WaterWhen the top inch is dry. Don’t let it sit wet.
LightBright indirect is essential — the pink fades to plain green in low light.
CarePrune above a pink-marked node to encourage more variegation; support to climb.

The Pink Princess is the show-off of the shelf, and I’m not ashamed to admit I baby her. Every leaf opens differently — some splashed dramatically with bubblegum pink, some barely marked at all — and chasing that variegation is half the fun. The secret is light: too little and the pink fades to plain green, so she sits in the brightest indirect spot I’ve got.
