Philodendron 'Prince of Orange'

Philodendron 'Prince of Orange' is a self-heading Philodendron grown for its colour-changing new leaves. Fresh growth opens bright orange, then moves through apricot and yellow-green before maturing to medium green. The colour is strongest on new leaves, so the plant carries its warmest tones at the centre of active growth rather than across every older leaf.

This cultivar forms a compact rosette-like crown with short internodes and thick petioles. It does not need a moss pole to show its natural shape. The leaves rise from a central growing point, creating a full plant that suits pot culture well when the roots are kept aerated and the crown is not buried too deeply.

Orange new leaves and a self-heading crown

  • Growth habit: Self-heading Philodendron with a compact crown and very short internodes.
  • Leaf colour: New leaves emerge orange, then mature through apricot and yellow-green into green.
  • Leaf shape: Narrowly ovate leaves with a glossy surface and entire margins.
  • Support needs: No climbing support required; the plant is naturally crown-forming.

Patent background and leaf colour stages

USPP6797, “Philodendron plant named Prince of Orange,” was filed on 21 January 1988 and published on 16 May 1989. The patent describes a stocky, compact, self-heading Philodendron with bright orange new leaves maturing through apricot and yellow-green to green.

The patent names Howard N. Miller as inventor and Cora McColley of Orlando, Florida as assignee. Its breeding background is complex, involving Philodendron domesticum, Philodendron erubescens, Philodendron wendlandii, Philodendron imbe and Philodendron cannifolium within the breeding line. The resulting plant is a compact self-heading Philodendron selected for warm new-leaf colour, short internodes and a rosette-like crown.

The colour change is normal leaf development. Older green leaves are the mature stage of the leaf, while the strongest orange appears on fresh growth. Very harsh light can scorch new leaves, and weak conditions usually slow the production of fresh colour.

Care for orange new growth and compact crowns

  • Light: Give bright, indirect light to support healthy new growth. Avoid hot direct sun, especially on fresh orange leaves.
  • Watering: Water when the upper substrate has dried. The compact crown is sensitive to waterlogged roots, so drainage matters more than frequent watering.
  • Substrate: Use an airy aroid mix with bark, perlite or pumice and a moisture-retentive organic base. The mix should drain freely while staying lightly moist after watering.
  • Humidity: Moderate household humidity is usually tolerated, but steadier humidity helps new leaves expand smoothly from the crown.
  • Temperature: Keep warm, ideally 18–27°C. Avoid cold wet conditions around the roots.
  • Potting: Use a pot with drainage and avoid burying the crown. Repot only when roots fill the pot, moving up gradually in size.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth. A gentle, regular feed supports leaf production without pushing soft, weak growth.

Colour, crown and root issues to check

  • Older leaves turning green: This is normal maturity. Look at the colour of new growth when judging the plant’s condition.
  • Weak orange colour on new leaves: Check whether the plant is too cool or too far from bright indirect light. New growth shows the clearest colour when growth is active.
  • Yellowing lower leaves: Check root moisture, drainage and pot size. A dense wet mix can stress the roots.
  • Brown marks on new leaves: Move the plant away from direct sun or intense grow lights. Soft new tissue damages easily.
  • Crown rot risk: Keep water out of the central crown and avoid planting too deeply. Good airflow around the crown helps after watering.

Pet safety and handling

Philodendron 'Prince of Orange' is not pet-safe and should not be ingested. Leaves, stems and sap contain calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth, throat and digestive tract. Keep trimmed leaves away from pets and wash hands after pruning.

Name origin and botanical background

Philodendron is an aroid genus in the family Araceae, with a name derived from Greek words meaning “loving trees”. The cultivar name 'Prince of Orange' refers directly to the orange colour of the emerging leaves, the colour of the emerging leaves.

Philodendron 'Prince of Orange' forms a compact self-heading crown with orange new leaves that mature through warm green tones.

