Philodendron Xanadu, a popular ornamental plant, is known for its unique, deeply lobed, glossy green leaves. Native to South America, this compact and attractive plant grows in dense, bushy clumps, reaching up to 90 cm in height and 1.2 m in spread. Its tropical origins give it a robust, resilient nature, making it an ideal addition to both indoor and outdoor spaces. The Xanadu’s lush foliage adds a striking visual element to any environment.
Plant Care Guide
Light: Philodendron Xanadu thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions, though growth may slow and leaves may lose some of their vibrancy.
Fertilising: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertiliser. Avoid excessive feeding, as this can lead to leggy growth.
Common Pests: Be on the lookout for aphids, spider mites, and mealybugs. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
General Care: Philodendron Xanadu is low-maintenance. Clean its leaves occasionally to prevent dust buildup and improve its ability to photosynthesise. Remove any dead or yellowing leaves to maintain its attractive appearance.
Lighting: Bright Filtered Light
Aphids: Aphids are tiny, pear-shaped insects that range in color from green to yellow to black. They feed on the sap of plants using their sharp, piercing mouthparts and can cause stunted growth, curling leaves, and other damage. They reproduce quickly and can form large colonies, making them a common pest in gardens and greenhouses..
