I brought home this pink princess philodendron about 6 weeks ago. It just blessed me with a completely pink leaf!

Although she is absolutely beautiful, please do research on all-pink leaves growing on PPPs. This is not a good sign. It means that there is a lack of chlorophyll and therefore photosynthesis is inhibited. You may have to chop the stem down to below the first node (at least) in order to promote variegation again. Otherwise, you may lose your beautiful baby.

Your plant has REALLY nice variegation and a good looking growth pattern. If you chopped and propped that you’d get some really nice babies. Those pink leaves are so good though. It’s sad they can’t sustain themselves. Mine just did this to me but your plant is much prettier and has so much speckling it will still look amazing after you cut the pink off.
