Frequently Asked Questions
Why are the new leaves on my Philodendron coming out greener? Variegation fades due to lack of light — move the plant closer to a window with bright indirect light. A nutrient deficiency can also reduce variegation — resume fertilizing in spring.
How can I encourage variegation on a Philodendron? Light is the key factor — bright indirect light maximizes variegation. Avoid shade, which produces greener, less colorful leaves. A balanced fertilizer in spring and summer also supports the production of new well-variegated leaves.

Which Philodendron variety to choose?
The Philodendron genus offers a wide variety of foliage. Here are some varieties available in our catalog:
- Philodendron 'Burgundy Princess' (this plant) — burgundy-green leaves with pink and cream variegation, burgundy stems. The rarest and most colorful.
- Philodendron 'Pink Princess' — dark green leaves with bright pink variegation. The best known in pink tones.

- Philodendron 'Imperial Red' — large deep copper-red leaves. The most dramatic.
- Philodendron 'Prince of Orange' — new bright orange leaves turning green. The brightest.
Other varieties available in our catalog — Micans, Scandens, Melanochrysum, and more.
Exposure & location
- Ideal exposure: bright indirect light — pink and cream variegation is more intense in good light.
- Tolerates: moderate indirect light.
- Avoid: direct sun that burns leaves and fades variegation, and too deep shade that dulls it.
- Temperature: 18–27 °C, no drafts or sudden changes.
- Humidity: high recommended — mist regularly.
The brighter the light (without direct sun), the more pronounced the pink and cream variegation and the deeper the burgundy of new leaves. See our light and humidity guide to find the best spot.
Watering & care
- Watering: moderate — let the top 2-3 cm of soil dry out between waterings.
- Frequency: about once a week in spring and summer, every 2 weeks in winter.
- Water: preferably filtered or rainwater.
- Drainage: pot must have drainage holes.
- Humidity: mist the foliage regularly.
- Fertilizer: diluted liquid fertilizer for green plants, once a month in spring and summer.
Overwatering is the main risk — wait until the top few centimeters of soil are dry. Check out our finger test guide to never overwater.
Decor ideas & plant pairings
Its rare two-tone foliage — deep burgundy, pink, and cream — creates an immediate and very original plant focal point.
- Solo: on a shelf or desk in bright indirect light — each leaf is unique, making it a plant to admire up close.
- In composition: pair it with a Philodendron Melanochrysum for a duo of Philodendrons with striking dark foliage.
- Ideal pot: matte black ceramic, terracotta, or anthracite gray — dark tones highlight the pink and cream variegation by contrast.
Its new leaves appear in spectacular reddish tones before darkening — a living plant show that continuously evolves.
Verdeia tips
- Variegation is random and unique — each leaf has a different pattern. This is the hallmark of this variegated variety — the variegation of new leaves cannot be exactly predicted.
- Bright light to maximize variegation — in too low light, new leaves emerge greener and less variegated. Move the plant closer to a window with indirect light.
- Repot when roots come out of the pot — into a slightly larger pot. See our repotting guide for proper steps.
- ⚠️ Toxic to pets — keep out of reach of cats and dogs. See our plants and pets guide for suitable alternatives.

What to do upon receiving my plant?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
