Its glossy, deep burgundy to near-black heart-shaped leaves are dusted with fine pink speckles, like stars in a night sky, and swirled with soft marbled pink streaks. The galaxy flecks and marbling vary from leaf to leaf, so each one carries its own pattern. A climbing aroid that grows larger leaves on a moss pole, it’s a striking, sought-after indoor plant for collectors who love pink variegation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy You’ll Love It ✔️\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e✔️ Galaxy-speckled pink foliage – Fine pink flecks and marbled streaks across dark, glossy leaves create a dramatic, starry pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e✔️ Steady, rewarding climber – Like other erubescens types, it’s adaptable and grows reliably. It produces bigger leaves as it climbs a moss pole, which makes it an easy collector plant to grow on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e✔️ A different take on the Pink Princess – Classic Pink Princess plants show bold pink splashes and half-moons. The Galaxy Marble form has finer speckling and softer marbling, which gives it a more intricate, all-over pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Tips\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e🌞 Light: Bright indirect light is key to keeping the pink speckling and marbling vivid. In lower light, new leaves tend to come through darker with less pink. Avoid direct sun, which can burn the pink sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e💧 Water: Water when the top few centimetres of mix begin to dry. Keep it lightly moist but never waterlogged, as it is prone to root rot if overwatered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e💦 Humidity: It copes with average household humidity and does best at around 60% or higher. A humidifier helps new leaves unfurl cleanly and protects the delicate pink areas from crisping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e🌡 Temperature: 18–29°C is ideal. Keep it above 15°C and away from cold draughts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e🌱 Soil: Use a well-draining, airy mix of coco coir, coco chip \u0026amp; perlite to keep the roots healthy and oxygenated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e🪴 Support: A moss pole or plank is recommended. Climbing encourages larger leaves and keeps growth upright and tidy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e🌿 Fertiliser: Controlled-release fertiliser is already added to the potting mix. During spring and summer, add a balanced liquid fertiliser at half strength every few weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e🚫 Toxicity: Toxic to pets and people if chewed or eaten. Like other philodendrons, it contains calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth and throat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlso known as:\u003c\/strong\u003e Philodendron ‘Pink Princess Galaxy’, Philodendron ‘Pink Princess Marble’, Pink Princess Philodendron\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA starry pink showpiece for collectors who love a little sparkle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA note on variegation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pink variegation is natural and unstable, so each leaf can look quite different. New leaves may show more or less pink than older ones, and occasionally the plant produces mostly dark leaves. Leaves that are almost entirely pink can’t photosynthesise well and may brown over time. This is normal for variegated plants and isn’t a sign of poor health. Bright indirect light gives the best chance of balanced pink variegation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eDisclaimer:\u003c\/b\u003e Please note that while this plant has been individually photographed, natural changes may occur between the time of photography and when it reaches you. Factors such as new growth, seasonal variation, and environmental conditions can influence colour, size, and shape. The photos serve as an accurate guide to how the plant looked at the time of the photo, but some differences are to be expected as each living plant continues to grow and change.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Uprooted","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47057191141611,"sku":"HANDPICKED-#137","price":65.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/1455\/8287\/files\/handpicked-137-uprooted.jpg?v=1794177891","url":"https:\/\/www.uprooted.com.au\/products\/handpicked-137","provider":"Uprooted","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
