Philodendron ‘Prince of Orange’ - 4” pot

The Philodendron ‘Prince of Orange’ is a popular tropical hybrid houseplant renowned for its captivating, color-changing foliage. It starts with vibrant shades of copper, peach, and bright orange, gradually transitioning to a soft lime and deep dark green as it matures.

Key Features:

- Color Gradient: New leaves exhibit a striking color gradient, transitioning from vivid copper and peach to a soft lime and deep green as they age.

- Growth Habit: This philodendron is self-heading, meaning it grows upright and bush-like from a central base rather than producing long climbing vines or trailing stems.

- Size: It typically grows compact indoors, reaching about 2 feet tall and wide.

- Toxicity: It’s toxic to pets (cats and dogs) and humans if ingested, containing calcium oxalate crystals.

Quick Care Guide:

- Light: Provide bright, indirect light to encourage and maintain the brightest orange new growth. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

- Watering: Water thoroughly when the top 1 to 2 inches of soil feel dry. Ensure excess water drains completely and avoid letting it sit in soggy soil to prevent root rot.

- Soil: Use a loose, fast-draining, peat-based potting mix enriched with organic matter.

- Humidity: It prefers moderate to high humidity (50% or higher) but can adapt well to average household humidity levels.
