Philodendron ‘Pink Bikini' pink veined cultivar

Philodendron Pink Bikini was introduced in late 2023 when it won prestigious awards all over Europe in that year for it.  The stems are pink and the emerging leaves have very pink veins which contrast nicely with the dark purple of the maturing leaves.  However despite its dramatic looks this is not a diva and is as easy to take care of as any philodendron.  Its compact form makes it easy to enjoy the transition between the young and mature leaves.  The plant will develop over time into a large self supporting stunning plant with new leaves emerging in a spiral from the centre of the plant.

Like all philodendron’s your Philodendron Pink Bikini will enjoy a spot with good but mostly indirect light.  When there is direct light on the leaves this should be in the early morning or late afternoon so a spot in an East or West facing room or to one side of a South facing window is ideal.

Water your Philodendron Pink Bikini only when the growing medium has completely dried out.   Then remove it from its cover pot and, avoiding the leaves, completely drench the root ball.  If the medium is very dry, this may mean watering it more than once.  You will know that the root ball has been adequately watered when excess is draining from all the holes at the bottom of the pot.  Let that excess completely drain before replacing it in its cover pot.

Philodendrons are vines and in the wild their aim is to getting high up into their host trees towards the light.  In the home this can make them hard to deal with over time as anyone with a Monstera will attest.  Philodendron Pink Bikini is one of the cultivars which are bred specifically so that the leaves form very closely together on the stem.  This makes for a compact plant which will stay shrubby.
