PHILODENDRON 'PRINCE OF ORANGE'

Plants in the philodendron genus are incredibly popular houseplants. Philodendron hederaceum, the heartleaf philodendron, is one of the most common, but stroll through your local nursery and you will find plenty of different species to choose from each with their own unique look. For a touch of warmth, look out for the relatively new cultivar to the South African market 'Prince of Orange: The leaves perfectly complement the autumn season, starting with a warm yellow and transitioning to bright orange before turning a final green.
