Product description
Philodendron Golden Princess is an indoor plant with lush, dark green leaves and sturdy stems. Each leaf will grow in a vertical manner before drooping at their peak, emphasising their large size, despite being a small baby plant!
This rather rare variety of houseplant is a pleasure to grow and is ideal for a beginner plant lover looking to embark on their first experience of growing. In terms of light level, this plant will do best in a bright space with indirect sun.
As long as it receives enough light as time goes on, as well as weekly watering, this plant will thrive. Aim to keep it away from the window so sunlight can't have an instant impact on its leaves. It is also important to keep the soil well-drained.
Growing your Philodendron from its baby stage into a mature, healthy plant is all part of the journey that brings joy to all levels of plant enthusiasts up and down the country.
It’s not unusual to give your plant a name… so don’t hesitate to choose one that you think suits the plant! Try naming your plant with the first name or word that you think of when you look at it - that’s how we ended up with an orchid named Clover and spider plant called Joseph.

House Plant Size Guide
House plants come in a wide array of shapes and sizes depending on the variety and maturity of the plant.
6cm/12cm/15cm/19cm/23cm nursery pots are the most common size of pot that they are sold in. This measurement is the diameter at the top of the pot.
12cm potted plants are the most popular providing great value for money and an instant impact. Larger plants that come in pots of 20cm+ are great for making a statement in any room and can represent years of growth to get to that level of maturity and size.

Top Tip
Philodendrons thrive in humid conditions, making them an excellent choice for kitchens or bathrooms. Increase humidity with a pebble tray or regular misting, especially in dry environments. To keep your plant bushy and full, pinch back any leggy growth. With minimal care, a Philodendron will bring lush greenery to your home and purify the air effectively.
How to Water
Water Philodendron when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. During the growing season, water every 1–2 weeks, reducing frequency in winter when growth slows. Ensure the pot drains well to prevent waterlogging, which can cause root rot. Avoid letting the plant sit in water, and wipe any excess water from the saucer to maintain a healthy root system.
How to Plant
To plant Philodendron, choose a pot with drainage holes and use a rich, well-draining potting mix, such as one designed for houseplants or containing peat and perlite. Gently remove the plant from its container, loosen the roots, and place it in the new pot, ensuring the top of the root ball sits slightly below the pot’s rim. Fill in with soil, firm gently, and water lightly to settle the soil. Position the plant in a spot with bright, indirect light, avoiding direct sunlight that may scorch its leaves.
