I really appreciate these honest reviews in this series. I have 2 of these but they aren't very old. I am in the US in a rural area and we don't often get cool plants around here. I bought them as plugs from a seller on Etsy. I absolutely adore them so far. I planted them in my custom aroid mix and because they are tiny and I am still learning I have them in clear cups i put drainage holes in. For every 3 new visible roots in the cup, I'm getting a leaf. They acclimated quite easily to my growing conditions.
Great thanks. Pls add category The style of the growth. (Falling climbing and so on) and information about the current size of the pot its in right now for its size. And the most important thing. How often have u repoted it. If a plant needs to be repoted too often i will think again weather to buy it. Please add this to ur wonderful reviews Thanks dear
I don't have a Prince of Orange, I have a Red Sun. They are so similar, so it was a lot of fun watching your video. Mine is also prone to tipping over. In my experience the rosette shaped philodendron tend to do that when you re-pot them. I don't know if they like to be buried a bit further than normal or if they always need support sticks. All in all I would also give it a 7 in a review. It's so beautiful and easy to care for. When all surrounding plants got thrips, it stayed clean. But also it's not the most exciting plant. It tends to do its thing and I appreciate it. As speed of growth: I got a babyplant and the leaves were around 4cm, so really small. 9 months later the newest leaf is 20cm long
This topped my wishlist for a while. I could only manage to get a baby and it did nothing. I wasnt sure if it was just that plant and so got another baby and a small Red Sun. Neither of my PoO did anything for and I ended up giving those away. My Red Sun has been a low maintenance easy grower, but I must say it has never been a favourite... possibly because I always really wanted a good sized Prince of Orange 😢 Perhaps I should buy a decent size one, now that they arent as popular 🤔
Love this series. I have my prince of orange in well draining soil, under a grow light for 12 hours and it’s doing great. I just had to move it because it’s getting a little bigger. I’m in So. CA and my house is around 50-60% humidity.
Love these videos, as your collection is gorgeous, and your knowledge of them is incredibly valuable. Thank you. My experience with my PoO is similar, though I've only had mine 1 1/2 years. I adore it's colouring, it adds that pop of colour and visual interest to my indoor jungle. I have it in a chunky aroid mix, under a sansi light, but to the right of a North facing window. I find as it aged the colour of the leaves have gone a richer red-orange, and the leaves retain the red at the edges and the undersides - NOTE: I've always given it good indirect light. It did do something weird a couple of months ago (a month or so after a spring up-pot to a deeper & wider plastic pot). The newest leaf came in half the size as the others, so I took that as my cue to chop it. It was doing the slanting/leaning/crawling growth thing, so now it's forced it to form a new growth point down the stem, and is now growing more upright. Oh, one other thing is mine pupped last year, so when I potted up I rescued the wonky little baby from under mama, and now I have 3. 😉
Awwww so glad that you are enjoying these videos 😊💚🌿 awesome experience you had too and glad it is not just mine that can be a bit weird in its growth some time. Very interesting what happened with the up pot too. So jealous, still hoping against hope for a pup from mine... maybe one day soon 🤞
I'm in Australia (Melbourne so we're not far off UK weather in spring) and the Prince of Orange happens to be one of my favourite philodenrens. I recommend propping it and moving it to somewhere a bit more sunny so the orange leaves become more vibrant and stays compact. In spring it can go a bit bannanas growth-wise (i grow in soil & a type of pumice grit) and it's pumping out leaves all over the place - it's had about 7 since just before September and it's got more coming in... so yeah it can be a crazy grower in decent house lighting (I have no greenhouse or anything it sits on my desk with a bunch of my other philodenrens and it grows faster than my Micans and Brazil which are also fast growers. up north many have these growing in gardens, they can get HUGE if you let them!
In my experience my "POO" is always getting stuck or deformed leaves unless in high humidity. Also new leaves can come out more red in higher light(?)and more orange in lower light. And yes I've confirmed it is indeed a POO 😜
My 3rd PofO has done well for a year now. Have a fairly dry home, plant in soil ~4 from S. Facing window (northern hemisphere). First one, had root rot, probably my fault as new to philodendrons. Replaced it a year later, but a nursery sent a tiny plug planted in a 4” pot and that was already rotting. Sigh. Then bought one for USD 20 from a very reputable nursery October 2021 and this one is doing great! Love the colourful leaves, there are two reddish ones today. Plant is sizing up, so will probably not buy any more philodendrons with this spreading growth pattern as circumference getting too large for my space. Love this series, so helpful!
