Philodendron 'Prince of Orange'

Philodendron Prince of Orange is one of the most dynamic and color-changing plants in the Philodendron world. Every new leaf that emerges is a different color — starting as a vivid starburst yellow, then warming to copper and burnt orange, and finally maturing to deep, rich green. At any given time the plant displays multiple stages of this color journey at once, creating a living, ever-shifting display that no other Philodendron quite replicates. It is a self-heading hybrid that grows upright and full without needing a trellis.

Good for beginners? Yes. Prince of Orange is easygoing, adaptable, and communicates clearly when it needs water. It is one of the most rewarding Philodendrons for new plant owners because the color changes make every week feel like something new is happening.

Safe for cats and dogs? Philodendrons are toxic to pets if ingested. Keep out of reach of cats and dogs, or explore our pet-safe plant collection.

Light needs: Bright indirect light produces the most vivid orange and copper tones on new growth. In lower light the new leaves emerge with less saturated color and transition faster to green. Avoid direct sun which can scorch the leaves.

Care at a glance: Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Feed monthly in spring and summer. As a self-heading variety it grows outward rather than trailing — give it space to spread. Wipe leaves to keep them glossy.
