Philodendrons are a large genus of rainforest shrubs and climbers, all with attractive and often dramatic foliage, that make excellent houseplants.

Philodendron xanadu is a large plant with dramatic leaves that form at the ends of the stems. It will tolerate shade, so is a good choice for a shady corner. Keep the compost moist from spring to autumn and water more sparingly in winter.

Keep the leaves of Philodendron xanadu free of dust and looking shiny by wiping with a damp cloth, placing under a tepid shower or putting outside in the rain during summer. Repot or top dress with fresh compost every spring.
