Product description
Baby Philodendron Orange is a small house plant with leaves which open pale yellow, turning to stunning shades of vibrant orange, before maturing to green. Stems are bright crimson in colour, making this tiny a plant a colourful addition to any room in the home.
Place your Baby Philodendron Orange in an area where it can receive bright, indirect light, as too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves and makes them less colourful. Allow the top half of the soil to dry out between watering. These plants will grow perfectly well in regular household humidity, but they will thrive with some regular misting or being placed in a humid environment like the bathroom every so often.
The miniature size of this baby plant makes it perfect for smaller homes and spaces. It would look fabulous in the living room, as bedroom plants or bathroom plants, but a baby plant is also great as a desk plant to brighten up an office, or to brighten up a small shelf.
It’s not unusual to give your plant a name… so don’t hesitate to choose one that you think suits the plant! Try naming your plant with the first name or word that you think of when you look at it - that’s how we ended up with an orchid named Clover and spider plant called Joseph.

House Plant Size Guide
House plants come in a wide array of shapes and sizes depending on the variety and maturity of the plant.
6cm/12cm/15cm/19cm/23cm nursery pots are the most common size of pot that they are sold in. This measurement is the diameter at the top of the pot.
12cm potted plants are the most popular providing great value for money and an instant impact. Larger plants that come in pots of 20cm+ are great for making a statement in any room and can represent years of growth to get to that level of maturity and size.

Top Tip
Philodendrons thrive in humid conditions, making them an excellent choice for kitchens or bathrooms. Increase humidity with a pebble tray or regular misting, especially in dry environments. To keep your plant bushy and full, pinch back any leggy growth. With minimal care, a Philodendron will bring lush greenery to your home and purify the air effectively.
How to Water
Water Philodendron when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. During the growing season, water every 1–2 weeks, reducing frequency in winter when growth slows. Ensure the pot drains well to prevent waterlogging, which can cause root rot. Avoid letting the plant sit in water, and wipe any excess water from the saucer to maintain a healthy root system.
How to Plant
To plant Philodendron, choose a pot with drainage holes and use a rich, well-draining potting mix, such as one designed for houseplants or containing peat and perlite. Gently remove the plant from its container, loosen the roots, and place it in the new pot, ensuring the top of the root ball sits slightly below the pot’s rim. Fill in with soil, firm gently, and water lightly to settle the soil. Position the plant in a spot with bright, indirect light, avoiding direct sunlight that may scorch its leaves.
