OUR RECS |
We recommend a ceramic planter with a drainage hole to provide ideal moisture balance for your Philodendron Prince of Orange. When repotting, keep your plant in a planter of the same size or no more than 2 inches larger. Ideal soil is a high-quality, well-draining mix with aerating and moisture-retaining amendments such as perlite, orchid bark, and coco coir. |
Nature is unique - each plant may vary slightly from the plant shown here. Ceramic planters are sold separately.
