Philodendron Pink Princess - Getting back variegation via propagation
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- In this video I show you the best way to get back pink variegation since these little buggers love to revert to all green leaves. (Spoiler: propagation is the way to increase chances of variegation).
I experienced a huge setback/failure during propagation and lost most of the cuttings from overwatering (I blame the rainy season but I should have known better to keep them indoors. But the good news is, I managed to get some variegation! Yaye!
I will continue propagating this plant until I find the one that will give me the most pink! As should you if you are experiencing the same problem of reverted pink princess!

When you said everybody died.... I laughed hard... I'm sorry I shouldn't be laughing at your loss but it was so unexpected and honest and cute.
Haha I was laughing too. I find the humor in everything. 🤓
I love videos when it shows the progress over the next months, so we can see the real results! Also I always learn something new from you :D
Thank you 😌
Spoiler alert.
"What happened to everybody"
"well, everybody died"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You are my all time fav plantuber🙈
I’m laughing so hard 🤣
@@you_r_my-world2288 how can't you not too🤣🤣🤣
🙈🙈🙈
Love the honesty and love that you show updates in the same video. It is still a fairly successful propagation .👍
"You're probably unsubscribing right now." - 😅🤣😂 . Even if ALL your plants lose their variegations one day, that statement WILL KEEP PEOPLE SUBSCRIBED, that's for sure. You're the one of the most naturally funny guys online. You make lonely and depressed me laugh at the most unexpected moments. I watch you for plant growing info but your blabber really, seriously, helps me heal from my emotional trauma. Love you lots Shaun!!!
😀😀😀 virtual hugss
I’m a new subscriber, and just wanted to thank you for sharing your fails along with your successes! It makes us plant newbies feel so much better when all of our props rot and die.
Love your channel, I have been learning so much from you and you have such a kind, calm personality ❤
Thank you ❤️❤️
It's the 'my dad is always on the phone, yelling at people' for me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😅😅 he is though. Its an asian thing.
That's so sad for the loss of few... but an experience gained... completely worth it...nice piece of experiment👍
I learnt way more than if I had succeeded. More ppp propagations to be made in the future!
Thank you for showing a 9 week update and for being transparent with us! I always overthink what my cuttings will do, and I appreciate you explaining your losses.
I discovered the "bleeding" by accident too and was really fascinated/freaked out by it. Some tropicals are really so weird, I love it.
i gotta say the bird sound is very relaxing 😌
Omg…I would never drop this channel. I think you did great! I want one!
Thank you 🥰
Thank you Sean for sharing your experience, don't beat your self up, you did great, we do learn by error...thank you for your videos. Inspire me a lot, I always taking notes from them. Cheers
I love how honest u r and I totally agree the description about ppp being super unstable
"Staring a little too long at a bleeding plant...awkward." Thanks for the laugh.
Hilarious!
Sean! Found you randomly while I was researching how to propogate polkadot begonia (begonia maculata), loved your presentation style and your mannerisms, subscribed immediately! Now you keep popping up when I search for videos about new plants, I'm a big fan 😍
Thank youu 🥰🥰
I got my PP today! Thanks for all your great videos. They’re so helpful.
😀🙌🏽
"Staring a little too long at a bleeding plant...awkward"...HA HA HA! Your too cute!!! And I do agree with the randomness of the Pink Princesses and the their ease of reverting is the downside of owning one. I had one with phenomenal variegation and I sold it thinking I could get another one...and now with the size and variegation of the one I sold it would be cost at least $1000 for one like it. Looks like I won't be get another one like the one I had. I kick myself up to this day for selling it! Great results...and sorry to hear about your losses it is the unfortunate facts of plant life. I just did a major hack job on 2 of my huge reverted pink princesses in hopes of getting some variegated babies. I am keeping my fingers crossed. Hoping you are well and wishing you the best! HAPPY GROWING!
I’ve seen a variegated PPP start to kickass with variegation all of a sudden. I guess we just keep on propagating it till we find the right one!
I just chopped mine into three pieces. Rooting in moss and they are growing beautifully. Just now putting out new leaves.🤞hope for pink on them.PS: They are very prone to root rot. So happy for your pink variegation .💚✌🏻🌿🍃🌱🌵
Yeah I have a feeling moss and kept away from rain may have been the better way to propagate these (and many others)
Wow u are sooo lucky because of the environment u live in. I struggle daily with keeping up my humidity here in Canada. So jealous! Lol
These guys dont need as much humidity as most people think. But I can imagine the indoors humidity would be scary in wintertime due to heaters!
