Philodendron Prince of Orange

Philodendron 'Prince of Orange' is a rare non-vining upright hybrid bred from the Philodendron erubescens. This plant is sought after for it's unusual coloring. Young specimens have vivid orange leaves that gradually change to green as they mature. During their transformation, there can be a mix of foliage shades on one plant. You might see yellow-bronze, salmon, and deep orange before the leaves gradually develop the standard dark green hue. As new leaves unfurl, more orange shades arrive. Providing you can offer bright but indirect light and high humidity, this plant should thrive.
 
Light

Mimicking the native conditions of tropical philodendrons is the aim. Popping your Philodendron 'Prince of Orange' in a spot where it receives bright but indirect light simulates the dappled sun that shines on a rainforest floor.
Situate your Philodendron 'Prince of Orange' near an east or west-facing window or use a sheer curtain to filter the light if a south-facing spot is all you can offer. Too much sun can scorch the leaves, too little, and you won't get to appreciate the brightest orange hues. And remember to spin the plant regularly to encourage uniform growth.

Soil

You want a loose, well-draining potting medium for your Philodendron 'Prince of Orange'. If you want to make your own, try mixing equal parts perlite, peaty soil, and aerating orchid bark. To boost the drainage further, try adding a little gravel. Alternatively, pick up a ready-made commercial aroid potting mix.

Water

Getting it right with watering is probably the most challenging part of caring for the Philodendron 'Prince of Orange'. Instead of watering on a strict schedule, it's all about regularly checking soil moisture levels. Even moisture is best, as wet feet can lead to root rot and problems with pests. Water deeply once the first few inches of soil are dry, and reduce watering amounts once the peak spring and summer growing season draws to a close.