Awww wow that is a long journey with this plant, glad the current one is doing so well, but yeah I echo the thought they can take up so much space due to their growth pattern 😊
I've loved the orange leaves on these for a long time, and wondered if I'd like it as a plant... I haven't seen many larger ones, so I wasn't sure if it would still be orange. I love the look of yours, so thanks for the info on it! :)
Hey Charlie, of course, I fully get that, part of the reason for doing this review series, I am the same sometimes when on the fence, it's always good to see a mature plant 😊
Bought it ages ago as small baby plant . To be honest it came not in best condition and did die in the end . But now I off to Google to hunt for one . Round no2 incoming 🤣😊
I have had my Prince of Orange baby for 1 year. I have almost killed him back to 1 leaf but since placing him on the stereo cabinet in a Western windows he’s doing great. The orange is fantastic and the leaves are getting larger as we speak. I love the many different hues the leaves go through before the end phase of “green”. It looks like a different plant all the time. Planted in airy soil and it grows fast regardless what Substrat. I suggest to keep turning it to promote a round shape. Very easy to care for. I would suggest buying a baby because they grow very fast and can take more abuse. I call mine Lazarus because I brought him from the dead. Only paid 5€ in Germany. Love the content of your channel.
Bought a plug plant bare root from a private seller almost two years ago. Put it in aroid potting mix in a warm and bright growtent and it did not do anything, not even a single leaf, for almost a year. Once it got going it did not stop. Slow-ish but very steadily putting out larger and larger leaves now. Very happy with it.
Awww, yeah that is so interesting to hear, i got mine and it was quite established, so was not too sure with smaller plants if they are slow to get going, but based on what you are saying and also other commenters, i would imagine this is normal, when it gets to a certain size it really does start to speed up.
I just watched two of your reviews, checked out your channel, and I subbed. Fantastic honest reviews. I don’t have this plant, but I would take one if it was offered or if I found it easily/had spare cash to try it based on your review. I love philodendrons, so I’m definitely tempted.
Awww thank you so much and welcome to the gang 💚 🌿 glad you are enjoying the content. Yeah this is definately a great Philodendron to try if you come accross it 😊
I love my prince of orange, nice to see this video, I found mine as a baby about 3 years ago, made some first time plant parent mistakes, that I realize now but the plant took it in stride. Was slow grower at first but has started taking off now , I added a grow light to the corner its in and I can't believe how bright orange the leaves come out now, I'm in awe of how orange actually , its cool. The humidity is higher now too both from the amount of plants and a humidifier ( 50-60%). Still in a rosette form for the most part and shooting nice air roots out now too. Hopefully it keeps going well because I actually like it more now then before. Seen some gorgeous large ones for about 50$ canadian for a 10" pot, easier to find here for sure.
I got it 2 years ago, it was a mini plants. It was 49sek €4,45 which is still a price you can get them for but 90sek €8 is more common for a mini. It was about 5 cm at height when I bought it, repotted it 3-4 times, now it’s 15 cm tall and 25 cm wide. I don’t know if that is slow. I notice a big difference after I placed it on top of the soil of my alocasia “Dragon Scale”. I wanted to have it under light an there were no space unless I pot it on the soil, so out of superstition I always have these two next to each other now. No extra humidity. (I had a other “Prince of Orange” I had in semihydro, did not work for me. Nothing happened.) Knock on wood no pests (yet). I like him, a little wobbly, in homemade aroid mix. Wormcasting and fish emulsion. Thanks for the video, so nice to hear other peoples experiences with the same plant!
Awww thank you so much for sharing your experience, see your experience with semi hydro is why i was so cautious to not move mine into semi hydro, but maybe it was because it was very mature that it did not mind it. But glad yours is growing happily. 💚🌿
I bought my 8” plant in January at Home Depot for 20 CAD and realized it was infested with spider mites, I chopped a lot of the orange leaves off and treated/isolated it for a month. It has been through a lot and it sure looks like it. I now have a much smaller, more green foliage plant than I wanted but I am being patient and taking care of it as best as I can cause the orange is just so beautiful.
