Ph. Xanadu cuttings...

9 years ago

This morning, on my walk, I stumbled across a huge pile of freshly cut philodendron Xanadu cuttings. I took sixteen. They all have half a dozen leaves and from four to twelve inches of stem. Thick stem. From what I gather these should be no-brainers to plant but I have no experience with these. I assume I should let them lie in a shady place for a day or so before I plant them? Any advice is much appreciated...thank you!

I'm always stopping on debris day rummaging for discards! I would plant them in pots, good potting soil till they root. You'll know soon enough which ones will make it. Shade and keep moist........expensive plant.....good find!

Thanks! Yes, if most of them live it'll be a really great find.
