Today, we have a plant spotlight video for the beautiful plant Xanthosoma lindeni magnifolium, also known as Caladium lindeni and Philo dendron lindeni. Although the plant is stunning and looks very exotic, the good news is that it is fairly easy to grow. I have a care video for this plant, which I will link below, as well as any other videos I mention in this video.
This video is all about some interesting little facts—a quick spotlight on the plant to encourage you to grow it if you get the chance. It’s a really fun plant, and I’ll give you more cool information about it that you can share with visitors to your indoor garden.
One of the interesting things about this plant is that its genus has been debated for more than 150 years. Horticulturists and botanists sometimes do this, but they generally land on one genus. However, that hasn’t been the case with this plant, which makes it even more of a mystery. Although they are saying now that they have decided it is Caladium lindeni, I will say that however you find this plant named, I suggest snapping it up because it is a fairly rare plant.
The plant is native to Colombia, and as you can see, it’s very beautiful with these large green leaves covered in gorgeous white veining—just absolutely stunning. The plant can grow 2 to 3 feet indoors and just as wide, with the leaves reaching up to 15 inches long. That would be when the plant is very happy and more mature. Of course, it grows even larger outdoors in its native habitat.
This plant is one of the few indoor plants that will go dormant. I do talk about that in the care video. If you’re watching this video and wondering why your plant seems to have gone dormant, it will spring back to life after 2 to 4 months. That’s another really interesting fact about the plant.
So there you go, some tidbits about this beautiful plant, which I definitely suggest growing if you get a chance.
