The Philodendron White Princess is extremely difficult to grow, which means that it is always very limited in availability. Just like with other variegated plants, the Philodendron White Princess also needs some extra love. The variegated parts of the leaf do not contain cholorphyll. Chlorophyll is the green leaf dye that plants use to capture light and convert it into chemical energy. That energy is used for photosynthesis. Because this Philodendron has variegated leaves, it produces less energy.
The White Princess Philodendron hybrid plant are very similar in appearance to the white knight philodendron. The difference in which is identifiable by the coloration of the plants stems.
