Philodendron 'Green Princess'

Philodendron 'Green Princess' is a compact green Philodendron with glossy leaves and a naturally tight growth habit. It forms a small, dense outline in the pot, with fresh green leaves held close around a short central stem.

New growth opens bright green, then settles into a deeper glossy tone. Short internodes keep the plant tidy, while active roots allow regular new leaf production.

Compact green traits at a glance

  • Growth habit: Compact self-heading Philodendron with short internodes.
  • Leaf shape: Oval to softly pointed green leaves with a glossy surface.
  • Plant size: Small, tight-growing Philodendron with a contained pot shape.
  • Care needs: Warmth, bright indirect light and careful watering keep the short growth habit neat.
  • Container behaviour: Holds a tidy pot shape with regular rotation and careful watering.

Short internodes and close leaf growth

Philodendron 'Green Princess' develops as a small, leafy cluster. The short stem keeps leaves close together, so the plant can look dense even when young. This tight arrangement also means the base should stay clean and well ventilated. Old leaf sheaths and dead leaf bases can hold moisture, so removing dry material carefully helps protect the central growth.

The leaves are smooth and reflective. They can be wiped with a soft damp cloth when dusty, which is especially helpful on compact plants where leaves overlap. Healthy growth should appear firm, evenly green and well spaced. A plant that starts leaning strongly toward the light is asking for brighter indirect light or more regular rotation.

In indoor containers, Philodendron 'Green Princess' stays at its best when the pot is scaled to the root system. A very large pot can keep the inner mix wet too long, while a tight root ball dries too quickly and slows leaf development. The goal is a breathable mix, steady warmth and enough light to keep the short growth habit neat.

Care for a smaller self-heading Philodendron

  • Light: Bright indirect light keeps the plant compact and helps new leaves size up properly. Avoid harsh direct sun on the glossy leaf surface.
  • Watering: Let the top few centimetres of the mix dry before watering again. Water thoroughly, then allow excess water to drain away.
  • Substrate: Use a loose aroid mix with bark, perlite or pumice. The compact base needs air movement around the roots and lower stem.
  • Humidity: Normal home humidity can be enough, but moderate humidity supports cleaner new growth during active leaf production.
  • Temperature: Keep warm and stable, ideally above 18°C. Avoid cold windowsills combined with wet substrate.
  • Feeding: Use a diluted balanced fertiliser during active growth. Compact plants can show tip burn when overfed.
  • Cleaning: Wipe leaves gently to remove dust and inspect the tight inner growth for pests.
  • Repotting: Repot only when needed. A pot that is too large can keep the root zone wet for too long.

Problems in tight central growth

  • Loose, stretched growth: Usually caused by insufficient light. Move the plant to a brighter indirect position and rotate it regularly.
  • Yellow lower leaves: Check whether the leaf is simply old. Several yellow leaves together suggest excess water, compacted mix or a cold root zone.
  • Brown tips: Often linked to dry spells, fertiliser build-up or inconsistent watering. Check the roots before increasing water frequency.
  • Black marks near the crown: Look for trapped moisture in old leaf sheaths or dense substrate around the stem.
  • Sticky residue or fine webbing: Inspect for scale, spider mites or other pests, especially where leaves overlap.

Philodendron 'Green Princess' grows best with steady, moderate care. Strong fertiliser, oversized pots and constantly wet substrate can damage the compact root zone. Bright filtered light, a breathable mix and careful watering help keep the plant dense and evenly shaped.

Safety for pets and children

Philodendron 'Green Princess' is not pet-safe. Chewed leaves or stems can release insoluble calcium oxalate crystals, causing mouth and throat irritation in pets or people. Keep cuttings and removed leaves away from children and animals, and wash hands after handling sap.

Philodendron name background

Philodendron belongs to Araceae, the arum family. The genus name is built from Greek elements often translated as “loving” and “tree”, reflecting the climbing nature of many wild Philodendron species.

Philodendron 'Green Princess' stays small and glossy, with short internodes and close green leaf growth around the central stem.

