Philodendron 'Prince of Orange'

The 'Prince of Orange' is a colorful variety of the Philodendron family of plants that gets its name from its hued leaves that change color over time; new leaves unfurl orange and gradually change to a pale green color as they mature. Unlike most other Philodendron, this one grows leaves from its center rather than from vines or stems. This plant does best in medium to bright indirect light yet can tolerate periods of low light. It is tolerant of average household humidity and temperatures, and is generally easy to care for.