Nice plants .I like Phil offense on pink.thank for sharing.happy holiday.🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Hello Sean, thanks for sharing the tips for taking care of plants, I am learning.
Yey! Beautiful pink variegations! Striking pink splashes are so damn gorgeous!
Thank you for letting us learn from your experiences
Love your videos and you’re hilarious without even trying! I cackled at “staring at a bleeding plant for too long... awkward” 🤣🤣🤣 I would’ve done the same bc it’s fascinating!
😅😅 good to know Im not crazy! Haha
That was like watching the first season of star-crossed loving it and finding out there wasn't a second season.
Haha. These cuttings have grown big by the way. But no pinks. I will propagate them into about 20 plants soon
Love your video!! It was SO helpful!! Im going to try it and let you know how it works out. You gave me such hope!! Thank you!!
😀😀
One local florist I'm familiar with has an older pink princess, not for sale. Has very colourful leaves, greens are actually the minority on her. Been that way for years now. The plant is not well-sunlit at all, but is surrounded by a lot of artificial lights. Not even grow lights, just a banal selection of phosphorescent tubes. Perhaps that's the thing that helps them grow pinks? Unnatural environment. Maybe?
Oooo that is an interesting theory...
Thank you for being transparent! Nothing is fail proof and I'm glad you showed what happened. Also I love that you waited until time passed and continued to film all for the one video, instead of a short quick video uploaded now!
Recently i got mine pink princess and just try to propogate them so here your video always helpful 👍👍👍
You're great and sooooo funny.. makes my day 😊
😅😅
I don't know how i got here, but its about the plant that i want with all my heart, but its very expensive! Thank you fotr the great video, all in one yay! Good luck with your princess and sorry for the loss of everybody else. Lol, new suscriber:)
Welcome to the channel 🤓🙌🏻
I think it was a success...you got a new variegation and two new (🤞) pink princesses
Thank youu. Cant wait to propagate these some more haha Im addicted to the rush.
Love the birds in the background 💕🐝
love this plants. i have so small one. wish i could propagate them one day
May I request a series of videos on your pots, decor items next to your plants like drift wood, bells, mini statues, etc... they really are so pretty. Even your terra-cotta pots look so unique.
Thank you I want to do more styling videos but want to nail down the basic care first. Stay tuned!
I love the sleepy-not-fully-awake-staring-at-bleeding-plant-killing-the-mutilated-princesses vibe 😆
Thankyou for showing the result in the same video.
Oh what a beautiful plant🥰 someday I’ll buy it too
Loved this video and your humor! Would love to see another update on your PPP's :)
yes! I'm really curious how are they doing!
😂😂 U made my day so cute and funny 🤗😀 I bought also a cutting im glad to see the varigation maybe comes back after cutting 😊
Thanks for your honesty! I hope you’ll see the results you want eventually.
Thank you 🤓
I can't afford a pink princess but one of my philodendron brazil, started to revert to all green....so I cut off the stem and have propagated it. If you look closely at other
stems, you can see both yellow and green...this is a good indicator of how much variegation a plant has and the leaves carry some of this as they uncurl. So if I did buy a pink princess, I'd check the stems closely. ( Although I've never seen one up close).
The stem on the pink princess is mostly maroon on mine , maybe this is a sign of faded variegation. But ive seen people post pink princesses with 10+ green leaves and finally a variegated one... this shows how random the variegations are. Brazils respond well to light and will give insane variegation with direct sunlight.
@@onlyplantsAgree. I think the variegation must be hard to decipher on the pink princess. Its really just pure luck in the end. Thanks for replying. Namaste.
Hey Sean, I saw pink princesses in my plant store last Sunday and i was thinking about getting one since they were affordable. But you just convinced me not too... since what everyone says is that variegation is so unstable. Think I'll go looking for a prince (of orange) instead of a finicky princess :) (By the way, I picked up this cool pseudoeranthemum, which is killer if you like pink purplish variegation and it's stable)
Thank you for the info about ppp. 😊🙏
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. After seeing the negative results of the cuttings and the lack of variegation plus your advised I have decided not to pay the high price this Princes demands. I can get beautiful color from my begonias. Your information is high quality, why will I unsubscribe?
