Philodendron 'Caramel Pluto' ('Chocolate Empress', 'Pluto')

Philodendron 'Caramel Pluto' is a self-heading cultivated Philodendron with thick, glossy leaves that open in caramel, bronze or chocolate tones before maturing to deep green. The leaf margins are lightly serrated, giving the plant a firm, textured outline as each blade hardens.

The plant builds from a central growing point, with new leaves held close before the top growth broadens. Mature plants form a rosette-like shape with sturdy petioles and a heavier upper canopy, so pot stability and an airy root zone matter most as the plant gains size.

Caramel flushes and serrated glossy leaves

  • Foliage: Glossy leaves with caramel to chocolate new growth and darker green mature colour.
  • Leaf edge: Serrated margins give mature blades a more defined outline.
  • Growth habit: Self-heading structure with a central growing point and compact rosette-like development.
  • Container behaviour: Develops a broad, top-heavy plant over time, so pot stability is important.

How the self-heading rosette fills the pot

Philodendron 'Caramel Pluto' opens its newest leaves in caramel, bronze or chocolate tones, then deepens to green as the blades mature. Because the leaves are thick and glossy, they show water stress, sun marks and fertiliser residue quite clearly at the edges and surface.

New leaves emerge close to the centre, so the central growth point needs airflow and the root system needs a mix that holds light moisture while staying open. A heavy, compact substrate can keep the lower root zone too wet, especially once the plant is placed in a larger pot.

Steady light, airy substrate and balanced watering

  • Light: Place in bright indirect light, roughly 10,000–20,000 lux, with only gentle morning or late-day sun after acclimation.
  • Watering: Water when the upper third to half of the substrate has dried; thick leaves handle short dry intervals better than stagnant roots.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky aroid mix with bark, coco fibre, pumice or perlite, so the roots get airflow while the mix still holds light moisture between waterings.
  • Pot choice: Choose a pot with drainage and enough weight to balance the broad self-heading top growth.
  • Humidity: Keep around 50–70% humidity for smoother unfurling and fewer dry edge marks.
  • Temperature: Maintain 18–29°C and keep the root zone warm during winter.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth to keep new leaves well sized, firm and evenly coloured.
  • Leaf care: Wipe dust from the glossy surface so pests and residue are easier to spot.

Edge damage, distorted growth and leaning stems

  • Soft yellowing leaves: Check whether the root ball is staying wet for too long; improve drainage and extend the dry interval.
  • Brown crispy edges: Look for dry root pockets, low humidity or fertiliser salt buildup in the mix.
  • Distorted new leaves: Inspect the central growth point for thrips and check humidity during unfurling.
  • Weak caramel colour: Mature leaves naturally darken; judge plant health by leaf firmness, root condition and new growth size.
  • Leaning plant: Rotate the pot gradually and check whether the root system still anchors the plant firmly.

Toxicity if chewed

Philodendron 'Caramel Pluto' is toxic if ingested. The plant contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth, tongue and throat. Keep it out of reach of pets and children, and avoid contact with eyes after pruning or handling cut tissue.

Most comfortable flip flops ever! From day 1!
Size: 7.5, Color: White Khaki
These are hands down the most comfortable flip flops ever. There is no 'break-in' period. The fabric is so soft you forget it's there and it doesn't rub between your toes at all. By the second full day of wear, the foam was starting to conform to the contour of my feet. They feel and look great. The bottoms have a nice triangle tread pattern on them instead of being totally flat so I'm hoping they will still get traction on wet floors like pool areas etc. I got them after nearly doing a split again in my old ones that were a safety hazard poolside.

Nice flip flops
Size: 7, Color: Grey
Nice looking flip flops. They feel good and well made, but I've only worn them for a few hours. The material that goes over the feet is almost too stretchy. I hope they don't stretch out more. I have wide feet and these fit great, true to size. I like the grey color.

Comfortable and convenient
Size: 34, Color: Kangaroo
Got these to replace some old cargo shorts that aren't made anymore and are developing holes. So far I have been very pleased. The waist fits true to size and the fit is relaxed through the seat and thigh, which is exactly what I was looking for since I have somewhat stout thighs relative to my waist. I'm 6'0", about 200lbs, with a 34-35" waist. The material feels sturdy without being overly heavy, about as thick as old ripstop BDUs. Front slash pockets are generously deep; no problem carrying a 5.5" smartphone in there. Rear pockets are sufficiently deep and are narrow enough that a trifold wallet won't turn itself sideways. Cargo pockets are adequately sized and have hook and loop closures at the corners. The "tech" pocket behind the left cargo pocket is very convenient for me, as I'm used to carrying my phone on that side. I can slide my Samsung Galaxy S25 in there and it fits well without worrying about it falling out. I wore these for a couple of days at Disney World last week and they performed very well. Moving my phone to that tech pocket made rides with lap bars or belts much more comfortable. I even washed these shorts at the resort so I could wear them on the long drive home. If I could change anything about them, I'd add about an inch of length, as I prefer a full 11" inseam on cargo shorts. And maybe add a button or some kind of closure to the rear pockets. But aside from that, these have been pretty close to perfect. I expect I'll order more as I replace more of my older cargo shorts.

Lightweight and comfortable
Size: 42, Color: Kangaroo, Size: 42, Color: Kangaroo
The fit is just right and they're very comfortable. This is the second pair I've bought and the review could easily be for both pairs. The only difference between them is the color. I deducted a star because they really need at least 2 more belt loops. Why do manufacturers skimp on something that would be so inexpensive to do right? The belt loops on either side of the front button are 11 inches apart. Ideally they'd be at most 5 or 6 inches apart. Anyway, these will be the shorts I wear to do my yard work. I can put my phone in the right hand cargo pocket and know that the Velcro closure won't let it fall out while I'm working. My keys will go in the left side cargo pocket. I'd definitely buy them again. The price is right and they are comfortable to wear.
