Hey! Philodendron 'Orange Marmalade' is a stunning plant with its vibrant orange leaves. Here are some care tips for your Philodendron 'Orange Marmalade':

1. Lighting: Philodendron 'Orange Marmalade' thrives in bright, indirect light. Place it near a window where it can receive filtered sunlight. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.

2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water your Philodendron 'Orange Marmalade' when the top inch of soil feels slightly dry. Ensure proper drainage to prevent waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.

3. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix that retains some moisture. A mixture of peat moss, perlite, and a little bit of orchid bark works well for this plant.

4. Temperature: Philodendron 'Orange Marmalade' prefers temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C). It can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures, but avoid exposing it to cold drafts or temperatures below 55°F (13°C).

5. Humidity: This plant prefers higher humidity levels. You can increase humidity by placing a tray of water near the plant or using a humidifier. Misting the leaves occasionally can also help.

6. Fertilizing: Feed your Philodendron 'Orange Marmalade' with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Follow the instructions on the fertilizer packaging for the correct dosage.

7. Pruning: If your plant becomes leggy or overgrown, you can prune it back in spring or early summer to encourage bushier growth. Trim any yellow or damaged leaves to maintain the plant's health and appearance.

8. Caution: Philodendron 'Orange Marmalade' is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. Keep it out of reach of children and pets, and wash your hands after handling the plant.
