Most Colorful Rainbow Philodendron! Prince of Orange, Airoids, Collective Plants, Houseplants 

Yes you are right...but that goes for many of your aroids...they do go through quite a transformation process from baby leaf to adult. One of the most major let downs for me is the Florida Ghost...which will have a very ghostly pale leaf when it first opens but as it matures will fade into your common green. For as much as they charge for that variety...I do believe it to be a ghost...because I just don’t see it! LOL! So I do understand the process of growth and the changes that it as well as many philos go through...I still love it the same and look forward to the newer more colorful leaves.

@@PictureMaria1 Oh so you know. Good. Though the pink princess philodendron is one that will variegate and go green and back to variegated again even if left alone. I'm sure you know this as well. TC

@Jude Southern Ontario Anything that is genetically modified to carry the variegation gene has the risk of reverting back...that even applies to the famous Monstera Thai Constellation that is known for keeping its variegation supposedly although I have one that has reverted as living proof. Majority of variegations found in plants are man made and plants don't normally grow that way. Although beautiful, it is a genetic flaw and a mutation that causes it more harm than good, because of the lack of ability to produce and gain the nutrition that is needed to flourish and grow properly. The plant will naturally try to fight off the variegated mutation so that it can grow normally again. That is the reason why most plants revert back. The plant knows that the variegation is a form of mutation, a handicap and a weakness to the plant. It is only in our quest for beauty that we have plants live and grow this way. There are some plants that have been able to fight off the variegated "mutation" and will not produce the variegation at all. That is the reason why they haven't been able to make all plants have a variegated form.

@@HamsterLife_EnglishLearning Yes and as far as the Pink Princess...there is no telling what it will do...it is so unstable...and is known to revert back to its normal status eventually. I haven't seen yet a specimen pink princess holding its variegation. When it becomes specimen size the variegation is normally out of its system.

@@PictureMaria1 Yes I agree. I have 3 pink princess, so far so good. If you cut it back at the last time it was variegated it should, but not always come back variegated. So far so good with mine. That is why I bought 3 of them to plant into one pot. I hate plants that look lanky and naked. I like mine to be bushier. There is a woman online that %40 perlite and %50 potting soil. I do the same. I also mix in $10 Coco coir and 1/2 cup on my egg shells ground into powder, 1 /4 cup dollar store epsom salt. I then put white gravel 1 inch thick on top of all my plant pots to help with gnats not to want to lay their eggs in it. I feed my plants January to Dec once a month. I've potted all 20 plants with the same mix. All tropical. Two are Hoya Kerri, Hoya Kerri Variegated.

Sherry Porsch It is a marvelous plant...just so tropically delicious! ...and yea it was so small you need a magnifying glass to see it! 🤪🤣😝😝

Isn't it so beautiful...I didn't notice just how beautiful and tropical the leaves really were until I did this video...and I have an even deeper appreciation for it! I just love it! I am also planning on getting the moonlight eventually...just making sure I get the ones that I really want first before I run out of space in my garden! LOL! I am happy to hear that you have one too and that it is growing so well for you...enjoy and take great pleasure in its beauty!

Thank you and I just can't get over the striking colors and patterns on this one...he is quite a charmer!

BBQNBLUES Yes, it is quite a visual delight and makes quite a beautiful tropical foliage bouquet! I love that table! I bought it from a garage sale along with two chairs for only $15 buckeroonies!

Thank you! It is so tropical, lush and colorful...my type of plant! :)

The Queen of Orange? I tried to look that one up but could not find a philodendron with that name...were you referring to the Prince of Orange? I truly hate that when that happens...I always kick myself for not getting plants and then not being able to find it later...that is the worst plant feeling one could have! I am going to keep my fingers crossed that you are able to find one very soon!

Yes, I got a bang for my buckeroonies on this very flamboyant and charming prince!

I am so happy to hear that you have one too!!!! YAAAAAAAY! So you know exactly how beautiful they are! My video didn't even justify its beauty! I am so impressed by this philodendron and it is one of my favorites as well. I just can't get over its amazing colors...it really does take my breath away!

It is a beautiful plant. Thanks for watching and HAPPY GROWING! 🤗

Yea it's great that you don't have to search to hard here in Florida. They seem to be everywhere...although I have heard in some places they are harder to come by. I suppose that is why they seem them so high online. The law of supply and demand. How much were they in your area and did you pick one up?

