Philodendron 'Green Dragon' – Fast-Growing Hybrid with Distinctive Lobed Foliage

Philodendron 'Green Dragon' is a vigorous hybrid, believed to have Philodendron bipennifolium in its parentage. Its bold, pinnate lobes give the leaves a sculptural appearance, while occasional golden splashes of variegation add extra ornamental value. This fast-growing climber adapts easily to indoor culture and quickly develops into an impressive specimen with proper support.

Key features of 'Green Dragon'

  • Leaf form: deeply lobed, pinnate blades with an unusual silhouette.
  • Colour: fresh green foliage, sometimes showing golden variegated streaks.
  • Growth habit: fast-growing, scandent philodendron with strong climbing ability.
  • Display impact: large, architectural leaves that bring a tropical statement indoors.

Background and hybrid origin

While its exact breeding remains uncertain, 'Green Dragon' is widely believed to involve P. bipennifolium, known for its dragon-shaped leaf outline. This hybrid builds on those traits with greater vigour and ornamental variation, making it an attractive choice for collectors who value bold foliage forms.

Care instructions for Philodendron 'Green Dragon'

  • Light: thrives in bright, indirect light; occasional golden variegation shows best with steady exposure.
  • Temperature: ideal at 20 – 28 °C; growth slows if temperatures fall below 16 °C.
  • Humidity: prefers 60 – 80%, though it tolerates average indoor levels.
  • Watering: water when the top 2 – 3 cm of substrate are dry; avoid letting roots sit in water.
  • Substrate: chunky, well-draining aroid mix with bark, perlite, and coco coir.
  • Feeding: regular, diluted fertilisation during the growing season supports rapid growth.
  • Support: benefits from a moss pole or trellis to climb and produce larger leaves.

Common grower challenges

  • Small leaves: usually from lack of climbing support; provide a pole for larger blades.
  • Variegation fading: insufficient light can reduce golden streaks; increase filtered brightness.
  • Yellowing foliage: often caused by excess watering or poorly drained substrate.
  • Pests: watch for thrips or mites, especially on tender new leaves.

Collector’s notes

  • Comparison: shares traits with P. bipennifolium but grows faster and can develop variegation.
  • Impact: lobed leaves give a tropical, dragon-like aesthetic rare among hybrids.
  • Rarity: not widely distributed, making it a standout in curated collections.
  • Toxicity: philodendrons contain calcium oxalate; keep away from pets and children.

Etymology

Genus:Philodendron (Schott, 1830), from Greek philo- “loving” + dendron “tree,” referencing its natural climbing behaviour.Cultivar name: ‘Green Dragon’ refers to its bold, lobed foliage reminiscent of a dragon’s outline.

Propagation and growth

  • Propagation: stem cuttings with at least one node root reliably in warm, humid setups.
  • Medium: sphagnum moss or fine bark/perlite blends ensure quick root establishment.
  • Indoor size: fast climber reaching 1 – 2 m indoors with support; leaves expand with maturity.

Why Philodendron 'Green Dragon' deserves a spot in your collection

With its dragon-like lobed leaves, fast growth, and occasional golden variegation, Philodendron 'Green Dragon' is a bold and rewarding hybrid for collectors who appreciate unusual foliage forms.

It's How Wars End That Become Important Afterward
Format: Paperback
The twentiety century taught us a lot about wars and how they end. World War I showed us that making strong demands on the defeated (who didn't admit defeat to their own people) set the stage for the next big war. World War II was fought until the Unconditional Surrender of the Germans and Japanese. Something that thinkers still debate as having made them fight all that harder. VietNam was fought with no clear end in sight, and "another VietNam" entered our language. The first Gulf War was ended when Colin Powell and Bush II debated how to end the war. They stopped before they had to go in and see what the Sunni's, Shiite's and Kurds made of the power vacuum left by the removal of Saddam would have created. Bush II is learning about this now. This is the second revised edition of this book, originally published in 1971 and then updated in 1991 and now 2005 to reflect happenings in new wars. Still some of the old wars had interesting insights that I didn't know before, such as how Finland, originally on Germany's side against Russia, made a peace with Russia and kicked the Germans out before they became a Russian province. Great Book.

Complementary readings
Format: Paperback
There are already three good reviews so I will only suggest reading the following books instead of, or in addition to, this peculiar work: a) "War in human civilization" by Azar Gat; b) "War before Civilization. The Myth of the Peaceful Savage", by Lawrence Keeley; c) "How War Began" by Keith F. Otterbein; d) "War and Peace and War: The Rise and Fall of Empires" by Peter Turchin; and e) "War and the Law of Nations: A General History" by Stephen Neff.

Excellent short-book analysis
Format: Paperback
This short book is an outstanding analysis of how nations end wars, or accept peace. Ikle shows how governments often prefer obviously self-destructive courses rather then compromise peace terms. The problem is most acute when factional interests dominate strategy rather then a rational unitary interest. In such a circumstance, factions that benefit from continuing the war will accuse those pursuing peace of treason. Sadly, there is no equivalent derogatory word in English for those who pursue war to the detriment of their country. The book was first written in 1971, and most of the examples are from the two world wars. The work is still extremely relevant, and at 130 pages it's well worth the time. Highly recommended as a first book to read on ending war.
