunky perlite, and some soil. I hope this helps!

How big is the pot right now

I’d suggest a size 5”
