Hi, I watched a Wildfern video yesterday and she got the idea from someone else to wrap a warm, wet towel around a stuck new leaf, to get it to unfurl. She used a dish towel on a Bird of Paradise leaf. This morning, I used a papertowel on my Adansonii and the leaf unfurled. I left it on about 10 minutes. It was magic!
Yes I know that trick, it works great! I learned that from another Dutch plant content creator, Iris from @mamaboranica.amsterdam 👌🏻 Also Fern is awesome
You have so much patience propagating you ppp! I just bought my first one and I am excited/ nervous of how the journey will go. Thanks for the video it was very helpful
Hiya! So you mention the cutting that died, the one that had the half moon leaf, and since I’m just watching now I remember that that was the cutting where you didn’t let it dry before putting in wet perlite! I’m not sure if that would be the difference but thought I would mention in case it helps in the future :) Loved watching this video, thank you for sharing your process!
This video was pretty much exactly what I was looking for, thank you! Mine is a top cutting that I got last fall. She lived in water until this early spring, although I kept gradually adding coco peat as well, in which she was eventually potted. The growth has started to slow down massively, even though it's summer now, my apartment if getting the best light this time of year and it's already been a while from potting it, so you'd think it had established some soots already. Each new leave is smaller than the last and they're becoming so tiny. I'm feeling a little impatien and I'm considering chopping it. It's quite consistently pink throughout, and to be honest I do enjoy the red hue of the regular green parts just as much. But I am a bit worried it might revert to mostly green if I cut it now, although the stem has really good pink streaks and I think I might have relatively high chances of retaining a lot of color. Got to knock on wood, but fortunately it completely suvived a thrips problem I'm just now getting past, with practically zero damage. They took out a lot of softer plants during a vacation.
Love it 💕 I have a Pink Princess I only got her at the start of summer but I'm loving her, but yeah I've had to help a few leaves that have gotten stuck! 🙈
Great video!! I have been looking for good info on PPP’s and why lose their pink. Also on how to propagate it. I finally chopped it up this morning. I think I did ok. Time will tell! But I wish I would have seen this earlier. I don’t think I would have changed anything, but I sure would have been more confident in what I was doing. I really appreciate all of the time you put into making this video!!! Seriously, great work. You gained yourself a new subscriber. And I am happy to watch more of your content. FYI: You just popped up as a suggested video when I googled PPP propagation.
I love the enthusiasm! For me variegated plants are way to stressful amd high maintenance. Luckily i adore green and velvet leafs, that suits me better :)
My partner got me a PPP for Christmas and so far it is growing okay. The first couple leaves after I got it were quite wimpy, but I think I got the hang of caring for it and the next 4 leaves were bigger and better. It’s getting top heavy now, so I’m thinking of chopping and propping 👀 fingers crossed
My pink princess leafs decide to get stuck all the time. It's so frustrating. But the ones in the terrarium do a lot better than the ones I have in my living room. It's a permanent love-hate relationship 😂
I bought a PPP about 5 months ago and the prettiest leave was damaged in shipping and I had to remove it. Well it took a long time to get a new leaf... here it was stuck inside the cataphylls so long that a 2nd leaf was poking out as well! I unstuck it last night... so glad that I watched your video and learned that this is common! Thrips are the worst IMO. Did you get rid of them?
I did but with a lot of patience! And regular updates of good bugs. In summer they always show up again in some numbers, from outside etc. But it's under control most of the time
You have had great successes. My Pink Princess is growing tall. The leaves sometimes look great and before they unfurl, they dry out. It has indirect sun all day and a bit of lamp light. If I move it to the sunny side of the house, how do I deal with the moisture and watering problems? Thanks.
Hi thanks for the great video! I recently bought my sister a pink princess for her bday and grabbed one for myself, too. Mine had two leaves already out of the sheath but still rolled up. One half of each leaf has since unfurled but the other half is staying rolled up. Is this somewhat normal? I really want them to open because one is a beautiful pink half moon 🌙
Yeah they are known to get leaves very stuck. I would spray it regularly, moisture or high humidity helps. And check for pests, thrips can also make new leaves stuck
Mygosh, I really love the painting you have in your greenhouse (your cats with plants), I don't like that pink princess or any kind of philodendron dynasty hehe. So about the theory of more light for more pink, is it the same for white variegations? I just got my monstera variegata and I'm so excited, it was so hard to choose one, I hope I did it right cause a good balance of white and green is key. How can I avoid to loose the variegation or I should not be afraid? thank you ! your videos are the best!
Thank you! Yes they say light *might* influence the amount of variegation. But it's not officially researched so it's all guess work basically. And yes plants can revert (lose variegation) so it's something to keep in mind, but not worry about 😉❤️
They grew well but never consistent pink so I gave up on them. There's ones for sale now that have much more pink! But yeah try it, they're very easy to propagate and very fun!
Is it save to take off thr babies that are growing and pot em up???. I have two growing and i need to repot anyway because id like to stake mine up as its getting really tall. Im tryin to convince myself to docthe big cut to produce more pink, But im not ready yet lol 😂
Yes you can take them off - if they are rooted themselves then it should be easy. If they're not rooted, I would pop them in water first to root. But if you leave them in it will be a nice full pot- I actually prefer to grow Philos with more than one plant so it looks more bushy. Cutting back can help create more pink but no guarantee. You can check the ppp guide by georgialaurette on instagram!
Hey I know this is an old video but if you chopping off all of the pink leaves wouldn’t that discourage the plant from continuing to produce them? I heard you should cut off the non pink leaves
Hello! Chopping off leaves will not do anything, you have to chop the stem to make it respond. Cutting back to a growth point in the stem with some variegation on it is the best chance if your plant is not showing much variegation anymore.
I feel like Pink Princesses will throw out a beautiful pink leaf then the next one, no pink. Currently what I’m dealing with lol. I heard that the lighting won’t effect the pink because it’s in the genes, but who knows lol. Mine still gets prime sunlight in the window
I'm not propagating mine it still has pink in it . But if it does I'm just letting it grow . I keep mine on my porch. I'd rather just give it more light.

