Philodendron ‘Green Princess’

Description

Embrace the lush green foliage and regal presence of Prismacolor ‘Green Princess’–the all-green counterpart to our beloved ‘Birkin’. ‘Green Princess’ has glossy, ovate-shaped leaves of rich, deep green. Leaves grow in a clumping, upright manner, no staking required. Therefore, you will find this princess commands much less attention than most! Position your ‘Green Princess’ in just about any level of light, and she will grow with style and grace.

• For optimal performance, keep your Philodendron at 60-85°F (15-29°C).
• Philodendrons perform best in bright, indirect light or filtered sunlight. Too much direct sunlight, especially in the middle of the day, can scorch the leaves. A little morning or evening sun, however, may help your Philodendron to flourish, especially in the short, dim days of winter. Philodendrons will tolerate lower light conditions, but they will not show their coloration/variegation as intensely in low light, or grow as quickly.
• Philodendrons appreciate higher humidity, but are generally adaptable to ambient household humidity. In general, if your philodendron has thicker, waxier leaves, it will be able to tolerate less humidity; if your philodendron has thin, fine leaves, it will perform better if given a higher humidity situation. You can help maintain humidity above 50% by using a humidifier or keeping your Philodendron on a pebble tray.
• Philodendrons prefer to be watered when the top 1-2 inches of soil feels dry. Ensure good drainage and do not allow your Philodendron to sit in water for extended periods of time, after it has received a good soaking.
