 A striking blend of elegance and wild charm, Philodendron squamiferum is a true collector’s delight, celebrated for its dramatically lobed foliage and uniquely fuzzy, red-haired petioles. With each new leaf unfurling in a deep emerald green, this rare aroid evokes the look of a tropical oak leaf—with five distinct lobes that add architectural flair to any plant collection. But it’s the vibrant red petioles, covered in soft bristle-like hairs (known as pubescence), that steal the show, adding a textural surprise that’s both tactile and visually captivating.

Native to the humid rainforests of South America, Philodendron Squamiferum is a climbing hemiepiphyte, meaning it loves to grow up and out—making it perfect for moss poles or trellises. With time and care, this beauty becomes a dramatic vertical specimen that brings both sophistication and a touch of the wild jungle indoors.

Why You’ll Love It: 💚

  • Fuzzy Red Stems: Covered in soft, velvety hairs that create an unexpected contrast to the glossy green leaves.
  • Dramatic Leaf Shape: Deeply lobed, long-lasting leaves that change form and size as the plant matures.
  • Vertical Jungle Vibes: A natural climber that thrives when given room to rise.

Plant Care FAQs: 🪴

  • Plant Type: Chill
  • Plant Vibe: Textural Drama
  • Botanical Name: Philodendron squamiferum
  • Common Name: Red Bristle Philodendron
  • Growth Habit: Climbing hemiepiphyte
  • Mature Size: Can reach 6–8 feet indoors with proper support
  • Soil Type: Well-draining mix with a balance of organic matter and aeration (peat, perlite, bark)
  • Soil pH: Slightly acidic to neutral (5.5–6.5)
  • Temperature: Prefers 65–85°F; sensitive to cold temperatures below 55
  • Light Requirements: Enjoys bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light levels, insufficient light may slow growth and diminish its vibrant green hues. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate leaves.
  • Watering: Keep soil evenly moist, but never soggy; allow the top 1–2 inches to dry slightly between waterings
  • Humidity Requirements: Thrives in high humidity (60–80%)
  • Fertilizer: Use a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season
  • Toxicity: Toxic to pets and humans if ingested. Keep it out of reach of curious children and animals.

🏆 Pro Care Tip: To encourage larger leaves and a robust growth habit, provide a moss pole or stake early on. The fuzzy petioles can collect dust—gently brush or rinse occasionally to keep them clean. Mist regularly or use a pebble tray for added humidity.


Plant Styling Tip: Let Philodendron squamiferum climb a rustic moss pole in a matte black or natural clay pot to contrast the fuzzy red petioles and glossy green leaves. Ideal for vertical garden walls or corner statement plants.

Tea Pairing: Enjoy a cup of Hibiscus Rose Tea while admiring your Philodendron squamiferum—the tart floral notes echo the bold, yet delicate nature of this exotic beauty.

Whether you’re deepening your aroid collection or just beginning your plant journey, Philodendron squamiferum adds texture, personality, and a touch of red-haired whimsy to any space.

disappointing
Format: Hardcover
I was excited to read "Under a White Sky". Unfortunately, it seems that the author just sort of stopped writing when COVID hit. See page 197, where author laments the arrival of COVID. FOur pages later, book ends. The author even says on page 197: "Here I was, trying to finish a book about the world spinning out of control, only to find the world spinning so far out of control that I couldn't finish the book". Couldn't finish the book, but COULD publish it and sell it to people like me. The early chapters are interesting, each one covering a different topic related to man messing with nature. Good stuff. But I expect some analysis, some conclusion, something to sum it all up. It just isn't there. Topic and early chapters showed great promise. But the ending is truly lacking. And as the author alludes, unfinished.