A Truly Ergonomic Mouse
Number of Items: 1
Other not completely flat mice claim to be "ergonomic", but the only way to completely remove stress from your forearm when using a mouse is with a "vertical" mouse. My 2020 K75575WW Kensington ergonomic vertical mouse developed a problem with the left button "stuttering" so that it sent multiple button clicks when pressed just once. I liked the Kensington quite a bit. But it always just a little bit on the "not quite as solid as I would like" side, and failing after just 2.5 years confirmed this. So I wanted a more solidly build mouse. A search for "ergonomic mouse review" showed that the Logitech MX Master 3S was clearly the best ergonomic mouse available. At $100 it was several times more expensive as others including the latest Kensington vertical mouse. But sometimes furgal doesn't mean the least expensive. Sometimes it can mean the most expensive if that comes with better performance, features and lifespan. So I ordered it. And while it is indeed an incredible mouse, the angle is only about 20 degrees. The result is that while there is some reduction in forearm stress compared to a flat mouse, it wasn't enough for me. By the end of my very long days driving my mouse almost as much as I drive my keyboard, I could feel the tension building up in my forearm. So after a week I returned it and bought this Logitech MX Vertical. It is slightly less expensive than the MX Master 3S, but still much more expensive relative to other options. And while it is lighter and a little less substantial feeling in my hand than the MX Master 3S, it still feels very firm and solid. Most importantly keeps my hand in the neutral position with my fingers at about 70 degrees. A great feature of the MX Vertical shares with the MX Master 3S is the thumb rest. The Kensington didn't have this and so my thumb rested on the desktop. If it was a bit warm and my hands would sweat my thumb wouldn't slide smoothly and I would have to lift my thumb off the desk when I went to move the mouse. Not a horrible thing, but if you spend 8+ hours mousing around it gets tiresome. The button clicks are crisp. Best of all when the button bottoms out it feels like it is pressing against the case. It doesn't feel like travel is being limited by the switch itself bottoming out like the Kensington felt like it did. My hope is that this will keep the switch from wearing out so fast as happened with the Kensington. One slight negative of the MX Vertical is that I don't feel like I am quite as accurate in being able to move the cursor to a specific spot on the screen without some amount of conscious effort. Instead it doesn't go exactly in the direction I intended and overshoots where wanted it to stop. As such it might not make the best mouse for video games. [UPDATE: There is a bit of a learning curve in moving the mouse accurately. In the last couple weeks my need to make a more conscious effort to move the mouse to a specific spot on the screen is going down. Still think it is likely to not be as accurate as a flater mouse]

Great mouse
Number of Items: 1
Definitely reduces fatigue. Easy to use. Great response with less space needed for mouse movement. Stays charged for months you actually forget to charge it, ask me how I know :). I play video games with it and never have any issues with the movement and response time of mouse. And since my car wreck where I broke my thumb this is the only mouse that gave me the same as before the wreck abilities to move and operate the mouse. Highly recommend. One very broken thumbs up :)

Experience after one year of usage
Number of Items: 1
I had mainly used a MX Master 2S before this and because of my heavy usage I did start to feel uncomfortable after a few hours of use every day and that's when I decided to purchase MX Vertical. Now after almost 9 months of usage this has become the mouse I use on a daily basis, completely replacing MX Master 2S. Comfort: It took me about a day or two to really get used to using it because of the positioning and ever since then my wrist has never felt any discomfort, literally. I don't have a mouse pad but because of the angle that my wrist is contact with the desk when I use it, this has never been a problem. What I also love about the ergonomic design is that my hand can actually just rest on it when not doing specific tasks, and it just fits my palm perfectly. Functionality: I don't use it for gaming so I can't comment on that. However, comparing it with my Master 2S, there are some very obvious disadvantages. If you use Excel sheets a lot, or anything that requires horizontal viewing, the scrolling option is terrible. You can set up the function key on Logi Options+ and I use the side buttons for scroll right+left mainly because how easy it was to use with the Master 2S's side scrolling buttons. It is not comparable at all. With Master 2s, horizontal scrolling is smooth and precise. With this, it's basically useless. There are sites that just aren't responsive to the side buttons and when they do, you can never get to the precise point you want. Huge disappointment with that because I don't really use the side buttons for anything else. There is also no scrolling control with the middle button unlike the Master 2S, so you can't really scroll vertically as fast as you can when using Master 2S either. However I do use the middle button sometimes to just do the job for me so I'm ok with its basic functionality. The top button is mainly used as a look-up button for me, so far its working pretty well and honestly it probably makes not much difference if they just completely take this button out for me. Maybe some people can find use in it as a switch for scrolling or mouse speed, or something else. Overall, the customizability of these buttons is very good, and depending on personal use, I can see it being very useful. Battery life: Battery life is fantastic, never had any problem with it yet. I haven't really kept track but with my heavy daily usage (probably 10+ hours with no intense gaming), it can usually go for more than a month. You can also use it while it's being charged. Durability: I have unfortunately knocked it over the desk a couple times on hard vinyl floor and there seems to be no problem with it at all. Before purchasing this I saw some comments about how it stopped functioning after being dropped to the floor and I was really worried about it. However that is not my case at all. It is very durable in my opinion and does its job perfectly even after dropping it a few times. Overall, extremely comfortable to use. It helped with my wrist pain tremendously and now I use it for hours without feeling any discomfort. The functionality is severely disadvantageous compared to Master 2s and 3s, and possibly other gaming mouses as well, but if you are here because of wrist pain, this is the right product.
