Philodendron ‘Prince of Orange’ is a bold, self-heading tropical hybrid adored for its radiant, ever-changing foliage. A member of the Araceae family and native to the tropical forests of South America, this regal variety is named for the brilliant orange hue of its emerging leaves — a vibrant splash of colour that gradually transforms into shades of chartreuse, copper, and deep green as it matures.

Compact, upright, and wonderfully low-maintenance, Philodendron ‘Prince of Orange’ grows in a self-supporting rosette rather than vining, making it perfect for desks, side tables, or as a colourful floor accent. The contrast of warm orange new growth against the cooler green of mature leaves gives the plant a lively, tropical energy that brightens any space.

Playful yet refined, ‘Prince of Orange’ is a tropical gem that combines ease of care with truly show-stopping colour — the perfect plant for collectors and interior enthusiasts alike.


Philodendron ‘Prince of Orange’ – Care Guide

Light

Thrives in bright, indirect light. The vibrant orange tones appear most vividly when the plant receives plenty of filtered sunlight. It can tolerate moderate light but avoid direct sun, which may scorch or fade the leaves. East- or north-facing windows are ideal.

Watering

Keep the soil lightly moist during the growing season (spring and summer). Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry, allowing excess water to drain completely. In winter, reduce watering slightly but do not let the plant dry out fully. Consistent moisture helps maintain lush, colourful growth.

Temperature and Humidity

Temperature: Prefers warmth between 18–28 °C; avoid cold drafts or temperatures below 15 °C.
Humidity: Moderate to high humidity (50–70%) enhances leaf vibrancy and prevents brown edges. Mist occasionally, use a humidifier, or group with other tropical plants for a humidity boost.

Soil and Potting

Use a rich, airy, and well-draining aroid mix — compost blended with perlite, orchid bark, and coco coir is ideal. This provides both aeration and consistent moisture retention. Repot every 2–3 years in spring to refresh the mix and accommodate the plant’s expanding root system.

Feeding

Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a diluted, balanced liquid fertiliser. Avoid over-fertilising, which can cause tip burn or dull the leaf colour. Suspend feeding in autumn and winter when growth naturally slows.

Pruning and Maintenance

Remove older or damaged leaves near the base to maintain shape and encourage fresh growth. Wipe the large, glossy leaves gently with a damp cloth to remove dust and highlight their colour transitions. Rotate occasionally for even light exposure and symmetrical growth.

Growth and Maturity

A moderate grower, Philodendron ‘Prince of Orange’ typically reaches 50–80 cm in height and spread indoors. It grows from a central crown, producing new leaves that emerge in fiery orange tones before maturing to yellow, lime, and finally green. With consistent care, it forms a dense, colourful rosette that looks stunning year-round.

Common Issues

  • Yellowing leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.

  • Faded colour: Insufficient light.

  • Brown edges: Low humidity or inconsistent watering.

  • Pests: Occasionally affected by mealybugs or spider mites — treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap.


Background and Benefits

A hybrid cultivar developed for its brilliant colour transitions and compact growth, Philodendron ‘Prince of Orange’ is a favourite among indoor gardeners for its cheerful yet refined appearance. Unlike many Philodendrons, it does not climb or trail, making it ideal for smaller spaces and modern décor.

Like other Philodendrons, it’s also a natural air purifier, helping to filter toxins such as formaldehyde and benzene from indoor air. Symbolically, its orange and green tones represent optimism, vitality, and growth — making it a joyful, energising addition to the home.

    Good For History Lovers
    I doubt anyone who does not want to read a true historical book with a lot of facts but not as exciting as a non-fiction novel will enjoy this. I liked it because I learned a lot of things about New York that I was really surprised to read. Seems my beloved New York had a pretty bloody, violent history towards slaves and Catholics and some others the leaders and people did not like. I didn't realize the punishments of the day were just as bad, if not worse, than those of the Salem Witch hunt days. Beware, some of the content may turn your stomach.

    Jill Lepore's "New York Burning: Liberty, Slavery, and Conspiracy in Eighteenth-Century Manhattan" is a valuable and admirable examination of one of the darkest episodes in New York's history: the so-called slave rebellion of 1741 and the brutal vengeance that was extracted. Professor Lepore's painstaking research confronts the reader with a terrible conclusion: even the most respectable of people in society will consent to the deaths of human beings, based on even the tiniest shreds of evidence. Focusing primarily on the actions of Daniel Horsmanden, the City's Recorder, Lepore provides the reader with a background on the attitudes of New York's whites toward their slaves. She makes clear that Gotham was neither the first nor only city to have witnessed slave uprisings. (It had suffered a similar uprising a couple of decades earlier.) But the events of 1741 were unique for several reasons: --the shifting finger-pointing at various groups; --the inconsistency of Mary Burton's testimony, which essentially was the case against several slaves;and --Horsmanden's bizarre behavior toward Mary Burton. Admittedly, I've only superficially studied this dark time in New York's history, so I was shocked to learn that there were actually several "conspiracies": the Negro Plot, Hughson's Plot, the Spanish Plot, the Roman Plot, etc. Each plot was hatched depending on who confessed to what. Worst of all, the white population of New York--fueled by racism, xenophobia, paranoia, and, not the least of all, bloodlust--went right along with it. And, with the exception of an intriguing anonymous letter from Massachussetts, it seems the rest of the colonies went along with it, too. While Horsmanden is just short of villified in this book, he is not alone in his culpability. Professor Lapore's "New York Burning" will disturb many readers. The accounts of the slaves and the few whites burning, hanging, begging, and praying are graphic and heartbreaking. Still, this in an incredibly important book for anyone interested in the history of our nation and/or the all-too-tragic fragility of race relations in America. For this, Professor Lapore deserves our appreciation

    Spectacular Albeit Unknown History of Race Relations
    Format: Hardcover
    This is a great piece of historiography about something few know about at all --- slavery in New York City in the 18th century. How about a slave "rebellion" in New York City, how about more people burned at the stake than in the Salem witchcraft trials, how about dark byways and highways of old New York, barely transformed from its days as New Amsterdam, dark plots in dank places, shrill frightened tyrants overreacting with bloody retribution, burned ruins of an early African American village in Central Park? One cannot make up this stuff, it is too real so it must be history at its best. And written by one of our premier authors of history, a woman who makes our history live in The New Yorker to the acclaim of many, and yet whose best book, this one, is still too little known. If you appreciate Harry Truman's remark that the only new thing under the Sun is the history you haven't read, then this is one to curl up with and marvel at; a great way to spend a rainy day or a dark night.

    Good, but not great.
    Format: Paperback
    Kudos to Lepore for delving into an important, little known subject, which she does better than most historians. At times, however, I think she felt the need to put every little piece of information she got into the book. It was way too long. Some good research, but she has done better. Still, worth checking out. I like to think I know American history, but I know nothing about this awful chapter.

    DAMN, this is a great book!
    Format: Hardcover
    All history books should be this detailed, this readable, this humane. Lepore knows how to write about a horrible, nearly forgotten episode in NYC history. Unlike many historians, she steps away from overt politics or raw emotion. She knows that this subject is too serious to be shouted. It is the rare history book that is packed with facts as well as knowledge. I felt like Lepore was taking my hand and leading me through the smelly streets of lower Manhattan in 1741, like I could almost see the faces of...what were they, anyway? The victims of a horrible hoax? The demented planners of a plot to burn the city? Or something in between, where thieves can also be the keepers of ancient rites from a distant homeland, where the world is turned upside down? I could go on and on, but just buy the book!
