Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Philodendron Prince of Orange climb? No, it is a compact, upright variety — it does not climb or trail, unlike Philodendron Scandens or Micans.
How can I intensify the orange colors of a Philodendron Prince of Orange? Place it near a well-lit window facing east or west — it is the bright indirect light that determines the intensity of the orange on each new shoot.

🟠 New flaming orange leaves • 🎨 Evolving coppery foliage • ☀️ Bright indirect light • 💧 Moderate watering • 🏙️ 3 sizes available
The Philodendron 'Prince of Orange' is a hybrid variety native to the tropical forests of Central and South America, grown for its spectacular evolving foliage. Each new leaf emerges in bright orange, gradually turns bronze copper, then green — continuously offering a gradient of warm colors on the same plant. Find it in the Philodendron collection.
Its compact habit and changing foliage make it a captivating plant to watch over weeks — a true living plant show for bright interiors, well explained in our article on the choice between Philodendron and Monstera.
Which Philodendron variety to choose?
The Philodendron genus offers incredible diversity — all varieties are available in the Philodendron collection. Here’s how the Philodendron 'Prince of Orange' stands out from the others:
- Philodendron 'Prince of Orange' (this plant) — new leaves flaming orange turning to copper then green, compact habit, permanently evolving foliage. The most spectacular colorful version.
- Philodendron Birkin — dark green leaves striped with white, compact and graphic habit. The structured variegated version.
- Philodendron Green Princess — glossy solid green foliage, compact habit, very easy. The classic green version.
- Philodendron Imperial Red — spectacular burgundy-red leaves, imposing habit. The imperial red version.
- Philodendron Imperial Green — large shiny emerald green leaves, majestic habit. The imposing green version.
- Philodendron Melanochrysum — dark green velvety leaves with light veins, climbing habit. The luxurious velvet version.
- Philodendron Micans — bronze-green velvety leaves, trailing or climbing habit. The accessible velvet climbing version.
- Philodendron Scandens 'Brasil' — climbing vine with heart-shaped leaves variegated green and yellow. The colorful climbing version.
Exposure & location
The Philodendron 'Prince of Orange' needs bright indirect light to fully express its colors. In too dark a spot, new leaves lose their bright orange and emerge green — a sign the plant lacks light. The balance of light and humidity is key to maintaining the intensity of the warm tones.
- Exposure: bright indirect light — avoid direct sun that burns the young colored leaves.
- Location: bright shelf, desk, living room near an east- or west-facing window.
- Temperature: 18–27 °C, without sudden changes or drafts.
- Humidity: ideally 60–70% — mist occasionally.
If new leaves emerge green without orange tones, it’s a sign the plant lacks light — move it to a brighter spot and the colors will return with the next growth.
Watering & care
The Philodendron 'Prince of Orange' prefers a slightly moist substrate between waterings — let the top 2 to 3 centimeters dry out before watering again. Excess water causes leaf yellowing, as detailed in our guide on watering indoor plants.
- Frequency: once a week in spring-summer, reduced in winter.
- Drainage: essential — pot with drainage holes and well-draining substrate.
- Fertilizer: once a month in spring-summer, diluted liquid fertilizer.
- Cleaning: gently wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to preserve their shine.
Turn the pot a quarter turn every two weeks so all leaves receive even light — this ensures balanced growth and uniform colors across the plant.
Decor ideas & plant pairings
The orange, copper, and green tones of the Philodendron 'Prince of Orange' bring immediate warmth to bright interiors. Its evolving foliage makes it a living focal point that changes appearance week by week.
- On a bright shelf, slide it into the Gabriel round white ceramic pot Ø14 cm — the matte white highlights the orange and copper tones without competing with the evolving colors of the foliage.
- For a warm and natural match, place it in the Gabriel ochre ceramic Ø14 cm — the warmth of the matte ochre naturally complements the orange and copper tones of the foliage for a very harmonious set.
- For an effective color contrast, pair it with a Calathea Medallion — the dark green and graphic patterns of the Calathea highlight the orange and copper of the Prince of Orange in a refined tropical composition.
- For a lively plant shelf, pair it with a Maranta Fascinator — the green and pink patterns of the Maranta complement the warm tones of the Prince of Orange in a soft, tropical, semi-shaded arrangement.
To create a coherent tropical atmosphere, pair the Prince of Orange with plants that like the same bright indirect light.
Verdeia tips
- Maximize light for intense colors: this is the most important factor — a well-lit window facing east or west guarantees bright orange new leaves with every growth.
- Wipe the leaves regularly: dust blocks the stomata and dulls the shine of the copper tones — a monthly damp cloth is enough to maintain color vibrancy and improve photosynthesis.
- Rotate the pot every two weeks: the Prince of Orange grows toward the light — regular rotation ensures a compact and balanced shape, and even colors on all leaves.
