Deep‑Burgundy Philodendron 'Burgundy Princess' with Occasional Pink Variegation

Leaves are a deep wine‑to‑burgundy on the upper surface with a glossy finish, producing a dark, dramatic block of colour in a room. Leaf blades are broadly heart‑ to arrow‑shaped, often with reddish tones on new petioles and new growth; some specimens show faint pink patches or splashes but mature leaves remain entire (no splits or holes). The overall silhouette is compact and head‑forming rather than trailing.

This is a self‑heading, upright selection of Philodendron erubescens — it does not naturally climb like some philodendrons. Juvenile leaves tend to be smaller and darker; with age and stronger indirect light the plant fills out and produces larger, glossier leaves. Variegation, when it appears, is usually surface‑level and can be intermittent rather than stable across every new leaf.

In everyday ownership expect the same moderate attention as other P. erubescens: bright indirect light helps keep the burgundy tones rich and good drainage reduces root‑rot risk. Be aware of one trade‑off: pink variegation is not guaranteed and many retail plants show low or unstable variegation (reversion to fully burgundy/green is common). Also note this cultivar is not pet‑safe and should be kept out of reach.

Best for apartments, shelves or darker foliage contrasts in mixed displays, it’s offered as a medium (P12) potted plant for a compact, ready‑to‑place head of leaves; larger specimens in time will develop noticeably bigger leaves. This is a selected retail cultivar with recent trade history — prized by some for its deep colour, while collectors seeking stable pink variegation may prefer authenticated 'Pink Princess' stock.

Plant questions, answered

How does Philodendron 'Burgundy Princess' differ from Philodendron 'Pink Princess'?

Philodendron 'Burgundy Princess' is selected for predominantly deep burgundy (wine) mature leaves rather than the prominent, stable pink surface variegation that defines Philodendron 'Pink Princess'. Burgundy Princess may show occasional pale pink patches and is sometimes trade-applied to reverted or low‑variegation Pink Princess material; collectors seeking reliable pink should prefer authenticated Pink Princess stock.

Will my 'Burgundy Princess' reliably show pink variegation?

No—pink variegation is not guaranteed. Some plants show occasional or minimal pink patches, but variegation is often absent or unstable and plants can revert to fully burgundy/green leaves. If a persistent pink pattern is essential, choose authenticated Philodendron 'Pink Princess' rather than expecting consistent pink on Burgundy Princess retail stock.

What light and humidity will keep the leaves a strong burgundy colour?

Bright, indirect light encourages stronger burgundy colouring; higher indirect light typically deepens the wine tones. Avoid prolonged direct sun to prevent leaf scorch. Philodendron 'Burgundy Princess' prefers moderate to high indoor humidity (roughly 50–70%); higher humidity and bright filtered light help develop larger, glossier leaves.

Does this cultivar need a support pole or will it stay compact?

Usually sold as a self-heading, upright Philodendron erubescens — no moss pole is required. The cultivar typically remains compact and upright in retail form, though stems can become leggy with low light; you may add vertical support if legginess appears. It propagates readily from stem cuttings with at least one node.

Is Philodendron 'Burgundy Princess' safe around pets and children?

No — not pet-safe. Philodendron 'Burgundy Princess' contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals (raphides) common to Philodendron species; ingestion can cause oral irritation, drooling, swelling and vomiting in pets and humans. Keep the plant out of reach and place it where children and animals cannot nibble on the foliage.

Plant care guide

Light
Bright, indirect light encourages stronger leaf colour; avoid prolonged direct sun which can scorch leaves. The plant will tolerate lower light but colour tends to be less intense.

Water
Allow the top ~2–3 cm of potting mix to dry before watering. Avoid constant waterlogging; ensure a free‑draining pot and medium to reduce root‑rot risk.

Soil and repotting
Use a well‑draining, aerated potting mix rich in organic matter (mix with perlite or orchid bark to improve drainage and aeration). Repot every 1–2 years or when rootbound.

Humidity and temperature
Prefers moderate to high indoor humidity (roughly 50–70%); benefits from higher humidity in dry indoor environments. Maintain temperatures broadly in a typical indoor range (approximately 18°C–27°C for best growth).

Feeding
Feed monthly with a balanced liquid fertiliser during the active growing season (spring–summer). Reduce or stop feeding in autumn and winter.

Growth and support
Self‑heading / upright cultivar (sold compact). No moss pole required; if stems become leggy you may provide vertical support. Can be propagated from stem cuttings with at least one node (root in water or moist substrate).

Common concerns

Main issues: overwatering leading to root rot (ensure good drainage), pests such as spider mites, aphids and mealybugs (inspect regularly), and instability or loss of any pink variegation (reversion is common; many retail plants show minimal or no pink).

Pet safety
Not pet‑safe. Contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals (raphides) common to Philodendron spp.; ingestion causes oral irritation, drooling, swelling and vomiting—keep out of reach of children and animals.
