Looks more like Deja Vu instead of Xanadu. Only time will tell though.

Thanks tropic.
Mentha, defnitely sold as Xanadu though ;)

Hi,

Did you succeed with your P.Xanadu? mine also bought on Ikea, and I have been done everything I can to keep the plant nice, not so easy like I have been reading everywhere about this nice plant. My P.Xanadu looked exactly like yours when I bought it, some deform leaf and a young plant, but my plant keep giving me yellow leaves Im still try to find the answer, but we will see.

PLANT CARE

Light: Place by a window that provides medium indirect sunlight.

Water: Keep soil moderately moist. Allow top of soil dry before watering again. Water approximately every 4-7 days. Do not overwater.

Pet Friendly? No. Best to keep away from pets and small children.

Good luck with yours

Hey,
I'm sorry that you have some trouble with your Xanadu.
Mine is doing good. Here is a (not so good) picture:

I'd say the general care tips that you posted are quite accurate. For the watering - it depends on what soil you are using and the weather, if its cloudy for a longer time it can easily go around 10 days without watering, when it is hot and sunny, I would water mine once every 4-5 days. But I always check the soil mix and water only if it feels dry to touch. I have to agree, for me too it is a rather easy care plant.
After I brought it home I repotted it into a mix of soil, perlite and pine bark (small pieces; 1:1:1), getting rid of as much of old soil as possible.

And the plant looks happy.

No more spots or deformed leaves and it's grown a little bit, as you can maybe see. The leaves still look juvenile. I hope in the future it will develop this beautiful cut out leaves, but we'll see.

For yellowing I would watch out for overwatering, maybe you should let the soil dry out more between waterings. And definitely keep the plant in a fast draining mix.

Good luck to you too :)
And give us an update.

Edit: here I noticed a new leaf today.

Hi Dominica,
thank you for your answer, Im going to follow your advice. Your plant looks nice :).
I will change the soil we`ll see I send and update later.

Have a nice day

Cheers

Following,

I just bought mine as well and most of them seemed to have some type of brownish spots on them. I grabbed one with the least amount of brown spots. The lady at the garden center told me to soap wash and neem the leaves. Is this good advice? I want to make sure I don't kill this one. It is my second attempt at one so I want to do good by it. Thanks in advance :)

My Xanadu survived but, it doesn`t grow it has only three leaves it is going never be big I think I don`t know if I let it lives as it does now or let it dye.

Hey, I don’t know if anyone can confirm this for me as I read the article quite some years ago now and can’t remember the source but as well as maturity, the amount of light can affect leaf size, shape and stems. Similar to monstera del. producing more holes when it has sufficient light, I read that the Xanadus leaves become broader when they need more light and more fishbone when they get enough.

It looks pretty happy and healthy, hope it’s boding well 3 years on :)
