🌿 Philodendron ‘Prince of Orange’ Care Guide

The Prince of Orange is a vibrant, self-heading philodendron celebrated for its colour-changing foliage. New leaves emerge bright orange, soften into coppery tones, and mature into fresh green — giving you constant colour without variegation fuss.

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light

• Medium light tolerated (colour will be less intense)

• Avoid direct sun — can scorch tender orange leaves

💧 Water

• Water when the top 3–5 cm of soil are dry

• Likes lightly moist soil, never soggy

• Use a well-draining aroid mix (soil + bark + perlite)

• Drooping = thirsty

• Yellowing leaves = overwatering

🌫️ Humidity

• Happy in average household humidity

• Higher humidity encourages larger leaves but isn’t essential

🌡️ Temperature

• Ideal range: 18–28°C

• Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes

• Never below 15°C

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring & summer

• Use a balanced liquid fertilizer at half strength

• Pause feeding in winter

🌱 Growth Tips

• Self-heading plant — no pole required

• Naturally compact and tidy

• Rotate occasionally for even colour development

• Wipe leaves to keep them glossy and vibrant
