Philodendron Prince of Orange Cherry Red (Philodendron)

Plant Bio

Philodendron Prince of Orange is easy to care for and easier to love – naturally getting its name from the Greek words Philo – ‘love’ and dendron – ‘tree.’ Hailing from Central America and the Caribbean, Philodendron Prince of Orange is a unique hybrid – thanks to which it changes colors over time. Its foliage first sprouts up in bright yellow, later develops deep tones of amber and bronze, and ultimately grows into lush, dark green.

Philodendrons prefer soil that is consistently slightly moist, especially if you want them to grow big leaves. As epiphytes with aerial roots, they are sensitive to overwatering, so they don’t want to sit in soggy soil. Typically, you shouldn’t have to water your Prince of Orange more than once a week. When the top 1-2 inches of the soil are dry, your plant could use a drink. Rest easy knowing this plant is hardy and easy to care for!

Rotate your plant periodically to ensure even growth on all sides and dust the leaves often so the plant can photosynthesize efficiently. When dusting the leaves, also take the opportunity to inspect the undersides and keep an eye out for pests.

Remember each plant is a unique living thing and may have varying needs, especially in their individual locations. Pay attention to the condition of your Philodendron Prince of Orange and its watering needs and you will have a long and happy relationship.
