Are you in awe of plants with pink leaves? We certainly are. It might just be us, but seriously, they have so much CLASS! If you're looking to elevate your space with a pop of colour, these pink beauts are for you. BONUS: Mother's Day is coming up and these guys make a beautiful plant gift for your fave plant mum (or yourself). 

1. Pink Princess Philodendron (Philodendron erubescens)

The Pink Princess Philodendron is the queen of our pink world. Deep green leaves splashed with bubblegum pink...ummm yes please! There's a few things you need to do to keep this fancy plant alive. 

How to care for your pink philo:

• Light: give this baby bright, indirect light. It will actually keep the pink variegation nice and vibrant. If it's looking a little dull, your plant might be too shaded. If the leaves start to scorch, move it to a place with indirect sun.

• Water: water this plant just like a standard philodendron. That means letting the soil dry out before giving it a good drink with Grow Concentrate. 

• Humidity: these are tropical babes and they love a humid environment. If you're in a dry region (Adelaide, Perth we're looking at you) or you are an aircon/heater bunny, consider a pebble tray or humidifier. But also, if the plant is happy, best to let her be. 

• Fertiliser: use Grow and Support on these baby to keep it healthy and pushing out new leaves all year round. 

2. Caladium ‘Pink Symphony’

If a plant could hang in the Louvre, the caladiums could be that plant! ‘Pink Symphony’ is so gorg; it has delicate, paper-thin leaves painted with pastel pink and green. Such a nice way to soften a space!.

How to care for it:

• Light: Avoid direct sunlight here because it can scorch those soft leaves. You want a nice spot with filtered light. 

• Water: these plants love moist soil, but really don't want to be drowned. Water your caladium once the soil is juuuuuust slightly moist in the top inch of soil. 

• Humidity: these are great in bathrooms and kitchens; a warm spot with a bit of humidity (i.e. from the shower) is great for this stunner. 

• Winter watch outs: Caladiums slow down in winter. You should keep using Grow and Support, but don't expect explosive growth like in spring.

3. Stromanthe Triostar (Stromanthe sanguinea)

This plant is super interesting and unique. We love that the Stromanthe Triostar’s leaves are a striking mix of pink, cream, and green on top. But the kicker is that magenta on the underside of the leave. Have mercyyyy!

How to care for it:

• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can bleach the leaves.

• Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. It prefers filtered water, as tap water can cause leaf browning.

• Humidity: Loves high humidity, so mist it regularly or keep it near a humidifier.

• Fertiliser: avoid chemical fertilisers for this plant. It hate those slow release chemical crystals. Use Support Pellets instead. 

Fun fact: Stromanthe Triostar is a prayer plant, meaning its leaves move throughout the day. Place it somewhere you can enjoy the movement!
