So, I have been absolutely obsessed with pink houseplants lately. Like, obsessed. There’s something about those soft, blush-colored leaves that just makes me so happy!
I’ve been building a little wishlist (saving pins to a Pinterest board😉) of my must-have pink beauties, and I figured, why not share it with y’all? There are way more pink houseplants out there than I knew. In this post I listed some of my top ones that are on my personal wishlist, and some of their care tips that I have looked up. Let’s get into it!
1. Pink Variegated String of Hearts
Starting strong with the Pink Variegated String of Hearts. If you’ve never seen one, picture little heart-shaped leaves with the cutest pink, purple, and green hues trailing down in a delicate vine. It’s like a romantic vine out of a fairy garden.
Care Tips:
-Light: Bright, indirect sunlight; can tolerate some direct sun.
– Water: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings; water every 2-3 weeks. It is a succulent so it doesn’t need as much water.
– Humidity: Prefers moderate humidity but can adapt to lower levels.
– Soil: Well-draining potting mix; consider a cactus or succulent mix.
2. Pink Princess Philodendron
Let’s talk about the Pink Princess Philodendron—the queen of pink plants. Those glossy dark green leaves splashed with pink. It’s the kind of plant you look at and just know it’s going to be the highlight of your plant collection.
Care Tips:
– Light: Bright indirect light; too much direct sun can scorch the leaves.
– Water: Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy; water when the top inch feels dry.
– Humidity: Prefers high humidity as it is a tropical houseplant.
– Soil: Super well-draining potting mix, rich in organic matter.
3. Pink Symphony Caladium
Okay, this one is a work of art. The Pink Symphony Caladium has the most stunning pink and white leaves that look like they were hand-painted. She’s got tropical vibes and is statement plant for sure.
Keeping Her Thriving:
– Light: Bright, indirect light but she can also thrive in partial shade.
– Water: Keep the soil consistently moist, check it regularly, especially in warm weather.
– Humidity: Likes higher humidity. Consider misting or using a pebble tray.
– Soil: Well-draining potting mix enriched with organic matter.
4. Pink Lady Peperomia
Last but definitely not least, let’s talk about the Pink Lady Peperomia. She’s a cute little plant with little leaves edged in pink and cream. This plant is super low-maintenance and is perfect for smaller spaces—like on your desk or your bookshelf.
Care Instructions:
– Light: Bright, indirect light; can tolerate low light but won’t grow as much.
– Water: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry; typically every 1-2 weeks.
– Humidity: Prefers moderate humidity but will adapt to average home conditions.
– Soil: Well-draining potting mix; a regular houseplant mix works well.
