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.

Well-Made Toy, but Too Stiff and Large for Small Dogs
I purchased this product for my dog Woody to use as a treat-dispensing toy. While the toy is well-made and feels durable, it wasn’t the best fit for my small Maltipoo. The central roller mechanism is quite stiff and heavy, making it difficult for a small dog to rotate or engage with it effectively. In terms of installation and setup, it was easy and straightforward. The adjustable settings are a nice touch and allow for some control over treat release, which is great. However, due to the size and resistance of the roller, the toy seems more suited for medium to large dogs rather than small breeds. It offers good value for money considering the build quality, but I would recommend it only for dogs with enough strength to interact with the roller comfortably.

Entertainment for You --- Fun for your Dog
Size: 4 INCH, Pattern Name: IQ TREAT BALL 4"
I had seen a friend with this toy for her dog. I asked if I could try it for my two dogs (mini schnauzer & chihuahua/pug mix). My dogs loved it! The only way they'll stop playing with it is if you pick it up or when they finally realize there aren't anymore treats available. I now own two of the 5" (which is really 4" in diameter) and one 3". If I know I'll be gone for a while, I'll load up all 3 and they'll have more than enough food/stimulation while I'm out. I am so satisfied with these toys, I looked up the manufacturer and purchased the Large Buster Food Cube. Why? -Simply for variety. The Buster doesn't get quite as good of a following from my dogs as the ball, but it has its own advantages. The chips seen in another reviewers photo(s)..., this happened to me as well. When inspecting the three IQ Balls I have for my dogs, no chipping of the small fins as shown in the photo(s) changed the integrity of the ball. The chips will most likely happen to everyone if your dog is even somewhat of a chewer. I'm not putting these on display for family/friends to come see. They're dog toys. If your dog is a fierce chewer, only use the ball as an entertaining feeding option. The Buster Food Cube could be used permanently with the most determined chewers. Please don't be swayed by those photos. I was a little concerned when I had seen them prior to ordering. Now, I know how inconsequential those chips are and how much those photos make it appear like a potential deal-breaker. Tennis balls and the Kong toy used to be my favorites for my dogs. Now the Treat Ball and Buster Food Cube are the favorites. Treat Ball - Pros ----------------- -More fun for my dogs than the Buster Food Cube -Adjustable food dispensing - you can set it to be depleted quickly, the cube will take a lot longer, relatively Buster Food Cube - Pros ------------------------ -Holds more food -A bit more challenging than the ball -Very quiet compared to the ball (you'll experience a constant rolling until the ball crashes into your wall, furniture, etc. - nothing harmful to either) -Rarely, if ever does it get stuck (with the ball - even the larger size - you may find times when your dog has given up because it has been lost under an accommodating piece of furniture; the cube is truly too large to get trapped) -More durable than the ball - the most determined chewers will not have success destroying this toy *** If OurPets would ever make a larger sized ball (Buster Food Cube diameter), I would buy that in a second. This would keep it from being stuck as often and I would like the increased food capacity, as the cube has.

great
Size: 4 INCH, Pattern Name: IQ TREAT BALL 4"
This ball is great for my two and a half year old border collie mix. I give his breakfast through this ball, and it keeps him occupied for 20 minutes total. The ball won't fill up a whole cup of kibble, so I have to fill it up two times. This ball takes him longer and tires him more than the Tug a Jug, which only takes him about five minutes to empty. As he empties the ball twice, he will pant and go lap on some water. It's good to see he's getting some kind of work for his food as opposed to just chomping it down from the bowl with no effort. The only downside is that a lot of times the lid gets loose even if you close it pretty secure. One time the lid came off completly as my dog was playing with it, exposing all the kibble. To prevent this I used some strength to close the lid very tight, but later I could not open it back up! It took a grown male to open it back. My dog does not chew on this ball due to the awkward shape and material(hard plastic). I and my dog have dropped this a couple of times on both laminate and wood floor, but I see no crack on the ball so far. It seems durable. Good ball to make your dog work for his breakfast or dinner. UPDATE: My dog still loves this toy. With the difficulty setting set to max, it is the slowest treat dispensing toy in my collection(buster cube, tug a jug, kong wobbler). That's good, it lets him burn off more energy. Also since the ball doesn't hold a full cup of kibble, I would pour half and the rest on his regular food bowl. I place the ball next the the bowl and give a release "OK!". Guess where my dog goes? He runs off with the ball! Even after realizing that there is food in the bowl (He puts his nose inside the bowl for a second and then goes to the ball) where he could just eat it, he perfers to get his food from the ball.

3 considerations for IQ BALL. FUN, DURABILITY & COST to TIME VALUE
Size: 4 INCH, Pattern Name: IQ TREAT BALL 4", Size: 4 INCH, Pattern Name: IQ TREAT BALL 4"
3 Points to consider buying IQ BALL : FUN, SAFETY & COST. IQ BALL out of the well packed box: It is a good toy depending on your dogs' SIZES, TOY DESTRUCTION QUOTIENT & Cost to PlayTime ratio 1) FUN--Great fun for playful dogs who like chasing balls & learning treat rewards for rolling it. 5 Stars FUN & for puppies learning to problem solve. Fun will depend on dog's size, especially if they're mouthy (chew-wise) & how big they open--can the dog get the ball in its mouth to break it? Overall our experience is FUN=5 Stars 2) SAFETY: Our 5 month, 22" high, 30# Australian Pup spent 2 hours of continuous play, first time w IQ Ball. He could not hold or carry it in his small puppy mouth...this is not a problem but a good thing. Larger dogs wont necessary get the pt. if all they do is carry it around. Also---Reckon, any larger dog e.g. Germ. Shep., Rottie., Malamute & esp. Staffordshire Bull, Pit Bull Terriers, or larger mouth dogs could easily crush this lightweight plastic into shattered sharp bits. If the dog is easy going on toys it may be okay. Otherwise I'd worry about it breaking in the dog's mouth. 3) Cost to Time ratio is likely very good if, dog is not too "mouthy" with their toys. Rate it at a 3 overall for Med. to Large Dogs & 5 for pups & smaller dogs. Cost not worth it if dog crushes it in a minute. Our little guy just started playing with IQ Ball again 5 hrs. after unpacking it. At first he chased it around the house for almost 2 hrs. So Cost/Time used ratio depends on your dog's food motivation & love for balls that toss kibble out at various intervals. Set-up's a breeze. Delivery opening is adjustable, depending on kibble size & how much you want to reward the dog. We set delivery hole wide open the first 15 min. Then adjusted it smaller as he figured out, the more I roll this ball, the more treats come out. SAFETY CAN BE AN ISSUE BUT OVERALL, WITH CERTAIN DOGS & DOG SIZE, THIS IQ BALL IS A GOOD 4 STARS. 1 other caveat: uneaten kibble left on floor can be a calling card for little "Mickies" who just LOVE dog kibble. We vacuumed a few times already.