I have a Birkin which I love, and am really looking forward to acquiring the Prince of Orange. I have about thirty plants on my wishlist, and the price of Orange is in the top. So pretty!
I pay , think she wash 40 cm the leafs in the Netherlands 68 euro and for a younger one 12,50.... I always us earth for the plants for young plants for the roots because it is always doing great by every plant 🍀☀️💞🙏 greating from the Netherlands 🇳🇱🧀🌷 and thank you for sharing ☀️🍀🙏
Thank you for another interesting video - these reviews are really helpful. Please, could you do also a review on some of your alocasias? I see a cool alocasia right behind you (is it azlanii or cuprea? isn´t it new there on the self? :-) ) Sounds like the prince of orange is a cool plant to care for. I don´t have it, but I have been considering getting the red sun for a long time.
Awww, glad you are enjoying the series, yes good eye, that is an Azlanii behind me and yes it is new on the shelf, i have only had it for 6 months, now, so i want to wait until i have had it for a year and then i can put out a review, so i can also comment on how it performed over the winter, but yes definitely will do some reviews on my Alocasia too.
It's interesting to hear how different plants prices are accross the world. My Prince of Orange was under 20 USD when I bought it 2 1/2 years ago (possibly even 15 USD). It was a baby, but it sounds like it was still far cheaper than the European market at the time.
Red and orange prince phylodendrons used to be very common in big box stores in the 2000s and early 2010s Edit- I live in the southeast USA and they were from a nursery in Florida the same one pink princess was originally from actually. The owner is responsible for a shockingly large amount of hybrid philodendrons on the market today.
So glad to hear from you and the other commenter how slow this is to get started! I bought mine as a very tiny plant 8 months or so and now I have....a very tiny plant :( But now, I shall not lose hope! Thanks, and I love these review videos, so helpful
Oh i am glad these videos are helping, this is why I started creating them, there are a lot of videos of videos of people when they first get the plants, but nothing for months later, to say how they are doing.
I just found one of these on the clearance rack at a big box. It's January in Michigan and when I make a buy at this point I try to get slow growing specimens that won't go crazy being locked up in my sewing room until the weather breaks. Having had nothing but monotonous plain jane colorless charges like ivys and jades I'm trying to step out of my boring comfort zone and add any color I can get in the mix now. I work retail and know how fickle people are when it comes to associating a color or flavor with a holiday or season.......so I wait patiently for the markdowns to come and make my move ;o)
Hey Mimo. Had a small plant an it was wobbly in the soil, never could get it to stabilize. So it went bye bye. Gorgeous foliage on PoO an probably would pick up another if stable in soil. 💚
Awww yeah, see its that growing habit that can make them a bit awkward, but definitely something to keep an eye out for the future, if another one comes along.
I have that same problem with my Red Congo. It's massive and wobbly as heck (plus, there two plants in one pot). Thinking of reporting them separately and giving then a moss pole or something to make them a bit more stable, but idk. 🤔
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and your nerd joy, I really enjoy your videos! Just wanted to add that the link to your strongest grow light doesn't work quite right anymore 🤗
I've just got mine yesterday and I couldn't be more excited!!!! It is a juvenile, but it already has all the beautiful variations of colors and the best part? It was only $10!!! SQUEE! 🥰🥰🥰
Hi Memo...I do love the color of those leaves! I remember when I first saw them about the 2 years before you got yours... i REALLY wanted one....then i read it was a compact self header and I had visions of it turning into my Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum (the artist previously known as split leaf philo) which was taking up significant real estate in my plant room. Also the price on Ebay was still pretty high, so I decided on McColley"s finale. And honestly I'm so glad I did! It took a couple of years to become a climber, but now its 3 and a half feet tall, and its stem, cetaphylls and petioles are so red as are its roots! The leaves begin as cherry red then turn copper to green with the leaves veins still holding onto that red for awhile longer. It really looks like it's erubescens parent when it's not growing. Anyways thanks for the video! Enjoy the pup!
I love your truth on how long it took to get that large. Most will leave you believing you don't have the special touch. Knowledge that let's us new plantys know it takes awhile be patient. Thank you.
I have one - about a year old - been a challenge for me - probably conditions - intend to cautiously underwater Like you said - we all make mistakes and learn - love the videos

