# We got this mystery philodendron at the store today and planta has…

_Posted by Nikiller on 2026-07-03_

We got this mystery philodendron at the store today and planta has called it a prince of orange, an orange princess, and a tangerine princess. I just went with orange prince for now but I was wondering if anyone knows what it actually is? Ignore it being in the sink, we just watered it and it’s draining where it won’t drip everywhere. Also should I be worried that its newest leaf is vertical and folded itself in half?

I’ve always wanted one!

prince of orange. orange princess is marbled similarly to a ppp, and tangerine doesn't have the distinct veins that prince of orange has. i'm assuming that leaf is like that because of a lighting issue in the nursery it came from?

It came from a grocery store so definitely doesn’t have adequate lighting there however long they had it

Prince of Orange! The leaves start out bright orange and then fade over time to green. I absolutely adore mine.

Definitely a Prince of Orange. She’s stunning!
