If you want something colorful and unique, the Orange Marmalade Philodendron is for you. This cultivar is a rare houseplant, also known as the Philodendron Quadcolor. New foliage emerges as a mottled orange, transitions into bronzy gold, and settles into light green with flecks of orange. The stems have a reddish-orange hue for even more color. The Orange Marmalade Philodendron is a hybrid created from a Philodendron Prince of Orange and Painted Lady.
Best Locations For Growing Orange Marmalade Philodendron
The Orange Marmalade Philodendron requires a spot with plenty of sunlight, and increased humidity is a bonus. This Philodendron can happily live in any room of a home and makes a stunning addition to a living room, bedroom, or office. Keep this plant away from curious kids or pets because all Philodendrons are toxic if ingested.
Orange Marmalade Philodendron Sunlight Requirements
Increased sunlight is necessary for the Philodendron Quadcolor to look its best and maintain its lovely colors. The plant needs medium to bright, indirect light. A spot close to an east- or west-facing window or several feet away from a south-facing window will provide plenty of light. Keep this plant out of direct sunlight, which will burn the foliage.
Orange Marmalade Philodendron Care
The Orange Marmalade Philodendron is a self-heading plant that climbs in its native habitat. Give this plant a moss pole or trellis so it can climb and display its stunning foliage. Repot every one to two years as the plant outgrows its pot or depletes the soil. Use rich, moist, well-drained, and slightly acidic soil.
Watering Orange Marmalade Philodendron
This Philodendron has medium water requirements, so water it when the top few inches of potting soil are dry. Expect to water every 7 to 10 days based on the soil’s dryness. The plant will need water less frequently during the winter.
The Orange Marmalade Philodendron can live and do well in average humidity, although slightly increased humidity is preferred. Extra dampness in the air will keep the colorful foliage vibrant and lush.
Feeding Orange Marmalade Philodendron
Fertilize your Orange Marmalade Philodendron using a balanced plant food with an NPK ratio close to 10-10-10 or 20-20-20. A balanced formula provides all the nutrients the Philodendron needs to thrive and grow new leaves. Using a water-soluble plant food is often easier because it can be combined with routine watering. Feed the Orange Marmalade Philodendron every four weeks when the plant is actively growing.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
