Philodendron Prince of Orange 5" Pot

The Philodendron Prince of Orange is a striking self-heading variety known for its bold foliage that emerges a bright copper-orange and gradually matures to chartreuse and deep green. This plant adds a dramatic splash of color and makes a vibrant centerpiece in any home or office setting. Unlike trailing philodendrons, the Prince of Orange maintains an upright, bushy form with a compact growth habit.

Philodendron Prince of Orange Care Tips:

1. Light:

Prefers bright, indirect light. Can tolerate moderate light but avoid direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.

2. Soil:

Use a chunky, well-draining mix such as coco coir, orchid bark, perlite, and compost. This promotes airflow to the roots and prevents overwatering.

3. Watering:

Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Ensure excess water can drain freely to avoid root rot.

4. Humidity:

Thrives in moderate to high humidity. If your home is dry, consider occasional misting or a humidity tray.

5. Temperature:

Ideal range is 65–80°F (18–27°C). Keep away from cold drafts and sudden temperature drops.

6. Fertilizer:

Feed monthly during the growing season with a balanced, water-soluble houseplant fertilizer.

7. Growth Habit:

Grows upright and can reach about 2 feet tall indoors. New leaves push from the center, showcasing their vivid color change over time.

8. Propagation:

Best propagated through stem cuttings or division during repotting.
