🌞 Light & Placement
This Philodendron thrives in bright, indirect light. Too much direct sun can scorch its delicate orange leaves, while too little light will reduce its vibrant colour. Place it near an east- or west-facing window in your flat for best results.
💧 Water & Humidity
Keep the soil lightly moist but never soggy. Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feel dry. Like most tropicals, it appreciates higher humidity, but it will also adapt well to average European indoor climates. Mist occasionally in winter when heating dries the air.
🪴 Soil & Potting
Use a well-draining aroid mix with added perlite or orchid bark to prevent root rot. Repot your baby 'Prince of Orange' into a slightly larger pot every 1–2 years as it matures.
🐾 Toxicity & Safety
Not pet-safe. Like most Philodendrons, this plant contains calcium oxalates that can irritate cats, dogs, and small children if ingested. Place it out of reach if you share your home with curious companions.
🌱 Growth & Propagation
Expect a compact, bushy growth habit, with leaves emerging in a vibrant orange crown. Over time, the plant reaches up to 60–80 cm in height indoors. You can propagate through stem cuttings once it has matured.
📆 Seasonal & Special Care
During the active growing season (spring and summer), fertilise monthly with a balanced houseplant fertiliser. In autumn and winter, reduce watering and skip feeding to let the plant rest.
🐛 Common Issues
-
Brown leaf tips: Usually from dry air – mist occasionally.
-
Fading colour: Move to brighter indirect light.
-
Yellowing leaves: Often a sign of overwatering.
