The Philodendron 'Orange Marmalade' is a striking variety of the Araceae family, featuring bright orange-red new leaves that gradually mature into golden and coppery hues, eventually turning dark green. The plant simultaneously displays all these colors, making it dynamic and colorful, ideal for collectors.

Growth and Development:

• It has a semi-upright to moderate climbing growth habit with good vitality under bright indirect light.
• Develops a central stem from which successive leaves emerge without natural branching.
• Horizontal height reaches 60-100 cm in a regular pot, and even taller if supported by a moss pole.
• The growth rate is moderate, producing a new leaf every 3-4 weeks during the warm period.
• Appropriate support during climbing promotes larger leaves.

Lighting: Bright indirect light, 10,000-20,000 lux; tolerates 2-3 hours of mild morning sun but intense summer sun should be avoided.

Temperature: Ideal 18-27°C; can withstand minimum temperatures of 13°C, but growth stops below 15°C.

Watering: Water when the top 2-3 cm of the substrate is dry (about every 5-8 days in summer, 10-14 days in winter).

Humidity: Ideally 50-70%; tolerates down to 40%, with leaves more vibrant in higher humidity.

Substrate: Aerated and well-draining mix — 50% peat or coconut coir, 25% perlite, 15% pine bark, 10% horticultural charcoal.

Fertilization: Balanced NPK fertilizer (e.g., 20-20-20) diluted by half, applied monthly in spring and summer.

Propagation: Stem cuttings with at least one node and an aerial root, rooted in water or sphagnum moss.

Specifications:

• Pot diameter: 10.5 cm.
• Total height (including pot): 20 cm.