I agree. Plenty of supply here out of S Fl. Same price as yours. Yep. I picked one up then came home and started laughing as I watched your video. You know what they say. Great minds think alike. 😀

This grows best in bright filtered light to medium light. Yea sometimes I get angered when I go to the bigger box stores because they do have a tendency to neglect the plant. I always wish I brought a bottle of water so I could water some of the plants that look like they are on the verge of death. I am happy I was able to find the Prince of Orange looking so awesome...it was a great deal and because I separated them out, I can keep one in my garden and one in the house!

Thank you...it was love at first sight when I seen these and I just had to get one! Thanks for watching and HAPPY GROWING!

@@PictureMaria1 well you have inspired me to go buy one and succulent..cactus just when I thought I would love where orchids😉

Doesn't that suck when that happens!!! Sometimes it really does pay to wait and shop around first! It always happens to me because I get overly excited and impatient. Hopefully I can control my sudden impulses and urges...that way I can save more money! LOL! Thanks for watching and HAPPY, HAPPY GROWING!

They can grow taller but they are not really climbing or vining philodendrons. They usually grow more compact...similar to how a birdnest fern would grow. Unfortunately because of the way it grows I don't believe that a tomato cage would benefit it.

Came here to say this, prince of orange has narrow leaves

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I do hope that you enjoy yours just as much as I do! The leaves if given appropriate lighting can really give off an incredible and very colorful display. Thanks for watching and I am wishing you the absolute best in your plant growing adventures! HAPPY GROWING!

Yes, I thought I was getting a good deal...turns out I really wasn’t. I am finding Lowe’s and Home Depot really have some amazing deals in comparison to some of the speciality nurseries.

Yea but you have to watch them because they and other nurseries are known to pass misnamed plants...plants with diseases etc... since I've gotten into this plant collecting I see things so much differently...I actually had the chance to go to a local nursery and observe some active diseases on plants and when I challenged the manager his reply was "oh they just grow like that" no do not fall for it...if you see distorted leaves and/or flowers move away chances are if you pick one from the bunch that looks half ass decent it may still be a carrier of a dormant issue that can destroy your entire collection if not careful...trust who you trust find reputable growers...one of the ones I trust is Brian's Botanical...they have all types of plants and he started as a avid collector so he strives to collect disease free plants from all over the world. Check it for yourself...some stuff is extreme and on a real huge level meaning you may need all types of equipment to grow certain things like(misters, humidifiers, etc...)but he has it...

Hello there my friend! :)

@@PictureMaria1 Good nait from Grees Maria!!!!!!best wishes from a good day to you!!!!

Todd's Tropicals I always look at our clearance section but it’s more of a plant grave site in our area. 😭 Did you get any of the vandas?

I am so sorry to hear that. Do you have any specialty nurseries that specialize in tropical plants? You should google it and see. Also you may find a plant show or festival near you that you may be able to catch. I find amazing plants at these events. Sometimes I have to drive a little ways but it is always worth the trip. I will keep my fingers crossed for you that you discover some cool places to shop. 🤞

Yes, you are right. Just depending on where you are at can determine how rare or common they are too. Thanks for watching and HAPPY GROWING!

I am glad that you are extremely happy with your purchase. That is really all that counts. This is a very easy to grow philodendron requiring your basic philodendron care. Bright filtered light, water as it becomes dry and fertilize on a regular to keep it in tip top condition. To keep vibrant colors on this plant it is suggested to give it very bright light conditions (without direct sunlight). Again congratulations on your new plant baby and I am hoping it grows beautifully for you. ENJOY!

I have found if this does not get enough light the color becomes bland. Try putting it in the highest light possible without burning the leaves (bright, filtered light) the colors should become more vibrant.

they're super easy! Very tolerant of light difference, hardy, etc. The one big mistake I've made is overwatering; these plants don't like to get soaked like succulents. Just wait til the leaves droop a bit and the top two inches of soil are dry, and get the soil moist (I stop before water comes out the bottom for pothos, but with succulents that's how I know I'm done). If the leaf tips turn brown you're probably overwatering.

I travel all over Florida looking for great plant places to shop and share my adventures and experiences. I have many videos where I share the many locations I’ve shopped. Please check them out to see which location would be suitable for you. Thanks for watching and HAPPY GROWING! 🤗

That is good to point out especially for pet owners and people that have small children. I have pets myself...but they don't eat any of my plants and aren't allowed in my garden unless I am there keeping a watchful eye over them. What type of philodendron do you have in your shadehouse?

I am so sorry to hear that...have you checked in Home Depot's as well? You may want to check in your other garden centers as they are pretty common plants. I do hope you find one soon and without having to resort to online resources. I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

Thank you

That’s awesome! ...and yes it’s different prices depending on where you shop. So sometimes it’s worth it to shop around first.

WOWZER! That is a bit pricey. What state do you live?
