Know before you buy
Yes, this variety is known for its consistent marbled patterns. While each leaf will display a unique distribution of orange, red, and green, the plant will continue to produce variegated foliage as it grows.
To keep the orange and red tones vivid, place the plant in a spot with bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light may cause the variegation to fade.
No, the Philodendron Marbled Orange Princess is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best kept on a high shelf or in a room inaccessible to curious animals.
Moderate humidity typically falls between 40% and 60%. If your home is particularly dry, you can maintain these levels by grouping the plant with others or placing it near a humidifier.
Water when the top inch or two of the soil feels dry to the touch. Because it prefers moderate moisture, ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent the roots from sitting in excess water.
