**Scientific Name** Philodendron xanadu (exotic tree-hugger) **Common Names** Winterbourn, Xanadu **Origin** The species is from tropica South America, but this cultivar was first seen in Australia **Description** The Xanadu is as exotic looking a Philodendron as the name suggests; unlike its fellow philos, this one stands out for having branching, finger-like leaves which look like they belong to a forgotten age- but are very much alive and kicking, and can even thrive in your living room! In its natural habitat, this plant creeps along the ground or climbs up trees, so likes indirect light best and won't mind a spot of shade, just as long as it's not next to a radiator which would dry it out. These glossy green leaves will grow wide and bushy, and are the perfect fit for that big empty space in your home. Choose the Philo xanadu to bring a piece of tropical rainforest into your home and fill a room with its verdant foliage. **Light** Place in bright indirect light. Avoid direct sunli
