Description
Philodendron Prince of Orange
The Philodendron Prince of Orange is a colorful tropical houseplant prized for its brilliant foliage and constantly changing display of color. New leaves emerge in vibrant shades of orange and copper before gradually transitioning through bronze and green tones as they mature. With several stages of color often visible at the same time, this eye-catching Philodendron adds a warm tropical look to any indoor plant collection.
Unlike climbing Philodendron varieties, the Prince of Orange Philodendron has a compact, self-heading growth habit. Its broad, glossy leaves grow from a central base, creating a full and attractive shape that works well on plant stands, shelves, desks, and as a colorful accent in larger indoor plant displays.
For the strongest growth and best foliage coloration, provide bright, indirect light. While Philodendron Prince of Orange can tolerate medium light levels, brighter indirect light helps encourage more vibrant orange and copper tones in new growth. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
Water when the top layer of soil begins to dry, using a loose, well-draining potting mix that allows excess moisture to escape. Prince of Orange appreciates moderate humidity and warm temperatures but adapts well to typical indoor household conditions.
