The Philodendron 'Prince of Orange' is a stunning tropical houseplant known for its vibrant foliage that changes color as it matures. New leaves emerge bright orange, then transition to yellow, then lime green, and finally deep green, creating a striking contrast. Unlike vining philodendrons, this variety has a self-heading, upright growth habit.

 

Care Guide for Philodendron 'Prince of Orange'

 

Light

 

Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its vivid colors.

 

Can tolerate medium light, but lower light may cause slower growth and duller leaf colors.

 

Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

 

 

Watering

 

Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry.

 

Likes slightly moist soil but does not tolerate overwatering—ensure the pot has drainage holes.

 

Reduce watering in winter when growth slows.

 

 

Soil

 

Well-draining, rich potting mix.

 

A blend of peat, perlite, and orchid bark works well for aeration and moisture balance.

 

 

Temperature & Humidity

 

Ideal temperature: 18–27°C (65–80°F).

 

Prefers high humidity (above 50%), though it adapts to normal indoor humidity.

 

If the air is too dry, mist occasionally or use a pebble tray/humidifier.

 

 

Fertilizing

 

Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring & summer).

 

Reduce feeding in fall and winter.

 

 

Pruning & Maintenance

 

Remove yellow or damaged leaves to encourage new growth.

 

Wipe leaves occasionally to keep them dust-free and allow better light absorption.

 

 

Propagation

 

Best propagated by stem cuttings or division.

 

Cut a stem with at least one node and root it in water or moist soil.

 

 

Common Issues

 

Yellowing leaves → Overwatering or poor drainage.

 

Leggy growth → Not enough light.

 

Brown leaf tips → Low humidity or inconsistent watering.

 

 

Pet Safety

 

Toxic to pets if ingested, as it contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation and digestive issues.
