Plant PSA for Pink lovers

So I’ve discovered the joy of houseplants somewhat recently, and that they can be bought on Etsy. I also know that pink foliage is Cool as Fuck. I have noticed, however, there are several listings on Etsy for Philodendron Pink Congos.

BEWARE the Pink Congos! They will NOT STAY PINK. They will revert to a completely green plant within a year.

They look cool, don’t get me wrong. They have green leaves, and they also have completely pink leaves. They’re pretty! HOWEVER. They’re essentially FAKE. These plants have been treated with a chemical that makes they’re leaves grow pink, but that chemical will wear out, and the plant will revert to completely green in 6-12 months. Even the pink leaves will bleed out to green.

I’m only making a PSA about this because I clicked several listings and none of them mentioned the guaranteed reversion of the plant; whether it’s seller ignorance or something else is whatever. I just think people should know that when they spend $40-50 plus $70+ on shipping (import inspection fees, essentially) they should be made aware they’re buying a short-term novelty...

You can see the pink starting to fade out in the ends of a few of these, image taken from a listing. Here’s another one:

I will also say, all the listings I clicked on are shipping from Indonesia from what appeared to be nurseries and given how long they’ve been in the market, I’ve drawn my own conclusions on whether I think it’s seller ignorance or not. I’ve also seen a couple listings for Philo. Dark Lords with pink leaves like these; those have also been chemically treated to produce pink leaves, and will revert.

Anyone selling these, or plants like these, without putting a disclaimer about the reversion -or worse insisting it doesn’t happen- is essentially lying. I know I, as a relatively new plant person, would hate to spend the money on a plant I thought was hella cool only to have it turn out to be a fake that didn’t last.

There’s a Youtuber Kaylee Ellen who did a whole video about these, so if you’re curious I’d definitely recommend checking it out! She owns a rare plant shop and is very knowledgeable about plants.