Great thanks. Pls add category
The style of the growth. (Falling climbing and so on) and information about the current size of the pot its in right now for its size.
And the most important thing. How often have u repoted it.
If a plant needs to be repoted too often i will think again weather to buy it.
Please add this to ur wonderful reviews
Thanks dear
Sure no problem good suggestions, I will try to add that to the reviews moving forward. 😊
I find this whole series really helpful! Thanks!

up north many have these growing in gardens, they can get HUGE if you let them!
I like my McColley's Finale for sure. Very similar but more reddish than orange. My PofO didn't make it. - mysteriously sickly. Thank you for you!
Oh no I am sorry to hear about your PofO. But good to know about Mccolley's finale, such a cool plant.
In my experience my "POO" is always getting stuck or deformed leaves unless in high humidity. Also new leaves can come out more red in higher light(?)and more orange in lower light. And yes I've confirmed it is indeed a POO 😜
Completely agree with all your points here and you can see from mine I have the same issue, with higher light red leaves, but defo POO

I bought a baby one for like 4€ at the end of last year. Until now it's pretty slow to grow, just like the red sun, I have both, both as babies.
Mine never acclimated to my dry space, never grew until finally it died. Knowing what I know now I’d love to buy another one when I come across one

I bought my first one a week ago. It's early summer here... and it's growing fast. Gotten at least 10 new leaves
I just found one of these on the clearance rack at a big box. It's January in Michigan and when I make a buy at this point I try to get slow growing specimens that won't go crazy being locked up in my sewing room until the weather breaks.

I just got one and had to repot it right away because of bugs.hopeing it will survive 😊.

I paid the equivalent of 4 pounds here in south africa for mine👀😅
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and your nerd joy, I really enjoy your videos! Just wanted to add that the link to your strongest grow light doesn't work quite right anymore 🤗
i got mine Yesterday ( I live in Germany ) and i paid 7 Euro for a good sized one
Lo I live in the SW of the UK and literally found one in a garden centre like a week ago 😆
Memo, I have a red Sun but can’t find much on RUclips. Is prince of orange effectively a similar plant with same care etc? Xx
I've just got mine yesterday and I couldn't be more excited!!!! It is a juvenile, but it already has all the beautiful variations of colors and the best part? It was only $10!!!
SQUEE! 🥰🥰🥰
Hi Memo...I do love the color of those leaves! I remember when I first saw them about the 2 years before you got yours... i REALLY wanted one....then i read it was a compact self header and I had visions of it turning into my Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum (the artist previously known as split leaf philo) which was taking up significant real estate in my plant room.

It took a couple of years to become a climber, but now its 3 and a half feet tall, and its stem, cetaphylls and petioles are so red as are its roots! The leaves begin as cherry red then turn copper to green with the leaves veins still holding onto that red for awhile longer. It really looks like it's erubescens parent when it's not growing. Anyways thanks for the video! Enjoy the pup!
This plant would be nice for the fall time. I spotted it at Trader Joes in February so I grabbed it. Thanks for the information on it.
I love your truth on how long it took to get that large. Most will leave you believing you don't have the special touch. Knowledge that let's us new plantys know it takes awhile be patient. Thank you.
I have one - about a year old - been a challenge for me - probably conditions - intend to cautiously underwater
Like you said - we all make mistakes and learn - love the videos
What’s the large plant growing up to the right of your head ?
Favorite plant period. I love the rusty orange.
Going to get one.reminds me of a Birken in some ways.
To much babbling
