Philodendron 'Prince of Orange' Care Guide
Lighting Conditions
The Philodendron 'Prince of Orange' thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate moderate light, more vibrant colors are achieved when placed in bright, filtered sunlight. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
Watering Requirements
Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Ensure the pot has proper drainage to avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Allow excess water to drain away after watering, and avoid letting the plant sit in standing water.
Temperature and Humidity Needs
This tropical beauty prefers temperatures between 65°F and 80°F (18°C to 27°C). It thrives in moderate to high humidity, making it a great addition to kitchens or bathrooms. Misting the leaves occasionally or placing a humidifier nearby can promote healthy growth.
Fertilizing and Growth
Feed your Philodendron 'Prince of Orange' with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Regular fertilization helps maintain the vibrant color of its foliage.
Repotting and Maintenance
Repot the plant every 1-2 years or when it outgrows its container. Choose a pot with good drainage to support healthy root development. Trim any yellow or damaged leaves to encourage fresh growth and maintain a tidy appearance.