Haha thank youuu
Exactly the same what happened to my Pink Princess
Him staring at the blood from the stem tbh that’s me too 😂 also love the channel name haha!
Haha thank you 🙈
the plants tool healthy though! You really take good care of your plants Sean :)
Thank youuu
My favorite Philo..
Oooh woooow.... Sean, I love your ppp how I wish to have one in the future but I think it’s impossible.
I love those face terra cotta planters by the way.
Thank you 😌😌
Ah, thank you. Now I know what to do with the left-over moss I have. Also, my Pink Princess needs help. Do their roots go more down or out, under the soil? Thanks
Usually down 😊
Dad on the phone yelling at people sounds like my neighbor lol hi handsome
😅
what happened to everybody?
well.. everybody died
is the plot to your favorite netflix series
Horror show haha
Thank u for the info I wish I have that 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 watching from Phillipines
Hello hope you guys are doing alright in the Philipines 🙌🏻
@@onlyplants thank you soon Phillipines will rise again.
Nice bro
They naturally want to revert! I figured this out with 4 of my 3.5-4 ft ppp’s. I had to completely chop them. Brought the pink back. The burgundy leaves are nice though. Maybe the cutting will grow pink after all. 🤷🏻♂️
Once they revert its really hard to get back variegation 🥲
@@onlyplants ugh I know! I was really digging the big leaves but I had to chop all the way down to the last variegated leaf which was the bottom for one of them. 🥹
Mine is arriving tmr. Yay!
Give it a morning sun.. Pink will appear
I heard tht there are people in Indonesia actually did ‘lab made variegation’ plants. Well of coz this kind of method wont last long and will went off over time. To avoid been con, some expert say you may examine the stem of the plant to tell weather it is a real variegated plants or not.
You can tell if its fake/chemically induced because the variegation will be way too bright in color and usually it cover the whole leaf.
Where is the growth point? How can I make sure there will be new growth with a single leaf cutting?
The new growth point is almost always hidden where the petiole meets the main stem. I found that out much later 😀 theres an episode with philodendron white knight coming this week or next that addresses this question with visuals 😀
@@onlyplants This is great! Looking forward to the new video!
Is there a difference between pink and white princesses or are they one and the same?
I have a feeling the white princess puts out white variegation?
Hi Sean, some people said if variegated plants "too happy" (such as fertilized regularly, etc), the plants will lose its variegation. So you have to make your plants a bit "suffer" to maintain the variegation.
Based on your experience, what do you think bout that theory? Is it true?
That doesnt seem to be true. For most species more light = more variegation and less light = reversion. The easiest way to see these is in epipremum or pothos.
hello! How do I make the leaves come out more pink? any tips?
They need good light to encourage variegation, also dont fertilize with high nitrogen ratio fertilizer. Lastly, it has to do with luck too
I just chopped up my PPP to get more pink. Then she shot out a beautiful burgundy leaf that I am obsessed with. If she keeps giving me dark leaves I won't mind not getting any pink.
Haha she is full if susprises!
Great experiment and thank you for showcasing your efforts. Like you, I do not recommend these plants to people. I feel they are over rated and over priced for what they are. I had one, propped it twice, and tossed them all away. Not even worth reselling, imo!
Hi thank you for the video, do you have the title of the video where you wrap the moss? My plant has a lot of leaves and is dropping a lot because of the weight. It would be great to know what type of moss you buy and how to wrap it. Also would you advise supporting this plant on a stick?
99% philodendrons require a pole to climb on. For that air layering video so check out the melanochrysum one 😀
Amazing! what media did you use for them?
My aroid potting mix 🙌🏻
been trying to get pink princess for the longest time. quite pricey too so im gonna study more before I to get one. great vid, i learnt a lot👍
The variegations are very unstable so you have to be patient and/or lucky. Cuttings with variegations may not give you variegated leaves.
@@onlyplants yeah. ive experienced variegations incidents dissapearing and some suddenly formed from regular ones. plants r so mysterious n exciting thing😅
I need to do this but I'm terrified
Try with a cheaper philodendron first
You are so hilarious 🤣
😅😅
Nice verses from the Bible :))
I have a tall pink princess, If I cut the top to propagate it will it continue to grow at the top from spot I cut the stem?
