Philodendron Prince of Orange

Buy Philodendron Prince of Orange (Philodendron erubescens 'Prince of Orange') at Metro Turf Garden Center in Bremen, GA. This compact, self-heading tropical is prized for its striking foliage that shifts color as it matures — new leaves emerge in vivid shades of orange and copper before gradually deepening to rich green. It's a showstopper on plant stands and shelves throughout West Georgia homes.

Unlike vining philodendrons, Prince of Orange grows in an upright, bushy form without needing a trellis or support. Each new leaf unfurls from the center of the plant in a warm burst of color, making every growth cycle a visual event. It stays manageable in size, making it an ideal choice for indoor spaces where you want bold color without the sprawl.
