Any philodendron experts in the house? I’m so confused on what to ID this one as… ChatGPT and Google seem to think it’s either a red sun or a McColley’s, but I’ve had other opinions that it might be a prince of orange… I don’t think it’s POO because it has a very distinct burgundy/maroon stage, but IdK 😩 The newest leaves come out bright red/orange like pictured (more light=more orangey. I recently moved it to my greenhouse, but when it was inside, the new leaves were very vibrant red ), then darken to a burgundy/maroon color, before finally turning dark green once fully hardened off.

    It looks similar to my Pink Princess so it might be related. When they get a lot of sun, the leaves turn pink/red. I had some leaves turn more orangey recently since I had sat it outside when I was reporting.
