Best Locations For Growing Xanthosoma Lindenii Magnificum

Help your Xanthosoma Lindenii Magnificum thrive by giving it a sunny spot with increased humidity. A naturally humid room, like a sunroom, kitchen, or bathroom, is a good choice for this plant. Angle Wing has an upright growth habit and is best suited to a tabletop, but it can transition to a floor plant as it matures. 

Xanthosoma Lindenii Magnificum is toxic to humans and animals, so be aware before introducing it into your home.

Xanthosoma Lindenii Magnificum Sunlight Requirements

The Xanthosoma Lindenii Magnificum prefers bright indirect sunlight. This fast-growing plant needs lots of light to reach its full potential and maintain its impressive variegation. The ideal spot is set back from a south-facing window or close to a window with east or west exposure. 

Protect this leafy plant from direct sunlight, which will burn the leaves. Stunted growth or muted variegation indicates insufficient sunlight, so relocate the plant to a sunnier spot.

Xanthosoma Lindenii Magnificum Care

Repot your Angle Wing every one to two years. If necessary, upgrade to a larger pot and give the plant fresh potting mix. The Xanthosoma Lindenii Magnificum needs rich, moist, well-drained soil. Regularly trim the plant to remove dead or damaged growth.

Watering Xanthosoma Lindenii Magnificum

The Xanthosoma Lindenii Magnificum has medium water needs and should be watered when the top few inches of soil are dry. This is a large plant that thrives in bright sunlight, so the soil may dry out quickly. Deeply water the plant until excess liquid drains through the holes in the pot. Remove runoff from the tray or outer pot. In the winter, the plant will need less frequent watering; continue to check the soil before watering about every two weeks.

As a tropical plant, the Xanthosoma Lindenii Magnificum needs high humidity. The plant can handle average humidity, but above-average humidity is best. Group several plants together or use a pebble tray or humidifier to increase the moisture in the air.

Feeding Xanthosoma Lindenii Magnificum

Routinely fertilize the Xanthosoma Lindenii Magnificum to support continued growth. Use a balanced plant food with an NPK ratio like 20-20-20. Plant food should be applied monthly during the spring and summer. A water-soluble product is easy to use and reduces the risk of fertilizer burn. Stop fertilizing the plant in the fall and winter when growth slows.