It will grow from the next available node right below where you cut it. Sometimes they put out 2 new vines if they are a happy plant
Thank you so much for responding. I will definitely give it a shot. 😊
hi! Sean i am new to your channel but really love it so much... i want to ask you what is the difference between a pink philo erubescens and pink princess .... they look exactly the same or is it just a different variety ?
I believe the erubescens is the non variegated version of pink princess
Thank You so much , Sean ... Keep sharing your wisdom about plants 💕💕💕
Philodendron Erubescens is the real name for Pink Princess…
How much is it in Indonesia? We can get ard at RM200/baby plant here.
It ranges from 1,500,000 idr to 3,000,000 here
@@onlyplants slightly higher. Probably cuz I got it from Shopee so the price is a little bit competitive here n I picked the cheapest among the shops. Haha.
great video, PPP is basically flash in a pan...soon to be over, the most overrated plant there is.
just to let you know, these plants can varigate back to green if you provide too much light lol.
Whoaa thats new to me. They can certainly get bleached out if too much light
i do struggle alot of it
All the leaves of my princess fell..pls tell me how to revive it back
Did you overwater it? If the roots are healthy new leaves should push out. each node also have a potential to push out a whole new branch - as long as the roots or stem is not rotten or dried off completely
@@onlyplants actually i went on a vacation for about 20days and when i came back all the leaf fell off but the roots are ok,not rotten. So i wanted to ask if i sud keep the roots moist now or sud avoid overwatering cos i donot want to kill it. 😃
Also should i keep it in sunny place or indirect light?
subbed!
Welcome to the channel! 🙌🏻
I can’t find the update video
Its at the end of the same episode 😀
👍🙏😭
aku lagi pengen beli pink princess juga,tp takut ga pink..kalo pink nya ilang,di potong lagi,pink ilang,dipotong lagi heheheheh..hhhmmmm
Iya skrg ada brp pink keluar sih karena udah cincang sampe 30 pots. Pusing yang ga pink mau di apaiin
ya ampun ampe 30 pots....
Shit I'm 5 minutes late
🙈
The growers know they are a dud princess. Lol
First 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😅💖
Philodendron pink princess is overrated 🗿
what haha
🙈
You make videos that inspire me to slow down, and remind myself to observe life and my plants with a positive attitude 🤗 thank you!
😌🙏🏽
I would never unsubscribe!!!! I love learning from you. Most utube channels are becoming a shopping channel I want to learn so my plants can be as beautiful as yours. Thank you for sharing.
Thank youuu 😅
Agree 👍

Pretty good time for filming with lots of sweet chirping in the background.
The most overrated plant 🙃
And after 9 weeks i am just looking where were the all pots gone, 😁
Why do dads always yell on the phone? hahaha I agree more light does not equal more variegation in my opinion either.
Ok! Will cut mine on Sunday!
Mine was burgundy and I’ve cut it to pieces. All are growing but now with green leaves without any varigation. Even though I had one leaf with a little pink before. But okay I still like the green more than the burgundy. I wouldn’t buy a new ppp though. Too much work and kind of lottery success I guess 😅
Haha its easier to start from a nicely variegated one. I actually managed to get a few pink plants out of this batch but sold them all. chance is less than 5%
Omg I’m so so thankful, plants rates are way cheap in India 😭
I liked the video, you are very open and funny. Thanks for sharing experience!
Thank youu
Oh yay, the t- shirt is back with a short video... what?!!!! under 20/15mins... 11mins!!!! ;) wahahahahaa dont worry - I think this will make you GAIN more views as it is OKAY to fail. for the best of us - we live n learn. in this crazy 'winter' asia weather - i fear for my indoors plants too. they NEED light and I am worried as they all seems a bit more droopy as well!
Yes, water propagation totally 100% safe bet! I got cocky too, sharing my scindapsus silver ann with friends ... now, my mother plant had root rot :( :( :( luckily I get some on water propagation which means I still have some cutting from mother plant! phew! we are all humans! * Loving those face terracotta planters behind! love them!!!!
Thank youu, hope you can get the cutting to root. If not your friends can send you back some cutting haha 😅
