philodendron, pink princess in prayer plant today! I was honestly blown away about how cheap my pink princess was. I’m so thrilled about these plants, and they both were so cheap for what they usually are priced for. dream plants🪴🪴🪴🪴(edit: apparently the ppp is actually a ficus ruby!!!)

my local nursery shonnards!!

The pink princess is a ficus ruby. Very pretty 😊

#### Ana svarade den 2023-07-03

No, they are not the same thing but this one is definitely a ficus ruby. A quick google search will help confirm 😊 Nurseries often miss-tag plants. I think it is important to know which plant you have accurately because the care varies a lot by species. Ficus need a lot more light and water than philodendrons do.

i’m not sure if she’s a ficus or pink princess, they look so alike! what’s the difference between pinks and ficus’

#### Ana svarade den 2023-07-03

They are a completely different plant genus for one. Philodendron are climbers and ficus are more tree-like. As I stated on my previous comment, Ficus and Philodendron also have very different care requirements. Also, the leaves are very very different. Like I said, completely different species.

#### 🌿Nicola🔮 svarade den 2023-07-03

ok! thank you! so are you for sure she’s a ficus ruby? I did some research, and she definitely looks more like a ficus ruby.

#### Ana svarade den 2023-07-03

Yes, 100% sure she is a ficus ruby

LOVE my lemon-lime maranta. She just grows and grows. And doesn’t stop moving and praying. I give her lots of grow light love. Enjoy!

thank you for the tips!!! i’m glad i scored on plant babies🥰

### Gigglzngreenz kommenterade den 2023-07-03

That is a very pretty ficus Ruby. I’ve never seen one. I want one.

#### 🌿Nicola🔮 svarade den 2023-07-03

are ficus rubies and pink princesses the same thing then?

#### Gigglzngreenz svarade den 2023-07-03

No, very different just like Ana said. Her info is right on the money. When you find a pink Princess you’ll see. PPP’s have aroid roots and ficus are trees so they do not. PPP has deep dark red stems and petioles. And the green in the leaves is much darker, almost black.

#### 🌿Nicola🔮 svarade den 2023-07-03

ok, thank you so much!!!

#### Gigglzngreenz svarade den 2023-07-04

You are welcome. Good luck with your search. I actually have a small PPP I propped from this mother that I’m willing to share if you’re in the US. It’s a baby but she’s growing! If so you can email me at nonni1957 at gmail dot com to trade information. I don’t know how to IM in this app.

#### 🌿Nicola🔮 svarade den 2023-07-04

oh wow! i’ll défi think about it.
