Growing Zones 10-11
Like bringing a bit of the tropics into your home! Xanadu Philodendron (Philodendron x Winterbourn 'XANADU') is a dramatically cut leaf tropical beauty with distinctly lobed large leaves that are satiny, leathery and smooth. Strong stems either cascade and sprawl in large pots or garden beds. Unlike other Philodendrons that are also climbing plants, Xanadu instead forms big, neatly tiered clumps.
Philodendrons have heart-shaped leaves that can grow to huge dimensions, reaching nearly 3-feet, with an appearance reminiscent of something you'd see in a rainforest. The strong stems reach upwards as the large leaves form a fountain from the center, up and out. The older the leaves are, the more ornate and pronounced the lobes and texture becomes!
Xanadu keeps a compact and neat appearance with little work from you. Provide a location out of the strong wind and direct sun to keep the leaves looking their best. But this variety does need more bright light than the average Philodendron, however direct sunlight will blanch the leaves. !
Planting and Application:
Place one of these impressive tropical plants indoors where it will have space to climb and you can enjoy watching it grow! It's like bringing a bit of the tropics into your home. Come summer, many gardeners bring these outdoors to add an exotic flair to their patio and seating areas. Warmer climates can use these year-round in their mixed plantings around their landscape or add some staycation vibes to their pool and porch!
Xanadu can be planted as a statement planting in long rows, zigzagging formal plantings, or in groupings to really show off their style! Equally sharing the spotlight, these add structure and formality to a mixed planting with banana plants and Palms. Try playing with the textured coarse leaves against other finer textures and bold colors like Ginger, Hibiscus and spiky Dracena, or try a mixed Philodendron planting to start your own collection of these great fuss-free tropicals!
- Huge Tropical Green Leaves
- Upright Mounding Fountain Growth
- Evergreen Tropical
- Great Container, Hedge, Mixed-Planting or Houseplant
- Indoor/Outdoor Accent, Specimen & Focal Point
#ProPlantTips for Care:
Philodendron is a vigorous grower and easy to care for. It prefers humidity but will tolerate some dry conditions as long as they have moderately moist soil. There are no pest or disease concerns and are very easygoing for even the novice gardener! Both indoors and out, they need bright yet indirect sunlight. Too little and they become leggy, and too much the leaves are bleached. Prune off any yellowing or badly damaged leaves close to the stem cleanly when needed. Provide regular fertilizer and well-draining soil for best results.
Young, more juvenile plants may not yet exhibit the deeply lobed leaves but with age the plant will begin to develop the lobed leaves if grown in bright indirect light.
- Bright Indirect Light
- Moderate Moisture & Loves Humidity
- Indoor or Outdoor Tropical Evergreen
- Prune As Needed
- Keep Out of Strong Winds
