Philodendron erubescens 'Orange Princess'

Philodendron ‘Orange Princess’ is a striking cultivar prized for its bold, sunset-hued foliage. Young leaves emerge in shades of copper, amber, and burnt orange before deepening into rich greens as they mature. This ever-changing display creates a dynamic contrast that makes it a standout addition to any collection. Like many Philodendrons, ‘Orange Princess’ is adaptable and easygoing, thriving in bright, indirect light with consistent humidity.

Notable Features:

• Brilliant Foliage Transformation: New leaves unfurl in warm shades of orange and fade to green, creating a multi-tonal effect.
• Compact, Self-Heading Growth: Unlike vining Philodendrons, ‘Orange Princess’ maintains an upright, bushy habit.
• Resilient and Adaptable: Tolerant of a range of indoor conditions, though higher humidity enhances coloration.
• Collector’s Favorite: Its dramatic color shifts make it a unique and sought-after addition to any plant enthusiast’s collection.

Interesting Facts:

• The intensity of its orange hues is influenced by light exposure; brighter conditions encourage more vivid tones.
• Like other Philodendrons, it naturally purifies the air, making it a functional and beautiful choice for indoor spaces.
• Unlike Philodendron ‘Prince of Orange,’ ‘Orange Princess’ develops deeper, richer orange tones and retains a more structured, non-vining form.

Humidity Needs:

Moderate to high humidity (50% or more) helps maintain vibrant foliage. If your space is dry, consider using a pebble tray, humidifier, or grouping plants together to boost ambient moisture.
