Rescued this Pink Princess Philo from home depot. She was very crispy and brown but I think Im doing right by her? Let me know any advice to help her thrive! (coco pole is only there for support, a moss pole will be made once aerial roots appear but she’s just recovering now.

I have four of these beautiful princesses, and one thing I do know, is that they love plant lights! It seems that the lights really make the pink colors pop in these plants.  
PS. My plants, at least, appear very fertile, and I’ve had babies have babies, very quickly…🤭! Best of luck with your sweet baby!

Thank you so much, Lynda! I placed her under a plant light instead of the sun to see if she doesnt like that better :). Cant wait to see her thrive!
