{"product_id":"philodendron-pink-princess","title":"Philodendron erubescens 'Pink Princess'","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Pink Princess gets its name from the pink variegation in its leaves, whose dark green is tinged with pink as well as having bright pink variegation. This philodendron is a vining plant which will climb if you give it a support to climb up; as a young plant it will initially grow straight up but will either look to climb or hang as it grows taller. These plants are used to rainforest undergrowth, so make sure they don't sit in too direct sunlight and they're not in too dry a spot (steer clear of radiators!). With the right amount of light and an occasional mist, this plant will reward you with stunning, bi-coloured foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScientific Name\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003ePhilodendron erubescens\u003c\/em\u003e (blushing tree-hugger) 'Pink Princess'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis species name was first identified and published in 1854.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Names\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003ePink Princess, Pink Princess Philodendron, Blushing Philodendron, PPP\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eTropical areas of South\/Central America\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlace in moderate to bright indirect light.
