XANTHASOMA LINDENII


THIS CHOICE AROID IS CONSTANTLY BEING RENAMED AND RECLASSIFIED AND IS SOMETIMES CALLED CALADIUM LINDENII AND I HAVE EVEN SEEN IT LABELLED PHILODENDRON LINDENII.IT HAS BEAUTIFUL VARIEGATED LEAVES AND LOVES THE WARM WEATHER. WILL GROW IN THE GROUND IN A WARM, HUMID, WELL MULCHED AREA AND CAN GET MODERATELY LARGE. MINE HAS BEEN MORE SUCCESSFUL IN LARGE POTS AND EVEN HANGING BASKETS. IT WAS ONCE PRETTY RARE, BUT TISSUE-CULTURING HAS CHANGED ALL THAT AND NOW MANY MORE CAN ENJOY ITS WINNING BEAUTY.
