How to Care for the Plant

Water
Water thoroughly, then allow surface to dry out before watering again. Water sparingly in winter, when growth is slower, but don't allow potting medium to dry out. Yellow leaves are often caused by over-watering.
Fertilizer
Prince of Orange is a light feeder, requiring little fertilizer; in fact, Clemson Cooperative Extension cautions that its leaf tips and margins may curl or turn brown if you over-fertilize this plant. Plant Lust recommends using a water-soluble houseplant fertilizer or organic equivalent that's 5-5-5 or lower.
Soil
Prince of Orange love to lean towards the light, so rotating will help it stay full on all sides. Philodendrons prefer soil that is consistently slightly moist, especially if you want them to grow big leaves. As epiphytes with aerial roots, they are sensitive to overwatering, so they don't want to sit in soggy soil.
