About Philodendron Prince of Orange
One of the most colorful Philodendrons, the Prince of Orange has brightly colored leaves the emerge a deep pink/red, and mature to orange, and then green 🧡 Philodendrons grow aerial roots that grip the bark of trees, allowing them to grow over 20 feet tall! Their heart-shaped leaves change shape as they climb and can grow larger than a dinner plate. Fossils show Philodendrons growing as far back as 30 million years ago when South America was still connected to Antarctica! ❄️

Does your plant do this? #Philodendron Kendall always has drops of water on its leaves when I get home. It's like it's tearing up or sweating. Is that normal? What does that mean? Good or bad?

I have a couple of younger Prince of Orange plants. I have them in a sunny window, but they don't seem to be doing well. What am I doing wrong or am I impatient? #Philodendron

wobbly plant!! he was wobbly when i got him and then stable and now he’s VERY unstable and idk if these pics help since i can’t upload a video but he’s very much leaning to one side where the leaves are but feels super weak on the other side. whenever i tilt him or make sure he’s sitting straight up to the other side he ends up like lolling around on his neck or stem to find the heavy leaf side!

All the leaves fell off 😔 #Philodendron

This is another plant I received as a gift that is currently in a decorative glass bowl of water. Should I leave it in the bowl of water or put Prince in a pot with soil? #Philodendron

Sigh #Philodendron prince of orange woes. I repotted previously and it was way too big of a pot and lost most the leaves. Currently have it back in a tiny 2 inch pot after assessing the roots and they weren’t rotten so that’s nice but it’s just got a leaf and a half left any special triage tips? The gallery of Phil will show the changes and current look

My #PrinceofOrange is looking very orange today!!! I’ve had this plant a while now, and it’s gone from a dull orange to a reddish green hue to this vibrant shade. It’s amazing how much lighting makes a difference. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #GrowLights #BeforeAndAfter #theamigos #LaSiguanaba #PhilodendronPrinceofOrange #PhiloFlock #Philodendron

My large #Philodendron Prince of Orange 🌿🍊 has grown an offset that I didn’t even notice until I just saw this cute little new leaf just now! He’s the father of many thriving offspring which I’ve been able to gift to friends, plus another which is now also pretty big and in my office at work, so I’m not exactly surprised, but I’m a little surprised I didn’t see it before, lol. Anyway, welcome, little cutie! 😊💕🪴 #HappyPlants #NewGrowth #Propagation #PhiloFlock #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #babevila #PLANTMAFIA #PrinceofOrange #babyplants

New leaf stuck ?? 🫣 Hello yall, I got this Phil Prince of Orange about a month ago. When I bought it - it had what I thought was a new leaf coming in (see Tree Diddy profile pic) but now it just seem stuck.. 🤔 I have another Philo, it’s bigger and pink though and the new growth definitely takes its sweet time to unravel. Any advice to help? Should I cut it off to promote new growth or just leave it alone? 🫣 Thanks in advance!😊 #Philodendron #NewGrowth #advice #help #stuckleaf

I brought home this beauty in Dec. and believe the first spot had too bright/ direct light because a leaf dropped and another tip burnt. I moved it and have since had a new leaf but still feel like she could be happier? I just got this greg and the app says it should be closer to a window (it’s now 6 ft from an east facing window). Would this grow light help or be too much? This is the dimmest setting, if anyone has tips before I start using it I would hate to backtrack any progress I’ve made so far! #Philodendron #PrinceofOrange

I love this plant. It gives you beautiful colors throughout the year. BUT the second the sun starts to go away or it gets cold the plant stops growing, browns, and the leaves fall. It sucks trying to keep it alive during the winter but it’s exciting to see new leaves grow during the spring and summer.

He’s just beautiful. New leaves start of orange and turn green as they get older - it’s probably my favourite philodendron that I have so far

I bought this plant probably about 2 months ago and this is EXACTLY how it looked when I bought it. It hasn’t changed at all since I purchased it. It hasn’t dropped any leaves, gotten any more brown spots, or even had any new growth. I guess it’s just content with what I’ve given it so a boost will bring about new growth. I’m going to try fertilizing it soon and maybe giving it a little more light.

I thought I wanted a Pink Prince$$ because it looks so pretty, but I think the Prince of Orange is TOTALLY underrated. I love it! It grows so quickly and it's put up with all the rough-housing that goes on at my place (it has been knocked over twice). It's survival of the fittest at this house. When the leaves unfurl, it's so colorful! When the older leaves settle in, it really is stunning. The stems are a beautiful red. There's nothing I don't like about this plant!
