How to Grow Philodendron Oranges
Philodendron oranges, more commonly called Philodendron "Prince of Orange," are tropical plants usually grown indoors. This philodendron cultivar grows up to 2 feet tall and has wide leaves that are a vibrant orange when they form. As the leaves age, they gradually change to pale green. Philodendron oranges do best in indirect, bright light but will survive even in dim locations. They prefer daytime temperatures of 70 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit and require frequent watering.
