Prince of Orange, like the imperials, is an upright type with vibrant leaves that start off brilliant orange and eventually turn light green. The leaves of this unusual-looking plant are tightly grouped around a central stem, and the new leaf spears and leafstalk are a vibrant, deep red hue. The prince of orange may survive in shaded areas but prefers moderate to brilliant indirect sunshine.

Turn the dirt. In many situations, philodendrons may thrive without soil, however they do require a very aerated growing medium.<br> 2. Hold the cuttings in place. Set a wooden stick in the pot approximately one inch (2.56 cm) below the surface and support the cutting with it.<br> 3. Choose a warm, shady location for your pot.<br> 4. While young philodendron cuttings require regular irrigation, overwatering the plant can lead to root rot, so it is not recommended.
In NASA's Clean Air Study, its ability to eliminate air contaminants like formaldehyde was also demonstrated.
