philodendron golden Philodendron Golden Dragon variegated 'Ocean Mint'Philodendron Golden Dragon variegated Ocean Mint is a rare variety prized primarily for its distinctive mint colored variegation. While many variegated Philodendrons develop white, cream, or yellow patterns, this variety displays soft shades of mint green, gray green, and light green. This creates a more subtle yet often more exclusive effect that differs significantly from the more well known variegata varieties. What makes this plant so interesting

Philodendron Golden Dragon variegated ‘Ocean Mint’ is a rare variety prized primarily for its distinctive mint-colored variegation. While many variegated Philodendrons develop white, cream, or yellow patterns, this variety displays soft shades of mint green, gray-green, and light green. This creates a more subtle yet often more exclusive effect that differs significantly from the more well-known variegata varieties.

What makes this plant so interesting to many collectors is that its appearance is constantly changing. No two leaves develop exactly the same way, and the color intensity appears to be strikingly dependent on lighting conditions. In bright light, new leaves can turn out significantly lighter and more mint-like, while the same plant develops a darker and more subtle pattern under less intense light.

Origin

The Golden Dragon belongs to the climbing Philodendrons and is known for its characteristic deeply lobed leaves, which become increasingly spectacular as the plant matures. The exact lineage of Golden Dragon is not fully documented within the hobby, but the plant is cultivated worldwide for its striking leaf shape and vigorous growth.

The name ‘Ocean Mint’ is used within the collecting community for selections that develop a distinct mint-colored variegation. This primarily refers to a selected form and not to an officially botanically described cultivar. As a result, individual plants may differ from one another in pattern and color intensity.

Characteristics

Philodendron Golden Dragon variegated ‘Ocean Mint’ forms elongated leaves that become increasingly deeply lobed as they grow. Young leaves are often relatively simple in shape, while older plants develop the characteristic “dragon shape” from which the Golden Dragon gets its name.

Its greatest appeal lies in its variegation. New leaves can display combinations of: mint green, gray-green, light green, and dark green.

Some leaves develop a fine marbled pattern, while others develop larger mint-colored sections. This makes every plant unique.

What we regularly observe with mint varieties of Golden Dragon is that the same plant can take on a different appearance throughout the year. Under grow lights or very bright indirect light, new leaves often develop a much lighter mint color, while leaves under less intense light retain a deeper green hue. This effect seems to be more pronounced in this selection than in many other Philodendrons.

As the plant grows larger and is provided with a moss pole or other climbing support, both the leaf size and the depth of the leaf lobes typically increase significantly.

Care

Light

This Philodendron grows best in bright, indirect light.

Sufficient light helps keep the mint-colored variegation clearly visible. Too little light can cause new leaves to turn darker and develop less contrast.

Temperature

Ideal temperatures range between 18 and 28 °C. Protect the plant from cold drafts and prolonged temperatures below 15 °C.

Substrate

Use an airy aroid potting mix with a good balance between moisture retention and ventilation. A mixture of bark, coconut coir, and other airy components usually works very well.

Humidity

A humidity level of 60 percent or higher promotes healthy leaf development and vigorous growth.

Watering

Allow the top layer of the growing medium to dry out slightly between waterings. Avoid keeping the roots wet for extended periods.

Preferably use demineralized water.

Fertilization

During the active growth period, a diluted houseplant or aroid fertilizer can be applied regularly.

Growth

This plant grows as a climber and develops significantly larger leaves when provided with support. A moss stick or similar climbing support typically results in more impressive leaf development than when the plant is kept hanging.

Great book for young minds to learn about prejudice, immigration, and keeping your identity.
Format: Hardcover
Brand spanking new hardcover. Quality was great. That's the product from Amazon. The story itself has become priceless. I bought it to participate in the Great Global Read Aloud project with my class. However, being fourth generation American born Chinese AND teaching to students of various ethnic backgrounds and citizenship, this story really spoke to me. My 6 year old son has asked me to read it aloud to him as I was vetting the book and has really enjoyed it. Keep in mind there are some mentions of "idiot" and "hell", both in context, but I probably won't read it aloud exactly like that in the classroom to avoid any issues. It's a very eye opening story and lends itself to a lot of conversation about where you come from, who you want to be, and how to be the true you, without giving way to stereotypes and prejudices. These days, more people could use a more humbling story like this to truly just make LIFE GREAT AGAIN, no matter where you live.

One of the best middle grade books of 2018!
Format: Hardcover
FRONT DESK is loosely based on author Kelly Yang’s life experience, as explained in an author’s note at the end of the book. Her straightforward writing makes this book perfect for younger middle grade readers (Mia is 10). Yet Yang tackles difficult issues like interpersonal, systemic, and institutional racism. She writes so simply and honestly, it’s hard to imagine a young person walking away without understanding these powerful messages. FRONT DESK is infused with dark truths about America and still manages to be light, heartwarming, and fast-paced. Lovable Mia solves problems by using her writing skills—not her math skills as her mother wishes she would. She beats the system by using her words, often disguised as the words of adults, to point out injustices and find pathways to a better life for her family and friends. Mia’s and her parents’ find—actually, create—community at the Calavista Motel. They fight back when multiple systems conspire to make life impossible for Hank, an African American man who lives at the hotel. They devise a system to hide desperate Chinese immigrants in vacant rooms. This is deep social justice work, accompanied by anecdotes of Mia’s follies at the front desk and problems at school. The book ends on a hopeful note, with the Tangs’ community surrounding them to help them take the first step off the poverty rollercoaster. The solution they come up with has a chance at helping others get off, too. FRONT DESK shifts the narrative about the American experience, acknowledging that there are many American experiences. The pathway to the American Dream can take many forms, and Yang has described one that is heart wrenching, hopeful, and a lot of fun along the way.

This is my middle school daughter’s favorite book.
Format: Paperback
My daughter usually reads only graphic novels, but she started reading chapter books after this one. She loved it so much that she’s read it several times, and since it’s a series, we bought and read all the other books too. It’s a great book for middle school girls—easy to get into and very engaging.

Perfect Combo of Fun and Serious
Format: Kindle
This story was the perfect combination of humor and seriousness. I, even as an adult, remember some of those same feelings and the drama of junior high years. It made me take a look even at myself and ask what I look for in people? It made me ask myself if I need to reach out and apologize. But it also ales me want to do better. Step away from social media. When on social media, make sure I think about my comments and how they can be construed or make people feel. Help my nieces and nephews compliment actions and other such areas and not looks. To look deeper into a person. Well written. Lots of fun. And just what I needed in a book. Chad Morris and Shelly Brown do it again.
