Philodendron 'White Princess'
This lovely lady produces beautiful patches of pure white on her leaves and pinkish edges on her petioles.Â
Philodendron White Princess is what is known as a 'self-heading' Philodendron variety. This means it has leaves that are spaced so closely on the stem that the stem is not visible until they are much older or until of the lower leaves begin to naturally fall off. This makes it unique from most other philodendrons which are distinctly vine-like.
These varieties make awesome indoor plants due to their abundance of beautiful foliage and stiff stems which allow them to remain upright for a number of years, unlike vining types which require a support to remain upright. They are also extremely good at filtering harmful chemicals from the air like Benzene!
Watering
Wait until the top 2-3cm centimetres of soil in the pot has dried out before watering heavily. Obviously it will take a little longer for the top few centimetres of soil to dry out in winter so be careful not to overwater in the colder months.Â
Position
Bright indirect light and a humid position is great for these guys. For example an East or North facing window in your kitchen. They can handle less light but expect them to lose variegation as they will adapt to lower light levels by increasing the chlorophyll levels in their leaves.
Managing growth
Currently about 30cm tall but may get up to 75cm tall when mature making them a striking feature in the home.
Greeting your Philodendron Imperial Green
These plants are shipped in a 1.5L nursery pot that is wrapped in a calico bag to keep the soil in during transport. They will fit any pot from our Classic Pot Range.

Our special eco packaging
No Plant Stress
Our plant packaging is designed by people know how to keep plants fresh and healthy in transit. Your plants will enjoy a comfortable trip directly from our greenhouse to your door in just a few of days. Your plant will not have to deal with the stress of being bare rooted for transport (how most plants are sent) and you won’t have to deal with the mess and fuss of potting up your new plant when you receive it.
Stability Support
The plastic pot will be wrapped in a calico bag to keep the soil in place, it will then be tied into a specially designed cardboard insert which will keep it stable and upright throughout its journey. The insert will be glued in place on top of your cardboard wrapped ceramic pot to hold it down and your plant up!
No Re-Potting
Your plant will come in its plastic pot which we make sure fits perfectly in whichever ceramic pot you choose. Our packaging has been designed to allow us to send your beautiful ceramic pot along with your plant, fully potted, yep in soil, together in the same box.
Fully Recyclable
The thing that we’re most proud of is that our packaging is fully recyclable and re-useable so you don’t have to feel bad about generating more packaging waste. In fact you should feel awesome because ordering from us, online, will generate way less emissions than if you were to drive to the nursery to buy a plant. The only plastic you get will be the plastic pot that your plant comes in and these can be re-used or recycled.