Very thorough video about where to cut, propagation, light, rooting medium, & pink leaves!! thanks 😊
Great to hear thank you!
You put so much work into your video's, I'm really impressed by that. Love it! Great job!
You have so much patience propagating you ppp! I just bought my first one and I am excited/ nervous of how the journey will go. Thanks for the video it was very helpful
Haha yeah plants definitely taught me patience 😅🙏🏻 thank you!

Could be! Interesting, thank you
I had mine in a Pot with no Drainage hole and the upper leaf went brown. I Made a cutting of a healty part, hope I can safe her.
Oops! If there was a healthy node or two I'm sure you can bring her back, good luck!
Great video, congratulations on the excellent results.
Thank you!

I thoroughly enjoyed this video and found it super informative. Thank you for sharing!
Nice video, just started propagating my Pink Princess Philodendrons.
Yes pls do more of these type of videos.
Great video!! I have been looking for good info on PPP’s and why lose their pink. Also on how to propagate it. I finally chopped it up this morning. I think I did ok. Time will tell!

Thank you, that's awesome to hear. Hope you get some beautiful pink on your ppps! And welcome ❤️
Love this style video 👍 thanks for taking the time to film it 🙂
I love these! So informative! Pls continue.
Really the best video I’ve seen in a while! It was very informative. Thank you!
ty for showing me the way to cut a pink princess and where to cut god bless you i can cut my ppp now finally
I love the enthusiasm! For me variegated plants are way to stressful amd high maintenance. Luckily i adore green and velvet leafs, that suits me better :)

It’s getting top heavy now, so I’m thinking of chopping and propping 👀 fingers crossed
That's so sweet!! I hope you have fun ✂️😅
I’m Not feeling those ppp. They beautiful but they stress me out trying to maintain the pink leaves.
I totally get that! And without pink they're a bit boring 🤭😅❤️
My pink princess leafs decide to get stuck all the time. It's so frustrating. But the ones in the terrarium do a lot better than the ones I have in my living room. It's a permanent love-hate relationship 😂
Love this video. My PPP is putting out all green leaves and had been contemplating cutting her back… I think I will now!!
Great video! I have been contemplating cutting mine but the internodal spacing is so small that I’m afraid
I bought a PPP about 5 months ago and the prettiest leave was damaged in shipping and I had to remove it. Well it took a long time to get a new leaf... here it was stuck inside the cataphylls so long that a 2nd leaf was poking out as well!

