The Philodendron 'Prince of Orange' is one of those rare plants that earns its name without any exaggeration. Every new leaf that unfurls does so in vivid orange — deep, saturated, genuinely the colour of a ripe citrus — then spends the following weeks travelling through copper and amber and chartreuse before settling into the rich, glossy dark green of a mature leaf. Because the plant pushes new growth continuously, multiple stages of this journey are always visible simultaneously: a fully orange new spear at the centre, copper leaves mid-transition, and deep green mature leaves forming the outer canopy. No two moments in the growing season look quite the same. A hybrid of the *Philodendron erubescens* lineage — *erubescens* meaning "blushing" in Latin, a name suddenly made literal by the Prince of Orange's extraordinary leaf colour — it is entirely self-heading: it grows as a compact, symmetrical rosette without climbing, without needing a moss pole, and without taking over a room. At 60–90 cm at maturity it is perfectly scaled for desks, shelves, and tabletops, and it is one of the fastest-growing self-heading Philodendrons available.

💡 Stable Colour — This Is Not Variegation The orange colouration of the Prince of Orange is genetically locked into the plant's growth cycle — it is not chimeric variegation and it does not revert. Every new leaf this plant produces will emerge orange, without exception. The colour is driven by pigment expression in new growth that fades as chlorophyll develops and the leaf matures — a reliable, repeatable process. The intensity of the orange phase is directly controlled by light: brighter indirect light = more vivid, longer-lasting orange before the leaf greens up. Lower light = the orange phase is shorter and the leaf transitions to green faster. More light is the single most effective tool for keeping the display as vivid as possible.
🌿 Self-Heading Habit — No Pole, No Climbing, No Drama Unlike the majority of collector Philodendrons, the Prince of Orange does not climb and does not need support. It grows as a compact, upright rosette, producing new leaves from the central growing point and expanding outward symmetrically. This makes it one of the most practical collector aroids available — ideal for desks, console tables, windowsills, and shelves where a climbing vine would be out of place. Simply rotate the pot a quarter turn every few weeks to ensure even light exposure and a balanced, symmetrical form.
☀️

Light

▾

Bright indirect light — the most important factor for a vivid, long-lasting orange display. An east or west-facing window is ideal; a south-facing window with a sheer curtain works well. The orange phase is most intense and lasts longest in bright conditions — in lower light the new leaves transition to green quickly and the distinctive colour display loses much of its impact. No direct harsh afternoon sun — it scorches and bleaches the leaves. Gentle morning sun is fine and beneficial. A grow light at 12–14 hours is excellent and produces the most consistently colourful new growth.

💧

Watering

▾

Allow the top 3–5 cm to dry before watering thoroughly. The Prince of Orange prefers to dry out a little more between waterings than moisture-loving aroids — consistent soggy soil causes root rot faster in self-heading forms. Use room-temperature filtered water where possible. Empty the saucer after watering; never allow to sit in standing water. Reduce frequency slightly in winter but never allow to dry out completely. Check weekly; water when the top layer is clearly dry rather than just slightly dry.

💦

Humidity

▾

50–70% preferred — a humidifier is beneficial but not essential. The Prince of Orange is more humidity-tolerant than many collector aroids and adapts well to typical Indian indoor conditions. Keep away from cold AC drafts and heating vents. Do not mist directly onto the leaves — water sitting on the new orange leaves encourages brown spotting, particularly on the tender young growth. India's tropical climate is naturally adequate for outdoor or semi-outdoor growing.

🌱

Growing Media

▾

Well-draining aroid mix — 40% quality potting soil, 25% orchid bark, 25% perlite, 10% coco coir. pH 5.5–7.0. The mix must drain freely; self-heading Philodendrons are more susceptible to root rot from compacted, moisture-retentive mixes than climbing forms. Repot every 1–2 years in spring, one pot size up — the plant prefers to be slightly snug rather than over-potted. A pot with drainage holes is essential; terracotta is a good option for extra drainage insurance.

🌾

Feeding

▾

Balanced liquid fertilizer at half strength every 2–3 weeks in spring and summer. The fast growth rate means consistent feeding during the growing season is visibly rewarded — larger leaves and more frequent new growth flushes. Apply to moist soil only. Flush every 3 months to prevent mineral salt build-up. Stop feeding in autumn and winter. Avoid high-nitrogen formulas — they push very fast leafy growth that outpaces the plant's structural development.

