Autumnal Oranges. This unique and appealing philodendron boasts an impressive display of colour. New leaves emerge a vibrant yellow, then turn a tangy copper-orange, before slowly transforming to glorious green. This modern philodendron hybrid is somewhat unusual in that it does not trail like most of its relatives. Growing bright new leaves on vibrant red stems from its centre, the Prince of Orange grows round and full to offer an elegant silhouette and eye catching colour.
Horty Hints
Think tropical showers. Let the top half of soil dry out before drenching and draining. Squeeze the pot gently to prevent waterlogged soil and root rot.
The Prince likes lots of bright indirect sunlight to grow new leaves and ensure that stunning orange colour comes through. If you notice its leaves starting to go mostly green, move to a brighter location.
Banish the brown. If you notice browning edges your Prince of Orange needs more humidity. Move to a bathroom or kitchen or give it the occasional misting.
