Philodendron 'Caramel Pluto' ('Chocolate Empress', 'Pluto')

Philodendron 'Caramel Pluto' is a self-heading cultivated Philodendron with thick, glossy leaves that open in caramel, bronze or chocolate tones before maturing to deep green. The leaf margins are lightly serrated, giving the plant a firm, textured outline as each blade hardens.

The plant builds from a central growing point, with new leaves held close before the top growth broadens. Mature plants form a rosette-like shape with sturdy petioles and a heavier upper canopy, so pot stability and an airy root zone matter most as the plant gains size.

Caramel flushes and serrated glossy leaves

  • Foliage: Glossy leaves with caramel to chocolate new growth and darker green mature colour.
  • Leaf edge: Serrated margins give mature blades a more defined outline.
  • Growth habit: Self-heading structure with a central growing point and compact rosette-like development.
  • Container behaviour: Develops a broad, top-heavy plant over time, so pot stability is important.

How the self-heading rosette fills the pot

Philodendron 'Caramel Pluto' opens its newest leaves in caramel, bronze or chocolate tones, then deepens to green as the blades mature. Because the leaves are thick and glossy, they show water stress, sun marks and fertiliser residue quite clearly at the edges and surface.

New leaves emerge close to the centre, so the central growth point needs airflow and the root system needs a mix that holds light moisture while staying open. A heavy, compact substrate can keep the lower root zone too wet, especially once the plant is placed in a larger pot.

Steady light, airy substrate and balanced watering

  • Light: Place in bright indirect light, roughly 10,000–20,000 lux, with only gentle morning or late-day sun after acclimation.
  • Watering: Water when the upper third to half of the substrate has dried; thick leaves handle short dry intervals better than stagnant roots.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky aroid mix with bark, coco fibre, pumice or perlite, so the roots get airflow while the mix still holds light moisture between waterings.
  • Pot choice: Choose a pot with drainage and enough weight to balance the broad self-heading top growth.
  • Humidity: Keep around 50–70% humidity for smoother unfurling and fewer dry edge marks.
  • Temperature: Maintain 18–29°C and keep the root zone warm during winter.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth to keep new leaves well sized, firm and evenly coloured.
  • Leaf care: Wipe dust from the glossy surface so pests and residue are easier to spot.

Edge damage, distorted growth and leaning stems

  • Soft yellowing leaves: Check whether the root ball is staying wet for too long; improve drainage and extend the dry interval.
  • Brown crispy edges: Look for dry root pockets, low humidity or fertiliser salt buildup in the mix.
  • Distorted new leaves: Inspect the central growth point for thrips and check humidity during unfurling.
  • Weak caramel colour: Mature leaves naturally darken; judge plant health by leaf firmness, root condition and new growth size.
  • Leaning plant: Rotate the pot gradually and check whether the root system still anchors the plant firmly.

Toxicity if chewed

Philodendron 'Caramel Pluto' is toxic if ingested. The plant contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth, tongue and throat. Keep it out of reach of pets and children, and avoid contact with eyes after pruning or handling cut tissue.

Dogs love them
Style: Ball, Size: Medium (Pack of 2)
Our dogs love these. What’s great is that you can add more plastic (like from water bottles) if the plastic starts to fall out from the center. If you have a chewer, though, these won’t last you long. Our shepherd mix loves these and then starts to pull the rubber apart the more she plays with it. Our other dogs treat it normally, though, and those ones last forever. They also get some decent height when bounced, and they make a unique whistling noise when thrown.

Our pup loves the cronch cronch!
Style: Ball, Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
I bought our 15 month old Coton several Chuck-It toys on an Amazon deal. He is incredibly playful, mischievous, and ball/toy obsessed, especially for anything that makes noise. He can also be very destructive so I love how durable most of their products are - they’re among our longest lasting toys and worth every penny. We have yet to take them to the dog park, but they’re a perfect size for sharing in play time. And they are keeping him busy at home - that’s a good thing. He loves investigating the crunchy-cronchy-crinkly sound which is a nice change from squeakers. It can withstand his destructive chewing well-being, gentle on his little teeth. I love that. Chuck-It is thinking outside the box with a variety of balls to keep dogs engaged! I do worry about the crinkle plastic inside because it is accessible because of the air holes and it feels a little sharp. So this will have to be an at home toy so we can monitor his play.

My dog loves it!
Style: Ball, Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
This crunch ball was a Christmas gift for my 65lbs fur baby. It’s now mid April and he still loves it. He loves running after it and chomping down on it. It is still in good shape despite all the chomping it’s gotta . I highly recommend. He goes back to this toy agin and again! Great buy.