⚠️ Common Issues & Quick Fixes

New Leaves Coming Out Green, Not Orange

▾

Insufficient light — the most common complaint. The orange phase shortens and fades dramatically in low light; in deep shade new leaves can emerge barely orange at all. Move to a significantly brighter indirect position or add a grow light. The colour will return to full intensity within 1–2 new growth cycles in better light. This is not reversion — the plant cannot revert; it is purely a light response.

Brown Spots on New Orange Leaves

▾

Water contact on tender new leaves — do not mist; ensure watering does not splash onto unfurling leaves. Also check for thrips, which target new growth specifically: silver streaking or distorted unfurling leaves indicate thrips. Treat with spinosad spray every 5–7 days for 4 weeks and quarantine immediately.

Yellow Leaves

▾

Overwatering or root rot — allow the top 3–5 cm to dry before watering. One older lower leaf yellowing as new growth pushes is normal cycling. Widespread yellowing with soggy soil: unpot, inspect roots, trim any blackened or mushy sections, repot in fresh well-draining mix, and water less going forward.

Leaves Staying Small

▾

Insufficient light, underfeeding, or the plant being too root-bound to support larger leaf production. Move to a brighter position, begin consistent feeding every 2–3 weeks, and check whether the plant needs repotting — roots circling the base of the pot indicate it is ready for the next size up.

Leggy or Lopsided Growth

▾

The plant is reaching toward its light source — rotate a quarter turn every 2–3 weeks to maintain even, symmetrical growth. If the plant has become significantly lopsided, increase overall light levels and begin regular rotation to gradually correct the form.

A Clear Concise Precis of a Complex Historical Era
Format: Paperback
R.W. Southern's book titled WESTERN SOCIETY AND THE CHURCH IN THE MIDDLE AGES is a readable account of the Medieval Catholic Church from c 750 to c. 1450. Southern concisely explained the achievements, successes, and failures. According to Southern, the achievements and successes far outweighed the failures and wrong doing. Southern's book began with the special relationship between the new "barbarian" secular rulers and the Catholic clergy especially the monks and bishops. The fact that most secular rulers were not literate especially in the use of Latin, they relied on learned Catholic clergy. The Catholic clergy became crucial and both they and the secular rulers relied on each other. While Charlemagne (768-814)had a revered status as the defender of the Latin West, Southern mentioned his reliance on Catholic clergy. Charlemagne could read,but he never learned to write. He was aware of his own deficiencies and started the Palace School at Aachen where, among others, Alcuin (735-804) and other learned men expanded learning at a time called the Carolingian Renaissance. What readers should appreciate is that without Catholic clergy and monks, learning would have disappeared in Western Europe. Southern was very clear about this. The Medieval Catholic authorities faced other challenges. Long simmering feuds existed between the Byzantine Greek Orthodox Church authorities and the Latin Roman Catholic authorities. During the eighth century and again in 1054,the official reasons for tensions were the use of icons (The Iconoclastic Controversy) and the status of the Pope. As Southern wrote, these tensions were a cover for the disputes between the Italians and Byzantine Greeks over Byzantine control of parts of Italy. What the Greek Orthodox and Byzantine authorities did not want to realize was that the Latin West including the Popes were their only salvation vs. the Islamic Seljuk Turks especially after the Byzantine defeat at Manzikurt in 1071. In 1422, Pope Martin V (1417-1471)reminded the Byzantine religious and secular rulers how much they relied on the Latin West. In other words, Pope Martin V demanded concessions if the Byzantines expected help vs. the Turks. Because of the lang standing traditions the Byzantines had, they refused to face their doom which occurred in 1453. Southern's description of this dilemma was well presented. An achievement that Southern emphasized was the development of Canon Law. Increased trade, urbanization, and political power led to conflicts between secular rulers and Catholic authorities. Some of the Medieval Popes were known as "The Lawyer Popes" such as Pope Alexander III (1159-1181), especially Pope Innocent III (1198-1216), and Pope Pope Gregory IX (1227-1241). While the Popes could and sometimes used excommunication and interdict to intimidate secular rivals, the problem became acute because of too much reliance on these spiritual weapons. Not only did the Popes exert power and influence, the Catholic bishops also had considerable influence. The Cathoic bishoporics existed long befor the monastic orders and the friars. The ideal for bishops was Pope Gregory's (590-604)work titled PASTORAL CARE. Due to the bishops' position of power and status, many became too involved with poltical situations that mitigated Pope Gregory I's ideal. Bishops had to enforce discipline, show wisdom, and administer effectively. Southern mentioned some of the bishops who were effective and some who were inept. For example Bishop Odo Riguad (1247-1276) was "firm but fair." He was lenient for qualifications for those who wanted to enter Holy Orders and was reasonable, in fact kind, re reconcilation. Yet, he expected those under his authority to comply with their priestly duties. On the other hand, John Peckham who was the Archbishop of Canterbury (1279-1292)was obstinate, incompetent, and not capable for the position. After the Papal Election Decree in 1059 and the Investature Controversy, the Popes wanted the local clergy to decide on the appointment of bishops. Southern told readers that even a Pope as powerful as Pope Innocent III (1198-1216)preferred local selection. While Popes could intervene if no decision could be reached, they preferred not to impose what Southern called "The Royal Road." While the bishoporics existed prior to the monastic orders and friars, the latter groups were also crucial to the Catholic Church and the Latin West. The dominant orders included the Benedictines started by St. Benedict (480-544) whose Benedictine Rule was the standard until c. 1050. The work of the monastic orders re learning can never be underestimated especially since they wrote and hand copied books including the Bible long before the invention of the printing press. Their influnce was such that a Beneditine was made Pope-Pope Gregory I (590-604). Other orders such as the Cistertians and Augustinians later developed separate from the Benedictines. The best known of the Cistertians was St. Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153)whose rhetoric and conservative views were a check on unbridled enthusiams. The friars were orders of men and women who left the cloister to appeal to the masses. St. Dominic (1170-1221) started the Order of Preachers or Dominicans as a learned society of men and woman to combat heresy. The Friars Minor (the Franciscans) were started by St. Francis of Assissi (1182-1226),and these men and woman started as an order to help the poorest of the poor. Southern could have mentioned that St. Francis helped those even God ignored. The Dominicans and Franciscans became dominant teachers in Catholic universities and revived interest in Ancient Greek thought. These men and women also made signficant contributions re science and mathematics. A major reason for the creation of the friars was the gradual increase of urbanization. As Southern reminded readers, without towns, there would have been no friars. Without universities, the friars would never have been great. By the middle of the 14th. century (the 1300s), the Scholastic achievements faded because of the trivial debates. This led to a revival of Catholic mysticism such as Thomas a Kempis' (1380-1471)who wrote IMITATION OF CHRIST and later St. Ignatius Loyola's (1491-1556) SPIRITUAL EXERCISES. As Southern warned did such mysticism lead to false piety? Southern did an effective job re Medieval Catholic Church History. He could have emphasized the work of some of the giant intellects such as St. Albertus Magnus (1193-1280) and St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274). Southern's treatment of Canon Law was later enhanced by Berman's book titled LAW AND REVOLUTION. Students of Church History will benefit from Southern's book. It is clear, and complexities are carefully explained. The list of Popes at the end of the book can help readers to keep track of the "players." James E. Egolf November 5, 2013

