Philodendron erubescens 'Pink Princess'

Grown widely as a houseplant, it is especially valued for its bold contrast, upright vining habit, and highly distinctive foliage. Each leaf develops its own marbled pattern, giving the plant a one of a kind appearance as it matures. Its dramatic coloring and collector appeal have made it one of the most recognizable variegated philodendrons in cultivation.