I did but with a lot of patience! And regular updates of good bugs. In summer they always show up again in some numbers, from outside etc. But it's under control most of the time
Such beautiful plants ❤️❤️❤️. Definitely a wish list plant for me. They are very $$$ to buy in Canada.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us! Are you using a lamina flow hood or an aquarium?
Thank you! I don't know what that means, lamina flow hood?
You have had great successes. My Pink Princess is growing tall. The leaves sometimes look great and before they unfurl, they dry out. It has indirect sun all day and a bit of lamp light. If I move it to the sunny side of the house, how do I deal with the moisture and watering problems? Thanks.
Yeah that's a challenge.. But I have one growing in my greenhouse now where its in full sun so it's possible
I just purchased my first one, keeping fingers cross.
👌🏻❤️
how’s your PPP doing?? i hope it’s thriving! 🪴
Hi thanks for the great video! I recently bought my sister a pink princess for her bday and grabbed one for myself, too.
Mine had two leaves already out of the sheath but still rolled up. One half of each leaf has since unfurled but the other half is staying rolled up. Is this somewhat normal?

Yeah they are known to get leaves very stuck. I would spray it regularly, moisture or high humidity helps. And check for pests, thrips can also make new leaves stuck
I had to help my stuck leaf today! 🍃 I'm so scared to cut my pink princess to propagate
I love your pink princess. Mine is totally dark green and no pink variegation at all. Have you any advice on how to get the pink variegation? Thanks
I talk about this in the video
More light for higher pink variegation
It’s so beautiful , pin princess propagation, are you selling them or do you have small one for sale? Thanks 🙏 John
Hey this is a very old video! So I don't have them anymore
@@plantwithroos it’s okay 👍 thank you so much 😊

How are your pink princess propagations now? Did you keep them? Fixing to propagate mine. Thanks for the advice!
They grew well but never consistent pink so I gave up on them. There's ones for sale now that have much more pink! But yeah try it, they're very easy to propagate and very fun!
Hi I have a question? how long did you callus your cuttings?
Between 15 minutes and a few hours, depending on how much time I have
Is it save to take off thr babies that are growing and pot em up???. I have two growing and i need to repot anyway because id like to stake mine up as its getting really tall. Im tryin to convince myself to docthe big cut to produce more pink, But im not ready yet lol 😂

Do you put water in the perilite ?
Yes I do water them but not leaving a lot at the bottom
How long would you let the cut ends on the Pink Princess dry before putting in water or perlite?
However long I have 🤭 generally you can see the cut has dried up! A few hours should do it. But if you don't have time for that, shorter is fine too
Love that cat picture
Thank you very much!
i love these videos!
Is a 4" pot a good size for the Pink Princess?
That's not a question I can answer. It completely depends on the size of the plant, the roots etc
Hey I know this is an old video but if you chopping off all of the pink leaves wouldn’t that discourage the plant from continuing to produce them? I heard you should cut off the non pink leaves
Hello! Chopping off leaves will not do anything, you have to chop the stem to make it respond. Cutting back to a growth point in the stem with some variegation on it is the best chance if your plant is not showing much variegation anymore.
I love your channel I just got a pink princess they are beautiful
Thank you! That's awesome, they are really cool
How long should I let a cutting dry out immediately after cutting?
Until it looks dry! A couple of hours probably. Tho I don't always wait cos I'm impatient 😅❤️
I feel like Pink Princesses will throw out a beautiful pink leaf then the next one, no pink. Currently what I’m dealing with lol. I heard that the lighting won’t effect the pink because it’s in the genes, but who knows lol. Mine still gets prime sunlight in the window
I'm not propagating mine it still has pink in it . But if it does I'm just letting it grow . I keep mine on my porch. I'd rather just give it more light.
That's awesome!
Very good effort mam...but onething that understand propagation mam uses perlite plseconfo. Tqu
? I don't know what you're asking
Life is short. Buy the plant.
Life is short so do what you love? Which for me is propagate and make videos
Would you like to sell one of the Pink Princess let me know? Jodie B.
Please message me on instagram, I'm selling aroids tomorrow!
👍👍👍👍💙💚
Thank you very much!
💚💚💗
Polonia Ula Z ŁODZI love 😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤Polonia Ula ok.
Are u selling pik princess cutting mam
No this is a very old video, I don't own it anymore and you can buy these in the garden center now for a few bucks! At least here in Europe
They are beautiful, but what a pain in the ....neck.
Hahaha yes absolutely!
Me encantaría un ganchito
What does that mean?!
Pink Princess is a controversial plant. The developers used a chemical to create the pink. Eventually the plant will no longer have pink at all.
Nope that's pink congo! Close in name but not the same plant.
That's Pink Congo, Pink Princess is Legit.