From the Bones of Peter
Format: Paperback
A brief forward to this work is in order. R.W. Southern stands among England's finest historical scholars of the twentieth century and was knighted by the Queen in 1975. The publisher, Penguin, has worked to bring the best of the humanities to an inquisitive public for almost a century. Southern's medieval survey is thus an eminently readable text buttressed by a profound grasp of both trends and minutiae. Our work at hand is one of seven independent works in Penguin's history of the Church series. Southern's contribution was first published in 1970 and updated in 1990. Historians are bringing more interdisciplinary tools to the study of medieval history, from climate to demographics to agriculture. Southern is the product of an earlier and more basic methodology, where the nexus of Church and Society stood as the interpretive key to an understanding of the times. I first read "Western Society and the Church" shortly after its original release in 1970. Reading it again in 2014 impressed upon me how compatible Southern's comprehensive overview stands with what we now know in greater detail about mystical movements, cold winters, trade, exploration, and plague, among other factors. Despite the wide sweep of his narrative, Southern's conclusions are drawn from meticulous examination of records, with useful numerical charts interspersed from time to time. Southern treats of the years 800-1500 CE and the provenance of the Roman Catholic Church in that era. The title's phrasing of "Western Society and the Church" is a pregnant one. The organism of the Church and western society as a whole shared a common cosmology or world vision. Medieval man did indeed understand himself to be living in a "Middle Age" between the time of Christ's first and second coming. However, Southern's overview provides many instances where the major organs of the Church and western society were hardly of one mind, either. Not surprisingly Southern devotes considerable attention to the changing Petrine ministry, which in 800 was not enjoying its finest hour. Besieged by Islam and other foreign peoples, belittled by Eastern Christianity from Constantinople, and its own house in disarray, Rome somehow maintained a religious and psychological hold in the popular mind. As reliquary of the bones of Peter, Rome and its successive bishops never entirely lost hold of mystery and supremacy in the early dark medieval era. In popular thought at the time, the pope was a living vicar of Peter. "Though men came to Rome in the first place to visit the (bones of the) Apostle, they prostrated themselves before the pope." (95) What would maintain Church order through dark times, Southern implies, was an inner sense among men of the times that God's order (and wrath) was mediated by the Church. Fractiousness between clergy and laity was common, but fear of damnation trumped all. Only the most cynical of men would knowingly dismiss hell fire And thus the Vicar of Peter became the Vicar of Christ. It did not hurt the cause that shrewd popes buttressed their positions with questionable emphases upon more ancient secular entitlements dating to the times of the Constantinian/Christian empire of the West. The heritage of Charlemagne and the forgery of the "Donation of Constantine" played their parts, but the permanent breech with the East may have been a deciding factor as well. Pontiffs such as Gregory VII came to understand their office as specific, detailed, and immediate. To speak anachronistically, popes became managers of a far flung bureaucracy of order and sanctification in what was now a Western European Roman Catholic venture. By 1100 there was plenty for popes to do. The relationship between pastoral appointments (bishops and abbots, for example) and the attendant financial compensation became quite complex. The papal office became official arbiter over disputes between various parties, to the degree that the majority of high medieval popes were drawn from the legal profession. Southern describes a medieval Church of prelates, scribes and lawyers crisscrossing Western Europe in the name of the Pope with portfolios of litigation and judgment. It does not miss the author’s attention that the papacy was also the greatest broker of spiritual reward and punishment, specifically its powers of excommunication and redemption, the latter becoming a major target of reformers at the end of the era. Southern contends that religious orders extended major spiritual and practical influence throughout the Middle Ages. In 800 the Benedictine Order, whose legacy would include spiritual efficacy, scholarship, good order, and physical enhancement of the environment, was at its apex. Southern proceeds to outline in some detail how the inevitable decline of fervor in a predominant order of the day would inspire the development of a new order to address developing contemporary concerns. As successors of the Benedictines, Southern identifies the Augustinians, the first medieval religious movement to embrace a generic rule derived directly from the Gospels as well as rigorous and moderate variants of daily life style. The next was the Cistercians, who sought to return to the letter and spirit of St. Benedict's rule. Their quest for purity and escape from the world led them to flee to the outer edges of Western Europe and consequently to develop these lands, a major social contribution. Southern sees the Franciscan and Dominican moments of the thirteenth century respectively as the Cistercian and Augustinian reforms for this later era of European society. Southern's penultimate chapters is devoted to what he called he called the fringe orders; today we would think of these in part as the Beguines and the multitude of spontaneous mystical and devotional movements associated with the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. His final chapter, "A Confusion of Tongues," continues his account of spiritual diversification leading to early Protestant thought and practice. The tenor of this book is what one would expect of the relaxed scholar/gentleman unfolding his description of this age with a profound but understandable style. He shares a lifetime of scholarship in an inviting way to those entering the Middle Ages for the first time.

