Best Locations For Growing Prince Of Orange Philodendron
This tropical plant loves to be in any environment with plenty of warmth and humidity. Place your plant near a bright window on the east or west side of your home. If it needs a boost of humidity, just set it next to a kitchen or bathroom sink. Make sure you position your plant in an area where it can be fully appreciated in all its glory!
Prince Of Orange Philodendron Sunlight Requirements
Ensure that your Philodendron Prince of Orange gets around 6 hours of filtered bright light per day. Giving your plant sufficient light will encourage more vibrant colors and vigorous growth. Direct bright light can scorch the leaves on this plant so avoid a southern exposure.
Prince Of Orange Philodendron Care
Philodendrons will grow best when planted in well-draining soil. Ideally the blend would be made of equal parts orchid bark, perlite, and peat moss to get a nice fluffy mix. Prince of Orange Philodendron will only need to be repotted when it’s rootbound. Since it requires minimal maintenance, new gardeners will love having it as a houseplant!
Watering Prince Of Orange Philodendron
Keep the soil for this Philodendron evenly moist but not soggy. To avoid overwatering, use a container with adequate drainage like a terracotta pot. Philodendrons love high temperatures and humidity to mimic their natural tropical environment in South America. Prince of Orange Philodendron prefers a humid environment but is able to live in arid rooms with the help of moisture from a humidity tray or mister.
Feeding Prince Of Orange Philodendron
Generally, you will only need to feed your Philodendron with fertilizer diluted to half the strength recommended on the label about every 2-3 weeks. Use a balanced houseplant fertilizer or orchid formula for best results. This plant won’t normally need to be fertilized over the winter when growth slows.

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.
