1. Bronze Pink Copper Plant (Acalypha wilkesiana)

The copper plant requires well-drained soil that is kept moist to prevent it from dropping its leaves.  These dark pink, almost bronze leaves look stunning in hanging baskets or in patio containers. Prune growth by pinching stems off, allowing you to shape your plant and promote compactness.

2. Cupid’s Bow (Achimenes)

The Achimenes have dark green foliage and red, white, purple or pink flowers. Flowering generally takes place from summer to early winter. Cupid’s bow does well in smaller containers, growing only about a foot tall.

Popular pink flower cultivars include Prima Donna (dark pink), George Houchw (dark green leaves and pink flowers), and Jewel Pink (pale pink flower).

3. Pink Vine (Antigonon leptopus)

Clusters of bright pink flowers appear from spring through October. Depending on the kind, the blossoms might either be white or red. Coral vines are indigenous to the regions of Mexico and Central America. It is common to find it on the edges of roads, on cliff faces, in coastal forests, in disturbed places, and in tropical and subtropical climates.

4. Rex Begonias “Little Brother Montgomery” (Begonia)

The plant grows at a moderate rate and blooms moderately, with lots of small, hairy, pink flowers on strong, thin, upright stems from summer to fall.

The mature leaves have a deep green color with bright pink veins. It can’t handle temperatures lower than 50 degrees °F (10 °C).

Indoors, the plant prefers bright indirect light to produce healthy leaves; nevertheless, it may tolerate moderate direct sunshine during winter. It thrives in consistently humid conditions.

Both overwatering and temperature swings might kill the plant. Before watering, ask yourself: “Is the soil surface dry?”

5. Pink-Leaved Caladiums (Caladium bicolor)

Pink-leaved caladiums are grown for their colorful, arrowhead-shaped leaves that come in a rainbow of white, pink, red, and green.   Some are pink with a green border and veins.  

Propagate caladiums by dividing their tubers and keep the soil moist during the growing season—plant in partial shade to full sun in soil high in organic matter and drains well. 

6. Rose Painted Calathea (Calathea picturata ‘Roxana’)

Picture a leaf that seems like it was painted with cream, pink, and green to create a contrast. leaves that change color dramatically, usually planted as an indoor plant. The veins and midrib of the leaves are silver, and the rest of the leaf has a dark green or maroon color.

7. Pink Chaos Coleus (Coleus scutellarioides ‘Pink Chaos’)

Coleus provides year-round beauty with its colorful varieties, beautiful leaves, and succulent stems. It can be planted as an annual in a mild climate in a garden bed, border, hanging baskets, or indoor container. Even if kept as a houseplant, it needs bright light. Consider the ColorBlaze®Series, which offers excellent deep pink colors. This plant can easily be confused with the mosaic plant,

8. Pink Cabbage Tree (Cordyline australis ‘Red Star’)

I know – it looks nothing like a cabbage or a tree but more like a purple-leaved palm. It’s hugely popular in New Zealand. The colorful leaves create a fountain of dark pink, almost purple foliage.

9. Pink-leaved Ti Plant (Cordyline fruticosa)

Depending on which cultivar you look at, the Ti plant can have beautiful foliage in pastel pink, green, purple, or deep red. For the foliage to keep its vibrant hues, intense light is necessary.

Be sure to just water the top inch of soil if it feels dry to the touch, and never let the soil become soggy. Keep the plant’s humidity levels above 60% and use distilled water as it is sensitive to fluoride.

10. Calico Kitten Plant (Crassula ovata ‘Variegata’)

This succulent prefers bright, indirect light, so be sure to use a potting mix with plenty of loam and plant it somewhere sunny indoors. Overwatering can cause root rot, so it’s important to remember that this plant prefers a drier environment and soil that drains well.

The health of these indoor plants also relies on adequate lighting and moderate to low temperatures. Most domestic settings are not conducive to its flowering. It’s simple to propagate new plants by leaf cuttings.

11. Pink Nerve Plant (Fittonia albivenis ‘Pink Angel’)

The pink nerve plant reminds one of an aerial view of a marsh with small green islands connected with light pink waterways, a network of nerves running through a landscape. The colorful leaves offer a faint pink tinge depending on the light angle and would be an asset in any indoor garden.

12. Pink Jade (Fuchsia ‘Pink Jade’)

While the Fushia is a great outdoor plant, it is often grown as a bonsai and adapts well to indoor pots. The fluorescent pink flower makes it look like the pink color has run to the bottom as it changes from dusty pink to vibrant, pretty pink.

13. Pink Polka Dot Plant (Hypoestes phyllostachya)

Not only is the pink polka dot plant beautiful, but it is also drought tolerant. This extraordinary pink houseplant, with its distinctive pink and green leaves, presents in different shapes and forms. The Splash Select™ polka dot plants look like green houseplants with a pink splash. Other varieties of the polka dot plant look like the mosaic plant (Fittonia albivenis ‘Pink Angel’). 

14. Kalanchoe Pink Paddle Plant (Kalanchoe thyrsiflora)

Succulents, especially the ghost variety, are a clever way to introduce some pretty pink into your living space. Sometimes less is more, and the hardy flapjack plant introduces a subtle pink margin on its flat leaves. Well adapted to dry soil, succulents are great houseplants with pink accents. Make sure you add this one to your collection of pink houseplants.

15. Pink Moonstone (Pachyphytum oviferum)

This succulent option is excellent if you have limited space, not enough for the Pink Princess. The pink coloring is hidden under a protective coat, and the blush is accentuated if the pink moonstone is touched.

16. Blushing Philodendron (Philodendron ‘Pink Princess)

Variegation is strengthened if the vibrant pink leaves are provided with support and enough light. Introduce a pink splash to your home with this aroid that can grow up to ten feet tall.

The hybrid philodendron variety ‘Pink Princess’ has a modest growth rate, vivid pink variegated leaf, and an erect, vining habit. True to its P Erubescens parentage, its foliage is dark purplish-green with striking pink variegation. Pink Princess requires medium maintenance.

While Philodendron is generally considered one of the easier indoor plants requiring limited care, the Pink Princess needs some royal care.

17. Pink Congo (Philodendron ‘Rojo Congo’)

18. Pink Jelly Beans (Sedum rubrotinctum ‘Aurora’)

19. Pink Arrowhead Plant (Syngonium podophyllum)

20. Syngonium Pink Neon (Syngonium erythrophyllum)
