What is the plant

Philodendron xanadu is a plant belonging to the family Araceae and subgenus Meconostigma, one of three subgenera within the genus Philodendron. This plant is native to Brazil, but is widely cultivated as a landscape plant in warm temperate climates.

The philodendron “Xanadu”, sometimes referred to as philodendron “Winterbourn”, is a large compact easy to grow plant. Each shiny green leathery leaf has 15-20 distinct lobes. A Xanadu is often wider than it is tall, reaching a height of 2-4ft. and a width of 3-5ft in ideal conditions. The leaves of this beautiful, exotic looking foliage plant can be as large as 16″-18″ long and 7″-14″ wide. Unlike many philodendrons, the Xanadu is an upright plant not a climber or vine. The best part is, the older a Xanadu gets the better it looks. These plants are considered poisonous and should be kept away from pets and children.

Container
Plants that don't like a lot of moisture will need a drainage hole for moisture to escape and for airflow to circulate through the pot. Another important function of drainage holes is to allow water to flush the soil of excess salts from fertilizers.
