By the way, the Plant Snatchin thread is something else! What is WRONG with everyone????? Yer OK in my book!...See MorePink Princess Philodendren....How To Get Best Color????
Comments (110)@PoohBearLvr I know this is older, but I know RXACTLY what you’re referring to & it’s definitely not the same as reverting. I think you nailed it w the light thing, as odd as it sounds!?! I had heard comments about (ideal conditions), but hadn’t experienced issues w mine~they’re in custom soil, love humidity in SC apr-oct & rotate light in winter, get Liquidirt w every watering (which resulted in lots of growth all last winter), but my 3 wound up split up by happenstance. My favorite, one that is black & hot pink marbled on every leaf was repotted first this year, & back to shelf in front of bay window w am south sun. The other 2 were moved under the crepe myrtle w others for repotting or living all summer. Got busy before my daughter’s wedding so hadn’t gotten to them when a hail storm happened, so a handful of plants most harmed by damage were rushed into the garage, where the door often stays open & the first 2 feet start to get east sun around noon until sunset. One went further back while the other was among the first line safe from direct sun. Both had a couple of green leaves but most had very nice markings. One kept most of its pink while the other lost all, including a half moon. The new leaves weren’t even the darker burgundy but a more coppery color side note… @Russ1023, I think I’ve read many of your posts on another site~do you have a lot of Aglaonema? Have meant to message you for over a year, but I’m awful w email & avoid to extremes. I think you probably have a LOT more experience & knowledge than me, but I respectfully disagree w the idea that Royal Queen & reverted PPP (often Burgundy Princess) are the same. I am obsessed w dark leaved philos/plants, in particular garnet/burgundy colors, so having spent the last couple of years attempting to track down as many as possible, & RQ near top of my fav list, they’re definitely different plants. I’m confused about RQ’s origins for sure, supposedly listed as Fl but no idea who? You said it’s been around for a long time, but I’ve seen it referred to as “a new hybrid” repeatedly the last maybe 2 years now, & can’t find it now but saw many times in my searches a site that gave a teensy bit of info & called it also “New Red?” Or new red Queen~don’t remember exactly but did search it a little & found numerous overseas places selling as either/or names. Though admittedly, every time I think I’ve figured out & can identify the different dark leaved varieties, something makes me question it or I’ve discovered one not circulating readily these days. So, idk~your position is certainly logical yet I easily see 2 different plants (RQ got much larger leaves much quicker for example) I thought the heat possibly affected my changing ppp as it happened as we hit mid-high 90s daily, & her living in S Fl affirmed…until yours. Central Fl would be the same, so must be the light?!? It’s inside now, so we’ll see~the stem is streaked in hot pink so the genetics are undeniable! Forget now how much light yours was getting, but can’t help but think the daily proximity to direct sun, 80%, mine was experiencing like 80% of daylight hours didn’t bump the temp that much more, & maybe more importantly, all the humidity under that tree was cooked a bit right there, & probably needed water a little more considering. I think obviously genetics are key, but having rescued “reverted ppp” previously to produce consistent color, I’m convinced amount of light (less than many), humidity, temp of course, & nutrients make a difference. You won’t get pink back on the leaves that turned, but the new growth should be back to normal if it’s happy. Haven’t had one get that large yet but have heard they tend to produce less color w size, & cutting back to color is recommended, but I’ve seen pics of mighty specimens still putting out pink~maybe not as often but enough to not chop if size is an interest too. With that said, as I suspected~when travel, ie shipping opened again, so many wanted to import themselves to enjoy lower prices that prices on many things have continued dropping since July~so affordable, or more affordable w decent color, ppp are everywhere! And I’d imagine everyone asking here got theirs by now, but if not…& i didn’t charge more than $75 thru the entirety of last year’s insane pricing! And take pics as I cut to prop so there’s no question what plant it’s actually from....See More'Pink Princess' Philodendrun,....What Is It Worth ??
Comments (6)Well I sold my Pink Princess today. got a great price for it. I think I could have asked even MORE for it and gotten it. The guy that bought it has dozens of this one already, he showed me pics. on his phone of his, but as he said, his are all turning totally pink! No green leaves, so they are dying. No chlorophyll for the plants to live. Same for his Monstera Varigatas! All white leaves. No green. So he wanted a stable Pink Princess. Well he got mine. Had I known how much money he obviously makes, I would have held out for double!! He didnt blink at the $50 price hike I put on it. So....I could have gotten more, but I didnt know. but at least it went with a plant lover. Next is my BIG one. I posted a new post about it, to make cuttings from it...I need rooting advise....See MoreI HAVE Pink Princess Philodendrun Babies Now !!
Comments (36)Do as you wish Chris. There are places in here to ASK for plants, I ask for plants. Gotten 2 in 10 yrs. Yippie! 2 generous people. The rest are ...'go F yourself'. 2 helped me restore my lost hoya collection after a hurricane, not with the rare ones I HAD, but at least I have some nice hoyas after 3 yrs of growing the cuts I got. They were very generous. And a few huernias that have gone now, but a very nice sample of cuts, to help me get a stapelia garden going again, you obviously dont have the giving spirit in you, if I could give away these I would, But they are rare,hard to get, and i am past broke!! It is the only thing I have of worth! I am looking for money to pay bills, to LIVE! Not to get a new stupid smartphone, I have a old prepaid flip phone and will till i die. My internet is paid by family, so I am trying to give a bit back to them, to help pay my bills, till I am gone. It wont be to long. So dont worry about my pestering you for long....See MoreMike the Fiddle Leaf Fig Guy
