Never had an all pink leaf on my philodendron before, got her 2 years ago. Will it survive?

With no chlorophyll probably not, but it’ll look cute for a while. If the next leaf on that line is also completely pink, you may want to consider cutting back to the node before the first all pink leaf.
Edit for clarity – the plant will be fine, the leaf eventually will not.
Yes, it can survive, but a full pink leaf on a Pink Princess Philodendron usually won’t last as long because it has almost no chlorophyll to feed itself. Super pretty when they do this, but the bigger pattern to watch is what the next few leaves look like, because that’s what tells you if the variegation is staying balanced 😊
I got a full pink in January and she’s still going strong! A new leaf just unfurled from it; looks like it’ll be mostly green! Even trying to add a photo here, but it won’t let me
Gorgeous 🌸💕
She is magnificent!