This innovative and well-designed ball launcher has become an essential tool to keep our furry friend entertained and active. The 18" length of the launcher provides a comfortable grip for both me and my dog during play. It allows for effortless throwing, making fetch games enjoyable for both of us. The launcher's ergonomic design ensures a smooth and efficient ball-throwing experience, saving me from straining my arm during extended play sessions. The inclusion of a medium-sized ball (2.5") with the launcher is a thoughtful addition. The ball's size and weight are perfect for our medium-sized dog (20-60 pounds), allowing her to easily grab and carry it in her mouth. The ball is also durable and can withstand the enthusiastic chewing of our playful pup. One of the standout features of the ChuckIt! Sport 18M Dog Ball Launcher is its exceptional throwing distance. It allows us to launch the ball far into the distance, providing ample space for our dog to run and fetch. This extended range adds a fun and challenging element to our playtime, keeping our dog engaged and excited. The durable construction of the launcher is commendable. It has proven to withstand rigorous use and outdoor play, making it a reliable and long-lasting investment for our dog's entertainment. Additionally, the launcher's compatibility with other ChuckIt! balls makes it a versatile tool for various play styles and preferences. Whether it's a bouncy rubber ball or a flying disc, the launcher can handle them all. Moreover, using the ChuckIt! Sport 18M Dog Ball Launcher has strengthened the bond between our family and our dog. It encourages interactive play, providing an opportunity for us to engage and connect with our furry companion while promoting exercise and healthy physical activity. In conclusion, the ChuckIt!

Essential kit for those with fetch dogs
Size: 18in, Style: Sport
Now in our 3rd year, my Brittany and I are down to about 40 fetch tosses a day, some 14,600 tosses a year. The Chuck It launcher wears well, so, figure at least 5 years of use, for 73,000 tosses. That makes for a terrific value! There are several key benefits of the Chuck It launchers: One is that you can chuck the ball further than you can throw, which allows you to exercise your dog more easily. The second is that you can pick up and launch the ball without touching it, which means NO slime! And, the Chuck It also gives extra reach when you have to retrieve a ball from sticker brambles. Those are great features for anyone with a fetch dog. If you also happen to have a weak arm or shoulder, the Chuck It launchers provide nice throwing options. I generally throw underhanded. I can't get the full potential range, that way, but, I still get good, long tosses. I curl my second finger above the last bump on the handle, and use a good wrist flick along with arm swing. I've seen others throw side-arm with the Chuck It. I had originally written a second review for the longer 25M Chuck It. Either I, or Amazon messed up, and it looks like I can have only this one review. So, here are my additional thoughts on the 25M: I bought the 25M so that I could throw the ball even further! The good news is, you really can chuck further, with the longer chucker. The bad news is, those longer throws do require more arm and shoulder strength than when using the 18M. This becomes more obvious when you've done 3 or 4 dozen throws. I would recommend the 25M only for those with the youth and/or strength to get the most out of it. Otherwise, I'd say, go with the 18M.

Must Have for Tiring Out Your Pup
Size: 25in, Style: Sport
The Chuckit! Sport 25M Dog Ball Launcher is an absolute must-have for any dog owner with an active pup! This thing takes fetch to a whole new level—effortless long throws, hands-free pickup (no more slobbery tennis balls!), and a comfortable grip that makes playtime easier and way more fun. My dog absolutely loves it, and I love that it helps her burn off energy without tiring out my arm. The included medium ball is the perfect size for medium to large dogs, and the durable construction means it's built to last. If you're looking for a simple but game-changing way to upgrade fetch, this is it. Highly recommend!

My Niece dog loves it!
Size: 18in, Style: Sport
This ball launcher takes a bit of getting. used to, but it is really helpful for those of us who are not MLB pitchers! The launcher itself is a sturdy plastic that is not brittle yet not soft; when the ball is launched there is no destructive bending in the shaft. The handle is padded and ergonomically sound while the cup end cradles the ball but has cut-outs on each side for easy loading and unloading of the ball. It did take a bit of practice for me to get the hang of it, but for my husband and son it was much easier. The launcher works well to help us older, non-gifted athletes launch the ball farther and faster while saving the shoulder, elbow, and wrist (important if there is any arthritis). The ball fits nicely into the cup and releases easily. The 2.5 size was too small for my Doberman, so we opted for the 3.5 in launcher. This smaller launcher and ball are now in the employ of my sister and her husband for their retriever-border collie mix, an 18 month old little fireball!. This is just the right size for her. My sister's husband has difficulty with arthritis and is neither quick on his feet nor able to stand very long. So the launcher comes in very handy. He can actually sit in a lawn chair and throw the ball repeatedly when their dog retrieves and returns it to him. That is a win- win! Top 3 Likes: -Easy to use -Helps older pet owner -Drives the ball farther and faster Top 3 Dislikes: -With repeated uses the edges of the launcher appear to get scuffed and scratched -Some ingrained staining on the edges persists requiring scrubbing to remove -There is a mild worry that with time the launcher may snap
