Philodendron Orange Marmalade

Philodendron ‘Orange Marmalade’ is a striking tropical plant known for its vibrant, variegated foliage that features shades of deep green, orange, and yellow. This hybrid variety, a member of the Araceae family, is believed to have been developed through cultivated selection, with no known natural habitat. Its bold coloration and manageable size make it a popular choice for indoor plant collectors seeking something unique and eye-catching.

Caring for Philodendron ‘Orange Marmalade’ involves mimicking its native tropical conditions. It thrives in a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter—typically a blend of peat, perlite, and orchid bark. Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy, allowing the top inch to dry out between waterings. High humidity and temperatures between 65–80°F (18–27°C) will support healthy growth. Regular fertilization during the growing season helps maintain its vivid color and promotes new leaf development.

This philodendron prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant variegation. While it can tolerate lower light, the orange and yellow hues may fade in dim conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the delicate leaves. A spot near a north or east-facing window or a few feet back from a bright south-facing window is ideal. With the right care and lighting, Philodendron ‘Orange Marmalade’ can grow vigorously and become a colorful focal point in any indoor space.
