Philodendron Xanadu “Winterbourn”

Xanadu philodendron or the ‘Winterbourn’ plant has a tropical pedigree that thrives indoors and in warm-weather landscapes. Unlike other varieties of philodendrons, they grow in clumps rather than climbing vines. Xanadu philodendron can reach a height of 2 to 4 feet with a width of 3 to 5 feet. This plant is easy to grow and increases in elegance as it ages. One of the most desired house plants, with dark, luxuriant foliage for summer-like charm, the Xanadu Philodendron makes the ultimate statement. 

Light: A Philodendron Xanadu needs more light than other philodendron plants to maintain its compact appearance. It grows best in medium, indirect light. Too much bright light causes the leaves to become pale and bleached looking; too little light and the stems become elongated as the plant stretches towards the light. Direct sun burns the leaves.

Watering: Water a Xanadu thoroughly until the water drains out the drip holes in the bottom of the pot, and then allow the top 50% of the soil to dry out before watering again. Leaves turn yellow if the soil stays too wet. A Xanadu grows more slowly in the winter and requires less water.
