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.

Fits 2001 Bayliner
This product was definitely different than the original I have a 2001 Bayliner with a 3.0 MerCruiser and an alpha one second GEN drive The kit worked but the bottom gasket had a weird cut different than the original I added a gasket maker just in case (Yamaha Lube) Brand! All in all kit was fine, One thing to note is the directions that come with the kit at least for my version we’re not for the same alpha one second GEN 4 stroke kit that I got they were for a two-stroke in the pictures didn’t look the same as the parts that I had got which is fine but it’s miss leading when you send a 4 stroke kit but 2 stroke 90hp to 200hp alpha one directions! If it craps out this review will change

Super great product. Has the power and functionality to get you repairing fast! Fully recommend this and it has worked great since I've owned it. Still going strong in the durability and design looks like it will keep it going strong for many years. Highly highly recommend buying this. Will work in Kuwait, Iraq, UAE, and Saudi. Good for Camps around the CENTCOM area!

Nice flexible silicone wire
Size: 14 gauge silicone wire 10ft and 10ft, Color: silicone wire red and black
I purchased to replace the main power cable for an Ender 3 3D printer. The original cables were the same type but had a cheap connector Midway through to allow the power supply to be removed if needed. THOSE NYLON connectors overheated, smelled and turned black. The BNTECHGO 14 Gauge Silicone Wire were a perfect replacement. No more connector and no more heat issues.
