How to care for a Philodendron 'Prince of Orange'
Watering
Philodendron 'Prince of Orange' prefers an evenly moist substrate, without its roots sitting in stagnant water. Water about once a week, depending on the room temperature and humidity. Always check the top 2 cm of the potting soil first; if it feels dry, it's time to water. For added convenience, you can also use our Elho watering can.
Light
Philodendron 'Prince of Orange' thrives in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can burn the young orange leaves and cause brown spots. Place the plant near an east- or west-facing window, or use a sheer curtain to filter the sunlight. If there's too little light, the leaves will lose their desired color tones and the plant will grow less compactly.

Frequently occurring problems
Yellow leaves
Yellow leaves on your Philodendron 'Prince of Orange' often indicate overwatering or insufficient light. Check the moisture in the potting soil and adjust your watering routine to prevent the plant from getting wet feet. If necessary, move the plant to a brighter location to restore its color and health.
Plant dripping moisture
If water droplets appear on the leaves, this is guttation, a normal process when humidity is very high. Reduce the humidity or improve ventilation in the room. Avoid drips on furniture by placing a saucer under the pot.
Pests
Spider mites and aphids, in particular, can nest on young leaves. Check the lower leaf edges weekly and treat any infestations with our jungle mist spray or take a look at our blog about pest control. Regular dusting with a microfiber dusting glove keeps your plant healthy.
Roots emerge from the soil
When roots grow out of the drainage holes, the plant is ready for repotting. Choose a pot one size larger and use 5L potting mix for aroids for optimal drainage and nutrition. Repot in spring, if preferred, for the best chance of recovery.
Brown edges on the leaves
Brown leaf edges often indicate low humidity or excessive direct sunlight. Increase humidity by using a humidifier, grouping houseplants together, or placing the plant on a damp pebble tray. Avoid direct sunlight from the window to prevent leaf burn.
Many plant enthusiasts combine the Philodendron 'Prince of Orange' with other tropical favorites like Monstera Deliciosa, Epipremnum Pinnatum Aureum, and Aglaonema Green Lady to create a vibrant urban jungle effect. Browse our selection at deplantrekkers.com for even more inspiration!
