Also, why are all the baby leaves dying on my philodendron prince of orange? :(

Your prince of orange is beautiful! The babies dying could be a sign of underwatering though. I find that philodendrons like their soil a little moist (not wet). But make sure it has good drainage to prevent root rot.

this could be a sign that it’s been overwatered. be sure to use a chopstick and check the soil to make sure the top 75-80% of the soil is dry.
