Blushing Philodendron, Prince of Orange, or something els...

This is not a new plant, but anyway: I saw a new leaf coming in, and then I wondered: what is this thing? I guessed blushing philodendron a while back, but I literally can't tell. The new leaf is a shade that I can't really tell between being pink and reddish-orange. Also, I noticed one of the leaves had these orange spots. I almost think blushing philodendron, but I literally can't tell at this point.

By the way, I moved her next to Biophilia because she showed no signs of pests or disease for the month or so that I've had her.

@Catplantaddict your leaves look very similar to my Blushing Philodendron. I think mine is also an Orange Prince but I canโ€™t be sure. The leaves open up an orangy red and then turn a reddish green. Donโ€™t mind the state of my plant. He needs pruning badly. I just havenโ€™t gotten to him yet
@Shells_Garden interesting. About the pruning, I'm kinda the opposite ๐Ÿ˜…. Here's images of my Creeping-Inch plant. The blurry photo was yesterday. Today, I woke up and was kinda bored, so I pruned it to see how much it would grow this spring. Now, this is what it looks like. A lot neater, but I took a lot off of it.
@PoisedAlbo really? I never knew that.
@Catplantaddict it looks wonderful and so full. Mine always seemed to be empty in the middle with lots of long leggy strands hanging down. I think you did it right. It will be growing like crazy by Spring. Have you ever been successful at propagating? Iโ€™ve tried 3 times and failed. Once in water and once direct in soil covered with a plastic bag. The 3rd time, I rooted in water again, planted in soil when the roots were 2 inches long and it died a few weeks later!
@PoisedAlbo thank you! Believe it or not, I bought that plant in a 10 inch pot at the 99 Cent Store last year for $14.99. He is one of my favorites.
@Shells_Garden I'm currently trying to propagate some of it, and it grew roots in only 5 or so days!
@Shells_Garden HOLY GUAC HOLD MY MOLY!!! This is insane! Are you serious! You grew this with your own two hands?!?!! Congratulations ๐Ÿซก๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿคฉ you are a star, a whisper, a plant guru!! Thank you sm for sharing!! Just wow ๐Ÿ˜ฎ ๐Ÿคฉ
@PoisedAlbo wooooa dude @Catplantaddict isnโ€™t the prince of orange like super rare?!?๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ˜ฒ๐Ÿง
@PoisedAlbo i thot blushing refers to Philodendron erubescens? That's what i use anyways. And any erubescens cultivar ie. Imperial Red, Malay/Imperial Gold
@Prentyce I never knew POO was rare! I am new to philodendron, so I pretty much know nothing about them ๐Ÿ˜
