Anthurium Hookeri Black Dragon – A Rare, Exotic Jewel with Dark Green Foliage
The Anthurium Hookeri Black Dragon is a stunning and rare bird’s nest Anthurium, known for its thick, dark green, almost black leaves with a glossy, leathery texture. This unique variety is perfect for plant collectors who love bold, sculptural plants with an otherworldly appearance.
Wild Texture Dossier
A bold bird’s-nest anthurium with heavy, crocodile-skin corrugation and a deep, inky green ground. ‘Black Dragon’ holds an upright, self-supporting crown that reads architectural and rugged—perfect when you want foliage with attitude.
Spec Highlights
- Botanical: Anthurium hookeri ‘Black Dragon’ (bird’s-nest type)
- Habit: upright rosette; stout petioles; broad, paddle-like blades
- Surface: bullate (heavily pebbled) texture; satin-to-matte finish; thick leaf substance
- Interior scale: commonly ~45–80 cm (18–31 in) with steady routines
- Pet guidance: display out of nibbling reach
Placement Playbook
- Stands out on pedestals or low consoles—let the leaf texture catch side light.
- Pairs beautifully with smooth, matte planters; contrast with fine-leaf aroids for a curated mix.
- Works as a grounding piece among brighter variegates.
Light & Climate
- Illumination: diffused daylight or gentled morning rays; screen harsh midday sun to protect the bullate surface.
- Humidity: comfortable room moisture around 55–70% RH with mild airflow.
- Temperature: 20–29 °C (68–85 °F); keep away from cold drafts for crisp edges.
Water & Substrate
- Hydration rhythm: water when the top layer feels dry to the touch; drench, then drain completely—no standing water.
- Root zone: open, fast-draining blend—orchid bark + pumice/coarse perlite + coco chips; a light sphagnum accent for buffering.
- Crown sits slightly high in the mix to discourage basal wetness.
Feeding & Upkeep
- Nutrition: balanced fertilizer at ¼–½ strength during active growth; ease off as days cool.
- Grooming: dust leaves occasionally so the sculpted texture reads clean.
- Orientation: quarter-turn the planter every couple of weeks for even presentation.
Set-In Notes
Begin in cushioned light and ramp brightness gradually over 10–14 days. New flushes typically show the sharpest corrugation and richest dark tone.

More Theory than Actionable Advice on Game Design
Format: Paperback
Not a bad book, but not what I expected going in. I read this for a bookclub like event on twitch. I thought there was going to be actionable advice. Like 'do X to make Y feel". The introduction points out that the book is not about the emotional feelings a player receives from games, and this is true.
The book DOES provide a language for discussing game design at a more academic level. It is about the theory of how a game feels, and while I didn't agree with everything Steve wrote it was easy enough to follow the thoughts.

MUST HAVE for game devs
Format: Paperback
Fantastic book about the theories of what makes a game feel good and fun to play. I'd be doing the author a disservice if I attempted to explain it myself, just purchase the book and read it for yourself. Written very well and easy to understand even while going into very complex and intricate explanations.
I'd say that this is a must have for any game developer. Hell, even for those who are just interested in learning more about games.

Great Reading, Mind Opening
Format: Kindle
This is a terrifically interesting and entertaining book, which presented me with at least two blockbuster ideas that changed the way I think about the past. I'll get to those in a minute, but first a few general points. Charles Mann is a science journalist:who seems to specialize in BIG topics. His 2005 book ("1491", which argues that the pre-Columbian population of the Americas was much larger and more sophisticated than generally assumed), was very well received. I enjoyed it so much, and thought it so valuable a book, that I was very anxious to read "1493".
"1493" lived up to my (high) expectations. Mann is remarkable writer, with an extraordinary ability to present very complex facts and ideas in way that's not just accessible to the lay reader, it's fun for the lay reader. This isn't to say that the book isn't carefully researched -- the text is followed by almost 100 pages of footnotes, and throughout he cites and acknowledges the scientists and others from whom he has drawn information. It's just that Mann manages to combine a myriad of facts and hypotheses into a compelling narrative. And he often puts this in very concrete terms, focussing on individual people, commodities or events. It adds up to a fascinating read.
It is also a very important one, with implications for the future as well as about the past. Mann's subject in this book is the Columbian Exchange, the sudden movement of plants, microbes, animals and people between the eastern and western hemispheres after Columbus' voyage to the Americas in 1492. A well known effect of this was the eastern hemisphere adoption of western hemisphere foods (tomatoes, potatoes, chocolate, coffee, and on and on). Another effect that's only been recently come to be widely understood is the devastating impact on the pre-Columbian population of the Americas; as many as 80% died in the epidemics that followed the introduction of diseases to which they had no immunity. But the population die-off and the exchange of plant species are not the only effects of the Columbian Exchange. Mann's book explores the myriad ways in which the Exchange -- globablization -- has shaped the world of today.
Two things I learned from the book struck me particularly. First, like most Americans of my generation (older) I learned in school that the colonization of the Americas was carried out by white people, who moved into a largely uninhabited continent. "1491" took care of the uninhabited: "1493" takes care of the white. Mann says that from 1500 to 1840, about 3.4 million white Europeans emigrated to the Americas. Over the same period, about 11.7 million captive Africans were sent to the Americas. Except for New England, much of the United States and most of Latin American was far more black than white. (And probably in 1840 still more Indian/Native American than anything else). The racial balance changed as white immigration ramped up and as millions upon millions of blacks died too young, but the picture of early America looks very different to me now.
Secondly, Mann discussed at length the 19th century ecological disaster that engulfed China. I had always assumed that the floods that killed so many millions in China had always happened, and were the result of geography. There have indeed always been floods, but their severity and human cost grew logarithmically in the 19th century. New crops led to more food and to rising population growth, and at the same time to more potential cash crops, increasing the pressure on existing land holdings, and leading to vast land clearances. That made the floods far worse when they came, undermining the political structure and compounding China's problems. This was interesting not just a light on the past, but as a warning signal for the future.
The review is already too long, so, to sum it up: Great book!! Read it!! Give it to friends and family!!
