Xanthosoma

Xanthosoma is a shade-loving plant with striking white veins on large tropical leaves. They are beautiful in the landscape, especially next to something vibrant, like a bromeliad. Not only does it compliment other plants very well, but they are relatively low maintenance. Xanthosoma love humidity and can tolerate our summers extremely well because they are native to Colombia. In its native habitat, Xanthosoma grows beneath large tropical trees that shield them from the sun. These aroids are used to a very tropical environment. If you’re growing them inside, check the first inch of soil a few times a week. When the first inch is dry, you can thoroughly water your plant. If indoors, the Flourish liquid fertilizer is the perfect option for you. Xanthosoma can be fertilized with Dynamite All-Purpose when planted in the ground.
