Know before you buy
The Prince of Orange is known for its dynamic color shift. New leaves emerge in a vibrant, striking orange hue and gradually transition to a deep, rich green as they age.
No, the Philodendron Prince of Orange is toxic to pets. It is best kept in a location that is inaccessible to curious animals.
This plant prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant color. While it is adaptable to lower light conditions, it will grow best and keep its color intensity in a spot with plenty of filtered light.
You should aim to keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. A moderate watering schedule is usually sufficient, but always check the top inch of soil before adding more water.
While it can handle standard household conditions, this plant thrives with medium humidity. Regular misting of the leaves will help mimic its tropical environment and keep the foliage looking its best.
Occasional pruning is the best way to manage the plant's shape and encourage new, healthy growth. Simply trim back any leggy stems or older leaves to keep the plant looking full and compact.
