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.

Love it!
Very comfy and warm. It’s soft and fuzzy and I love it. I will say I’m not a huge fan of the Sherpa fabric at the bottom, not because it’s not soft, just because this material, in general, seems to easily get bits of stuff stuck in it. The snuggie is slight too long (I’m 5’4) so it touches the ground sometimes and it will pick up sticks and grass and food material. I live on a farm and even if I did nothing but vacuum all day there would still be stuff on the floor and I don’t have time to vacuum all day! So, I dislike the Sherpa material going all the way down and folding like it does at the bottom. However, I’ve been extra careful with this one, and I’ve been able to physically pick any debris caught in it. I am contemplating actually cutting it and re-sewing it ever-so-slightly shorter with the outer material folded and sewn inward instead of the internal Sherpa fabric folded outward. Apart from that, it’s roomy, and I actually like the hood, which I didn’t think I would. The pocket is nice sized and also lined with Sherpa fabric. I don’t actually use the pockets to keep my hands warm but more like a kangaroo pouch to transport things like my phone, book/Kindle, or snax as I’m walking with my hands full. I travel with this thing because I’m always cold and it’s amazing. I fly with it. Yeah, I don’t care if I’m wearing this in public at the airport/on a plane, you know why? Because I’m cozy! Flight delayed? Oh, I’ve got my wearable blanket, I’m gonna nap in comfort! 😝 Airplane AC on Arctic Blast? Ha! I’m in an impenetrable cocoon of warmth and with the hood up, you can’t see me, mouth agape, as I sleep so attractively in public. You couldn’t handle seeing me that hot anyway, I’m doing you a favor! 😂 Oh, also, I took it to the hospital with me (because hospitals are basically morgues) so I washed it on hot to sanitize it. It didn’t shrink or ruin it at all, it’s fine.

Snuggly.
Size: Standard, Style: Solid, Color: Light Green
Well made, accurate color, very warm and roomy, cosy to wear. Very pleased with product. I will be warm this winter! Took about 10 days to ship, then longer to arrive as international. I’ve ordered another and it shipped within a couple of days this time. I reccomend.

Great Buy! Nice robe!
Size: Oversize, Style: Solid, Color: Grey
I love this robe. I bought it for myself as a Christmas present ( 2024) and it’s the best robe I have ever had. It’s soft, warm, long, and very comfortable. I’ve washed it several times over the past year and it still maintains its same quality, looking and feeling as brand new.

Warm and comfy
Size: Adult, Style: Solid, Color: Black
Super soft, warm and comfy. I bought the adult size. I'm 5'11" and medium build. It's roomy and comes down to the middle of my shin. Typical robe style except that it does not open. It slips on like a shirt. May not be great if you have to go to the bathroom a lot. Otherwise awesome, I bought 2 for my sister's.

Keeps me nice and warm in Alaskan winters!
Size: Oversize, Style: Solid, Color: Dark Purple, Size: Oversize, Style: Solid, Color: Dark Purple
As you've probably guessed from the title of my review, I live in Alaska. In my part of the state, the temperature gets down to as low as -25°F in the winter, so I decided to get this to help keep myself warm. (Part of it was self preservation; my mom flat-out refuses to turn the heat up past 69° F.) And it doesn't help that I have defective fat either. Apparently my body thinks I live in the Southern Hemisphere or something, because it keeps me warm in what would be winter for them, but is summer for me. The opposite happens in the winter for me. So I decided to bite the bullet and make the purchase...and let me tell you, this blanket/robe works MARVELOUSLY! It's so fluffy and warm, I rarely have to turn on my space heater anymore. Now I'll admit, I was a little hesitant to bite the bullet because I'm a BBW, and most things labeled 'oversized' really aren't. (All my plus-size peeps out there know the struggle.) However, this blanket/robe is different! Not only does it fit, I have plenty of room to spare. For the record, I'm 5'6 1/2 - the half matters, trust me - and 321 lbs. But it's a little long...which is to be expected, since it's made for somebody up 6'5. So what I did to prevent mine from dragging was tie the belt underneath the pocket every time I need to leave my room, as seen in the picture. (Yes, I can still use the pocket during this time) That way, I don't have to sacrifice the extra room in favor of a shorter length. I also like how the sherpa is inside the hood as well. Between it and the elastic cuffs at the wrist, I could practically live in this blanket/robe! I also purchased this in the adult size, but in dream blue. Again, I was nervous because I didn't know if it would fit me or not. Kinda felt like I was pushing my luck there. Fortunately, my fears were unfounded. Not only does it fit as well, I have a bit of room to spare. (See the last picture if you wanna compare the two sizes.) It's not as long as the oversized version, though. The adult size stops about halfway down past my knees, whereas the oversized can pool around my feet. It's not quite as roomy on me as the oversized one is either, but I bought it to walk around outside in, so that's a good thing. More room = more air getting inside to make me cold. As of the date of this review, however, the slit no longer has the ability to snap closed on either of these robes. That was a bit of a bummer. But everything else is perfect, including the purple and blue being true to color. If you're on the fence about this blanket/robe, just do it! You'll be glad you did.
