Botanical Name: Philodendron erubescens 'pink princess'Common Names: Pink PrincessDescription: Apart from the splendid pink and dark green leaves, the plant is identified by large waxy leaves. These leaves can grow up to 9" long and 5" wide. The pinkness on the leaves is due to a lack of chlorophyll-the chemical that makes plants' leaves green. However, some greenness on the leaves is also necessary so that the plants can photosynthesize.Important notice: The plant you received may have less pink than the plant pictured; however, as the plant matures you'll see more pink variegation.
