Plant Bio
Philodendron erubescens ‘White Princess’
The White Princess is a prized, collectible philodendron derived from Philodendron erubescens, whose parent species come from the tropical regions of South America. It’s grown almost entirely for its dramatic variegation: upright, deep-green leaves streaked and splashed with creamy white, often with flecks of pink on the stems and new growth.
Every leaf is unique, and no two plants variegate the same way — part of what makes it so sought-after among houseplant collectors.
Because the white sections have no chlorophyll, it needs plenty of bright, indirect light to stay healthy and keep producing variegated growth (too little light and it reverts to green; direct sun scorches the white). Water when the top inch or two dries, use a loose, airy, well-draining mix, and feed monthly in the growing season.
Rare, elegant, and air-purifying, it’s a showpiece plant that rewards a little extra care — just keep it away from pets and children, as philodendrons are toxic if chewed.
Why collectors love the White Princess
