Philodendron 'Prince of Orange'

Philodendron 'Prince of Orange' is a self-heading Philodendron grown for its colour-changing new leaves. Fresh growth opens bright orange, then moves through apricot and yellow-green before maturing to medium green. The colour is strongest on new leaves, so the plant carries its warmest tones at the centre of active growth rather than across every older leaf.

This cultivar forms a compact rosette-like crown with short internodes and thick petioles. It does not need a moss pole to show its natural shape. The leaves rise from a central growing point, creating a full plant that suits pot culture well when the roots are kept aerated and the crown is not buried too deeply.

Orange new leaves and a self-heading crown

  • Growth habit: Self-heading Philodendron with a compact crown and very short internodes.
  • Leaf colour: New leaves emerge orange, then mature through apricot and yellow-green into green.
  • Leaf shape: Narrowly ovate leaves with a glossy surface and entire margins.
  • Support needs: No climbing support required; the plant is naturally crown-forming.

Patent background and leaf colour stages

USPP6797, “Philodendron plant named Prince of Orange,” was filed on 21 January 1988 and published on 16 May 1989. The patent describes a stocky, compact, self-heading Philodendron with bright orange new leaves maturing through apricot and yellow-green to green.

The patent names Howard N. Miller as inventor and Cora McColley of Orlando, Florida as assignee. Its breeding background is complex, involving Philodendron domesticum, Philodendron erubescens, Philodendron wendlandii, Philodendron imbe and Philodendron cannifolium within the breeding line. The resulting plant is a compact self-heading Philodendron selected for warm new-leaf colour, short internodes and a rosette-like crown.

The colour change is normal leaf development. Older green leaves are the mature stage of the leaf, while the strongest orange appears on fresh growth. Very harsh light can scorch new leaves, and weak conditions usually slow the production of fresh colour.

Care for orange new growth and compact crowns

  • Light: Give bright, indirect light to support healthy new growth. Avoid hot direct sun, especially on fresh orange leaves.
  • Watering: Water when the upper substrate has dried. The compact crown is sensitive to waterlogged roots, so drainage matters more than frequent watering.
  • Substrate: Use an airy aroid mix with bark, perlite or pumice and a moisture-retentive organic base. The mix should drain freely while staying lightly moist after watering.
  • Humidity: Moderate household humidity is usually tolerated, but steadier humidity helps new leaves expand smoothly from the crown.
  • Temperature: Keep warm, ideally 18–27°C. Avoid cold wet conditions around the roots.
  • Potting: Use a pot with drainage and avoid burying the crown. Repot only when roots fill the pot, moving up gradually in size.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth. A gentle, regular feed supports leaf production without pushing soft, weak growth.

Colour, crown and root issues to check

  • Older leaves turning green: This is normal maturity. Look at the colour of new growth when judging the plant’s condition.
  • Weak orange colour on new leaves: Check whether the plant is too cool or too far from bright indirect light. New growth shows the clearest colour when growth is active.
  • Yellowing lower leaves: Check root moisture, drainage and pot size. A dense wet mix can stress the roots.
  • Brown marks on new leaves: Move the plant away from direct sun or intense grow lights. Soft new tissue damages easily.
  • Crown rot risk: Keep water out of the central crown and avoid planting too deeply. Good airflow around the crown helps after watering.

Pet safety and handling

Philodendron 'Prince of Orange' is not pet-safe and should not be ingested. Leaves, stems and sap contain calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth, throat and digestive tract. Keep trimmed leaves away from pets and wash hands after pruning.

Name origin and botanical background

Philodendron is an aroid genus in the family Araceae, with a name derived from Greek words meaning “loving trees”. The cultivar name 'Prince of Orange' refers directly to the orange colour of the emerging leaves, the colour of the emerging leaves.

Philodendron 'Prince of Orange' forms a compact self-heading crown with orange new leaves that mature through warm green tones.

Bummed they fell apart they are super cute
Size: 12-18 Months Toddler, Color: Raiden Camel Suede, Size: 12-18 Months Toddler, Color: Raiden Camel Suede
I’m so bummed because these shoes are so cute and highly rated but mine fell apart after only a few wears. They say light outdoor activities and I would assume they mean walking up and down the block in the neighborhood. My son is only 15 months old and doesn’t walk fast or far at all so it’s really disappointing they fell apart.

Love love love Robeez. Best soft soled shoes for baby/toddler just learning to walk.
Size: 12-18 Months Toddler, Color: Grey Leather
I can’t even tell you how much I love these shoes for my kids. My oldest son born 2018 had a pair of Robeez, the shark kind, and I’ve passed them down through all my boys until now- now somehow one of them has gone missing, still looking. So we got these for baby and oh my gosh Robeez has upped their game! The soles are still soft enough to be pliable but have some structure to them, they fit softly enough to accommodate round chubby feet but again have some structure, and they look adorable. The quality is really high and that’s so wonderful to see this day and age when so many things are produced cheaply. These are truly lovely. And they’re very handsome. My sweet boy wore them to a birthday party at the park and they were a hit. I love this brand so much, and these shoes are so cute. I wish I were having more kids to buy more cute pairs :)

The Perfect First Shoe! Worth the Price.
My little one was just starting the stand/learning to walk and we wanted something to protect his feet while we were out of the house. Since babies/toddlers grow out of their shoes so quickly, I tried desperately to find shoes that didn't cost more than $20. However, I tried about 6 different "cheaper" shoes, all different brands, and nothing would stay on my babies feet. I finally broke down and bought these shoes and they are perfect. I ended up wasting more money trying not to spend too much money on shoes that would be too small after a couple months. It would have been cheaper for me to just buy these shoes to start. Fit wise they are great. Super easy to put on. They stay on! I appreciate the rubber portion on the sole because it gave my little one more traction when he was learning to walk. They are light way and the sole is very flexible which is important for the proper development of their feet. I just wish they made larger sizes because I am going to have to start the hunt all over for the perfect shoe once he grows out of the biggest size that Robeez sells. Save yourself time and avoid wasting money on shoes that don't stay on. Just buy these shoes!
