Philodendron xanadu requires watering every 7–14 days. Allow the top layer of soil to dry between waterings to prevent root rot. Reduce watering frequency during winter when growth slows.

Xanadu Philodendron thrives in bright indirect light conditions. The optimal light range is 250–1000 lux. Avoid placing Xanadu Philodendron in direct, harsh sunlight for extended periods, as this can scorch the foliage.