Excellent treatment of a narrow subject: how society shaped the church
Format: Paperback
This book is not a comprehensive overview of the church from 700-1500, nor is it a narrative treatment or an introduction. This book is highly selective, focusing on one central theme. Its strengths are in its organization and in the examples it gives to illustrate its theme. These examples are concrete, vivid and use quotations from original documents to excellent effect. The theme of the book is how society shaped the church. Southern examines the main institutions of the church -- the papacy, bishops, religious orders and fringe orders -- and shows how the needs and interests of society molded each. Perhaps having written on 1000-1200 in other books, for me, the strongest insights Southern makes here are on the periods 750-1000 and 1200-1500. Insights that particularly struck me: the importance of magic from 750-1000; the evolution of bishops, from supporting local rulers to supporting the pope; the importance of the Augustinian canons in the twelfth century, seeing them as one end of a pole, with the Cistercians on the other end and the Benedictines in the middle; the role of Franciscans and Dominicans in supporting scholars in the thirteenth century; and the fringe orders -- the book has one of the best treatments of the Brethren of the Common Life from the fourteenth century that I have come across. The book is highly selective. There is no treatment in this book on intellectual life (the "new learning") or artistic life, nor is there much on the heresies of the period or popular religion (the "new piety"). What the book does select to treat, it does so in a deep, highly readable, substantial way. One will definitely come away with how the demands of society molded the church. Highly recommended!!