As A Dominant Species, We Dance On The Razor’s Edge
Format: Hardcover
Under A White Sky Elizabeth Kolbert’s claim to fame is her book The Sixth Extinction. In comparison Kolbert’s under A White Sky is rather short and disorganized, yet her coverage of those working on solutions to Climate Change is pretty darn interesting.  In her conclusion, she writes, “This has been a book about people trying to solve problems created by people trying to solve problems.” Putting this sentence at the book’s beginning rather than buried at its end would have provided a reader a compass to help determine where Kolbert was going with her dialogue. As she wades through the reversed direction of the Chicago river; Asian carp; Cane toads; forced and accelerated evolution in regard to coral, in particular in regard to the Great Barrier Reef (without discussing the importance of the worlds reefs; the continual flooding of New Orleans both despite and because of the actions of The Army Corps of engineers, one begins to ponder a general connection that might exist, while the book itself is headed toward a two star rating. Then, Kolbert got to Global Warming and Climate science. The book’s last sixty pages are worth the complete price of admission. The chapter begins with carbon sequestration, the pros and cons of how it can be done, and does it also contribute to the growing problem. The stoppered bathtub” analogy is perhaps the best analogy I’ve heard in regard to the anthropocentric carbon dioxide problem on the Earth. The tub is full of water/ the sky’s CO2 level; the tubs stoppered, so the water isn’t going anywhere, and the atmosphere’s increased CO2 level won’t drop in the near future either; and even if the water flow to the tub is reduced, it will still accumulate until over flowing, as will reduced emissions continue to amass in the atmosphere. In a sense, we are already beyond the tipping point in terms of global temperature increase. Harvard University Center for the Environment director Dan Schrag says, “I’m a scientist. My job is not to tell people the good news. My job is to describe the world as accurately as possible.” He predicts, due to the fact that the oceans must equilibriate. “If we were to stop CO2 emissions tomorrow, which of course isn’t possible, it’s still going to warm for centuries. That’s just basic physics.” Thus enters the topic of geoengineering, and the connection with people trying to solve problems created by people trying to solve problems truly comes into focus. Kolbert , in a rather clandestine way connects the dots of her past “local problems”, but now the problem fix, if it doesn’t work could create problems beyond solving. She hits the nail on the head with this. Humans have been around 35-50 thousand years, but only the last ten thousand or so have they thrived, largely due to agriculture and differentiation of what one can do because of agriculture. But ag has only been able to thrive because of the rather consistent global weather of the past ten thousand years, due to glacial retreat. This has been presented in great detail by Jared Diamond in his book Guns, Germs, and Steel. The CO2 we’ve put into the atmosphere isn’t going anywhere, as we continue to pour more into the mix. Her interviews with climate scientists do not bode well for our species, as everything they think of to combat the CO2 conundrum brings more as the bathtub continues to fill. One could say humans have become victims of their own success as a species. Ultimately, one gets the feeling from Kolbert and her interviews, that the enormous fluctuations in the Earth’s climate over geological time, and those yet to come, render whatever we do as humans as a moot point. The Earth will shake is off as a dog rids itself of fleas. She also brings to the argument, when the blank really hits the fan, as it will despite, or because of any preventative efforts by man, the resulting population displacements will be staggering. A sobering, informative book as we, as a species, dance on the razor’s edge.

fascinating and compellingly written
Format: Hardcover
Elizabeth Kolbert is one of my favorite nonfiction authors. She has such a knack for writing in a clear, compelling way that makes you think and marvel and ask questions you've never considered before. In her previous book, The Sixth Extinction, she catalogs all the ways in which humans have drastically changed the natural world, ushering the new age of the Anthropocene. Under a White Sky is an exploration of the ways scientists around the world are trying to undo those changes. There are people engineering unique solutions to combat a variety of environmental threats: invasive carp in the Chicago River and cane toads in Australia, Louisiana's rapidly disappearing Mississippi River delta, rare species that now depend entirely on human conservation for their continued survival, and, perhaps most pressingly, the problem of rising carbon emissions and global climate change. That there are brilliant minds working innovatively to solve these problems inspires optimism. But these sobering portraits really highlight the extreme human measures it takes to keep at bay the problems caused by humans interfering with nature in the first place. We've already transformed the planet; how much more will it be transformed by these interventions, and in what ways?
