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.

Do not buy
Color: Silver
The worst frother i've ever used. You can't even turn it off without having to go through all the different modes, meaning you will get absolutely splashed and have to clean all the little droplets of whatever you were frothing. The power is weak. The battery did last a long time, I'll give them that. 3 months ON THE DAY the frother stopped working. A very loud noise and decreased power made it unusable. I sent them an email with NO response.

Mixes drinks well and holds a charge
Color: Silver
I bought this frother to replace a weaker frother I had been using for months. I make iced lattes with instant espresso powder, water, and milk, and this frother does a great job at mixing the powder into the water/milk. It also leaves a nice 1" or so of milk froth on the top. I love that it can be charged with a USB-C cable and doesn't require batteries like many frothers do. It's very powerful for the size.

Putting my $.02 into the mix
Size: Basic Frother, Color: Black
My old, lame hand mixer finally gave up the ghost. I ordered one of those “stick blenders” but it was waaaay too powerful for my purposes. (I don’t need it to dice/chop/pulverize fruits or veggies - if you need that, this mixer isn’t for you.) I needed something in between. I kept coming back to the “milk frothers,” but I had my doubts that one of those could mix up my morning shake. I tried a frother some years ago, and it wasn’t designed for blending ingredients, just for frothing liquids. Still, I had an idea (like some of you might) that what I needed was not a true stick mixer, nor a true milk frother. Something in between. I needed a “frother on steroids.” I settled on this one-the YUSWKO YW-218. It had the regular frothing head, but also two other heads. One looks like a mini bread hook; the other like a mini whisk. I plugged it into charge and it did take the stated time to come to a full charge. (Like any kid with a new toy, I tried turning it on before charging, but the low state of charge resulted in the high-medium-low settings not behaving correctly.) For my first few forays into blending, I tried the mini bread hook thingee. It worked OK, but not as well nor as quickly as I wanted. I then shifted to the mini whisk thingee. I didn’t really prepare well. I combined my milk-protein powder-carnation breakfast-malt flavoring-imitation (yeah, I know, it probably causes cancer, but only in California) vanilla flavoring concoction into my normal medium-sized concession cup (you know, the smaller ones you get at high school basketball games), lowered the whisk head into the goop, and turned it to “low.” In a second, I was wearing my shake. But the power capacity was more than enough to do what I was needing. Anyway, since that first attempt with the whisk head, I’ve gotten the routine down. And it is EXACTLY what I needed. (I’ll try to attach a video to show you.). Clean up is simple. You can do it with soapy water and a brush or rag, but I just run the thing in clear water and ensure I get all the sticky stuff off. I tried the soapy water, but I got a LOT of suds. A few pointers. First, charge it up all the way before using it. I haven’t had to recharge for two weeks now. You’ll use a regular, small phone-charging brick. (Two words of CAUTION. I found that the included, cheap charging cord did not work. It got really hot, like there was an electrical short in it. So I found one of my own. Also, DO NOT USE the larger charging blocks like the ones from Ap*le. I tried and it was too much.) Second, I assumed that the low speed would be the less aggressive and thus the less “throw-stuff-out-of-the-cup” setting. But that hasn’t proven true for me. I’ve found that the medium setting makes my ingredients behave better (less throw-out and quicker blending). Experiment with different speeds, even though it may not make immediate sense. Third, practice with plain water first (I’ve already told you how I know this). That’ll give you a “feel” for what this frother will do. Fourth, practice with different sized cups. I’ve since changed to the taller concession cups, as they prevent throw-out. Fifth, start practicing with your cups down in a sink. Less mess to clean up and no need to change clothes before you head out to work or school (I’m a teacher). Finally, familiarize yourself with the way the three buttons work. My previous mixer required me to keep the button depressed to blend. If I let up on the button, the unit would stop. Not so with this one. A light press to start, let go, then a light press to stop. Don’t keep mashing the button. Final thoughts: this frother is just what I needed. If your experience sounds like mine, I think this one’ll give you good service.

Perfect and convenient tool
Size: Basic Frother, Color: Black
I am very happy with my new milk frother. Really easy to use and I was very pleased with the results. I got to enjoy my first home made cappuccino and it was perfect. I have only used the frother attachment so far but I plan to use the whip the next time I scramble a couple of eggs. Very please with my purchase.
