Light requirements for a Philodendron Tangerine 

Philodendron tangerine can thrive in many different conditions but it is more suited to bright indirect light. Most rooms with a window will do just fine, as this plant can survive in lower light conditions. As long as direct sun is not touching the leaves, you are all set.
