Light The Pink Princess thrives in medium to bright indirect light. Direct sunlight can be too harsh, fading its vibrant colors and leading to scorched leaves. A north or east-facing window is ideal.

Soil A well-draining potting mix is crucial to prevent water from accumulating around the roots. A mix designed for aroids or a mixture containing peat, perlite, and vermiculite works well.
