How to read these values

These care values give practical guidance for growing the plant. Adjust care for pot size, substrate, temperature and how quickly the substrate dries.

For more detail, read the full product description or visit our Plant Care Guides.

Light: level and approximate lux at leaf level.
Watering: “% dry” shows how far the substrate should dry before watering again.
Substrate: structure, drainage, moisture retention, base material and particle size.
Temperature: “Ideal” shows the preferred range; “Avoid below” marks the cold-stress threshold.
Humidity: target range; steady conditions usually matter more than exact numbers.

Growth habit: how the plant grows, such as upright, climbing, trailing, clumping or rosette-forming.
Support: whether a stake, pole or trellis is needed, optional or unnecessary.
Growth speed: expected pace under suitable growing conditions; use as a guide, not a promise.

Cultivated size guide: approximate dimensions for an established plant in the stated growing context. Height is measured upwards from the growing surface; foliage height excludes flower stems. Trailing length follows a stem, while foliage drop is the vertical distance from the crown to the lowest leaf tips. Spread is the width of the leafy plant or crown, not an individual leaf. Flowering height includes the flower stems. A container guide applies to pot-grown plants; an in-ground guide applies to plants rooted in the ground. Size also depends on age, conditions, pot space and training.

These figures do not describe the size supplied and are not fixed upper limits.

Toxicity & safety: irritation, toxicity or physical hazards such as spines or bristles.
Origin & habitat: native range, hybrid background or typical habitat where relevant.
Outdoor growing: when a potted indoor plant can be placed outside and what outdoor protection it needs.

Plant care

How to care for Philodendron ‘Orange Princess’

Support: Keep the plant free-standing while the stem remains short and stable. If an older stem lengthens and begins to lean, add light support and secure the stem loosely.
Handling: Wait until a new leaf is firm before moving or cleaning it, and support the leaf from below.
Light: Give the plant bright filtered light so its green tissue can support steady growth, and protect pale orange and cream areas from hot direct sun.
Watering: Let the upper part of the mix begin to dry, then soak the root ball and drain it completely.
Potting mix: Use a coarse aroid mix that stays open after watering and keeps air around the roots.
Temperature and humidity: The plant grows comfortably at 18–29 °C and should not remain below 15 °C for long. Keep the surrounding air in the 50–60% range.
Feeding: During fresh leaf and stem development, use complete fertiliser at a measured rate; then taper the feed as the plant slows down.
Repotting: Increase pot size when roots crowd the container. If the plant becomes unstable first, secure the pot and any support before deciding whether more root space is needed.

Issues & solutions

Common problems with Philodendron ‘Orange Princess’

Cream or orange tissue turns brown: Check the side facing the strongest light and the moisture deeper in the pot. Move the plant out of direct sun if the damage faces the window. If the root ball is genuinely dry, water it thoroughly and let it drain; avoid extra water when the mix is still moist
The plant wilts in wet substrate: Stop watering and make sure the pot can drain. If the wilt continues, inspect the roots. Keep all firm healthy roots. If sections are clearly rotten, mushy or foul-smelling, cut only those back to firm tissue with disinfected scissors and discard the decay. Replace persistently waterlogged substrate with fresh, airy mix and repot. The root-rot guide covers the rest of the recovery
Silvery scarring or black specks on new leaves: Inspect new growth and leaf undersides for thrips. If you confirm thrips, separate the plant and use only a treatment labelled for thrips and indoor ornamental plants, repeating exactly as directed.
