Xanadu / Philodendron 'Winterbourn'
Botanical Name: Philodendron xanadu
Family: Araceae
Origin: Brazil
Plant Type: Evergreen clumping perennial (shrub-like)
Overview
A lush, shade-loving foliage plant that thrives in Adelaide and South Australian courtyards and under trees. ‘Xanadu’ forms tidy mounds of deeply lobed, glossy leaves that look tropical yet cope well with dry shade once established. Perfect for softening hard edges, filling difficult, low-light spots and bringing year-round green structure with minimal fuss.
Key Features
- Mature Size: 0.8–1.2 m H × 1.0–1.8 m W (clumping, naturally compact)
- Growth Rate: 15-30 cm per year under good conditions
- Foliage: Glossy deep-green, deeply lobed leaves; new growth brighter lime-green; in cool snaps or strong sun can show soft bronze/olive tints
-
Flowers: Rare greenish-white spathe/spadix in warm, humid conditions; not showy, not fragrant
- Seasonal Interest: Evergreen architectural foliage all year; fresh flushes of new leaves spring–autumn keep the clump looking full and polished
- Wildlife Value: Primarily a foliage plant; not significant for pollinators
- Tolerance: Heat-Tolerant (in shade); Wind-Tolerant in sheltered sites; Clay-Tolerant if soil is improved and well-drained. Light frost sensitive (protect on cold Adelaide hills nights). Not salt-spray hardy and not drought-hardy—prefers occasional deep soaks
- Planting Density: Mass plant: 2–3 per m² (40–60 cm apart). Edges/drifts: 1 per 0.6–1.0 m
- Pet Friendly: Toxic if chewed/ingested (calcium oxalate crystals); keep away from pets and children
Where It Works Best
- Sunlight: Bright shade to part shade (morning sun OK; avoid harsh afternoon sun)
- Soil: Rich, well-drained loam or improved clay with organic matter
- Water Needs: Establishment: 2 deep soaks/week for 8–12 weeks. Established: deep soak every 7–10 days in summer (weekly in heatwaves); monthly in winter if dry
- Maintenance: Remove yellow/tatty leaves; mulch in spring; feed with slow-release, foliage fertiliser in early spring and mid-summer
- Lifespan: 10-20+ years
- Climate Zones: Suited to temperate & Mediterranean SA; best in frost-sheltered Adelaide microclimates and coastal courtyards
- Soil pH: Slightly acidic to neutral (tolerates Neutral–mildly Alkaline if well-drained)
Landscape & Design Ideas
- Shade solution under eaves or open trees—pair with lomandra, aspidistra and clivia
- Tropical-look mass planting along paths and courtyards in Adelaide for year-round texture
- Large feature pots in bright shade to green up patios and entries
Why You Will Love It
‘Xanadu’ gives you instant, tropical foliage with almost no maintenance, exactly what many South Australian gardens need in shaded, dry spots. It stays compact, looks lush all year and elevates paths, patios and under-storey plantings with sculptural leaves that always read “designed.”

Mastery is the goal, The Laws of Human Nature is the Truth
Format: Hardcover
Mastery is the goal. It’s us striving for our best. It’s optimistic. The Laws of Human Nature is what we actually are.
I read the first chapter and put it down for a week. I knew I trusted the author and that I could gain incredible insight in finishing the book. But I had to drop my expectations and comparisons to his other work and wrap my head around the journey I was going to take. Now I am near the end of the book and feel incredibly connected to myself. Here’s why:
I’ve become spoiled with the author’s other works—learning the game, how to win, manipulate, and grow. But to me, regarding his other works, it always felt like the weaknesses rested on my adversaries. I was above them. I had secret weapons. This is no longer the case. Maybe it’s also an age and perspective thing. I started his books in my early 20’s and now I’m older. I am more grounded in my ability to understand others and my arrogance has been replaced with curiosity. My existential crises come out in jokes rather than tears and I’ve accepted that absolutely everything is absurd. (I’ve also read The Denial of Death by Ernest Becker and come to terms with my impermanence which makes Laws of Human Nature less tragic to take on.)
I loved the scientific and historical examples throughout. Trusting the author, I didn’t mind that the format was a bit different than his other works. Typically, they begin with an historical example and are followed by a breakdown then a law. This book is the opposite. I didn’t mind being presented information first, followed by historical or scientific examples later as it gave me room to find the examples in my own life first. I think this book isn’t meant to be skimmed and that the formatting is intentional.
The reader needs to be ready to look at the uglier parts of themselves. To really delve in, I had to realize that I am not the exception to any of the rules or laws outlined in his other work. I am the rule. I almost wished I had read this one first. I’ve used his other work to build my life circumstances, but not so often reflected on my own weaknesses in such a microscopic way as required by The Laws of Human Nature. It causes one to breakdown themselves and their processes and doesn’t throw a stone on the adversary or tackle external circumstances as much in my opinion. In Laws of Human Nature, I am both the adversary and the obstacle.
This book is a true exercise in humility and honest self-reflection. It’s not the game tape outlined in the author’s other works. It is the finish line. It brings us back to the beginning—our true ugly, flawed, selfish selves. Get through the grieving process to acceptance, and this is an incredible book.

Lovely
Format: Paperback
Good book, but you know the usual has its fluff, but that’s all Robert Green books. However, the stories are unmatched and if you have a vivid imagination, you’ll be able to understand and comprehend what’s going on ,it’s lovely.

Different, but in a good way
Format: Paperback
I have read all of Robert Greenes previous books, and I always walked away in amazement. I would see the negative reviews those books received, but I would always ignore them and thank God that I did. That compelled me to buy this book once I saw it was released and once again, the negative review bugs are back out. Normally, I wouldn’t write a review on a book because I would rather the reader form their own opinion. This book is different, and I would like to address this for anyone who is a Robert Greene fan or in the process of becoming one.
This book is exactly what every human alive needs to read, which is why I am writing this review to stop the second guessers. It focuses on how our emotions are destructive and how we must be careful about how freely we let them out now. Yes, the style is different from his past books. He goes into narratives about the different emotions, what they can do, and how we can control them while occasionally touching on how they played out in history. For many fans of his previous books, this can be disappointing as we are used to reading thrilling tales throughout history and how they play into the law he is explaining in that chapter with side bar quotes of knowledge from historic figures. I understand why he could not take that approach with this book, as he wanted to focus more on explaining the emotions on a psychological level instead of a historical one.
Is there entertaining and historic tales in the book? Yes, somewhat but nowhere near like his past books. I ask that you open your mind to this book and allow your knowledge to grow in a world where emotional control is decaying. Like he said in this book, don’t let your emotional impulses cloud your judgement. Step back, take a second, reassess and approach this book with a clear mind. You will thank me for it.

In-depth and comprehensive
Format: Kindle
This book was so full of information about the human animal. Is the only wish I had this information earlier in my life. I wish my kids would read it, and perhaps they will. It's very in depth and leaves me reflecting on how I want to change some of my thinking and behaviors like no other book I've read. I wish I belonged to a book club just to discuss it with other readers!
I don't necessarily agree with everything that the author states. But it was a most thought provoking book and I read allot of books! Allot of work went into the writing of this book. Near perfect editing which I appreciated. I am a big fan of human psychology and it held my interest and kept me up too late not wanting to put it down!
