The Green Congo Philodendron is a bold and elegant tropical plant prized for its large, glossy green leaves and upright non-climbing growth. Native to the tropical regions of South America, this plant grows in a bushy, upright form, making it perfect as a statement piece in pots or garden beds. 

Its low-maintenance care requirements and lush foliage make it ideal for modern homes and offices. It’s also favored for its air-purifying abilities, helping improve indoor air quality by removing toxins.

Its ability to thrive in various light conditions adds to its widespread appeal. When mature, Congo Green Philodendron can grow up to 3 feet tall indoors and up to 4 feet outdoors in ideal conditions.

The broad, glossy, dark green leaves emerge from sturdy, upright stems, giving the plant a clean, architectural look.

It’s a non-climbing Philodendron, which means it maintains its compact, bushy shape without the need for support. This plant is evergreen, retaining its vibrant foliage throughout the year.

The flowers are typically inconspicuous and consist of a spadix surrounded by a green or white spathe. The plant is grown more for its foliage than its blooms, as the flowers do not add significant visual interest.

When it comes to care, it thrives in bright, indirect light for at least 4-6 hours daily, but it can also tolerate lower light levels, making it a versatile indoor plant. It prefers well-drained soil to avoid waterlogging. Water the plant when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry, ensuring the soil remains evenly moist but not soggy.

When growing indoors, it prefers a temperature range of 65–85°F, while outdoors, it can grow in USDA Zones 10–11.

Pruning should be done as needed to remove dead or damaged leaves and maintain their shape.

Fertilize your plant once a year in the spring, during the growing season, with a balanced, water-soluble NPK fertilizer to encourage lush growth.

The 'Green Congo' Philodendron can be propagated through division. Carefully remove the plant from its pot and divide it into sections with roots, making sure that each division has healthy stems and leaves. Water thoroughly and replant the divisions in fresh soil. Propagation is most effective during the spring and summer months when the plant is actively growing. 

According to ASPCA, the Philodendron ‘Congo Green’ is mildly toxic to pets and humans if ingested in large amounts. It is safe to touch and handle, but caution should be taken to keep it out of reach of curious pets and children.  

Overall, Philodendron ‘Green Congo’ is an exceptional plant that combines elegance with ease of care. Its lush green foliage and upright growth make it a standout addition to any space, while its adaptability and low-maintenance nature appeal to both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts. Whether as a potted indoor centerpiece or a striking addition to tropical outdoor landscapes, the Green Congo is sure to bring a touch of verdant beauty to your surroundings.

A wonderful telling of history.

A wonderful telling of history by an enjoyable author. It isn't light reading per se but if you want a read that will enhance your understanding of the American people this is a good book.

Scholarly and Readable, Too
Format: Paperback
I read the first volume in this series (about the Great Depression), and now I'm in the midst of this one. Kennedy's very-lucid prose keeps the reader moving along, and of course, the sweep of the story he's telling is nearly-irresistible. But in lamer hands, the prose might well have bogged down in turgidity--not so in this case!

Good but not as good
Format: Kindle
Freedom From Fear #1 was one of the most interesting and informational books I've ever read. Part Two was interesting but I did not learn much more about the war than I had known before other than the fact that, while Japan lost the war, Anglo-Saxons are no longer in control in the Far East. I somewhat disagree with his ending ideas about the "good" war, that it wasn't so "good" after all in it's outcome. However, those who fought in it and their families would probably disagree.

The Innovator's DNA - Disruptive Research - Disruptive Writing
A Politically Correct Status Quo It is politically correct in management circles to say that you are "results oriented" or that you "drive for results" in your organization. The status quo in business schools is to indoctrinate students in the delivery skills of analyzing, planning, detail-oriented implementing, and disciplined executing. This book and the research upon which it is based disrupts that politically correct status quo. Clayton Christensen has spent close to two decades creating the research, conceptual, and application foundation of the disruptive innovation body of knowledge. He has been working for more than 8 years with Jeff Dyer and Hal Gregersen, both gifted researchers, teachers, and consultants in their own right, on this project. These guys are a disruptive "dream team" of contributors. This book articulates an extension of the disruptive innovation body of knowledge that clearly describes an individual profile of the disruptive innovator and an organizational profile of an organization that makes disruptive innovation happen. So what makes this book disruptive? The first thing is timing. It arrives on the scene at a time when innovation is one of the most critical components of a solution to our global financial and organizational mess. If we are to get out of our morass of debt and sluggish growth and respond to the continually emerging challenges of a burgeoning global society it will ride on the backs and wings of innovation. The status quo must be disrupted for us to survive and thrive! Second is the audacity of the core models. The authors claim that innovation can be learned at both the individual and organizational level. Individuals can increase their ability to discover (Discovery Quotient - DQ) and learn to be more innovative. They cite the four specific behavioral skills of asking questions, engaging in observations, networking with people who have a different point of view, and experimenting to figure out what can work as the common elements of what innovators do. They also identify the cognitive skill of associational thinking, the ability to find connections between ideas that do not seem to be related to each other, as the connection between the behavioral skills and the generation of ideas. They extend their claim that the innovation competency can be learned to the organizational domain by saying that organizations can become more innovative through developing and leading people, designing and implementing processes, and advocating and living by philosophies that support innovation. These two arguments stand in stark contrast to the beliefs and practices of a vast majority of leaders and institutions. (For a diagram of the Model see [...]) 'And all of this is built upon the third source of disruption: research. Their work is based on well-founded research into the "DNA" of the world's leading innovators and the world's most innovative organizations. The authors conducted nearly 100 interviews of world class innovators and their colleagues to get at the heart of what innovators do. They also interviewed and surveyed executives who are not innovators. (Their survey data base has over 5000 respondents in it.) So they have been able to compare and contrast the two populations to more clearly see what it takes to effectively innovate. They have also done research on business results attributable to innovation. Collaborating with HOLT (a division of Credit Suisse) they were able to craft a measurement called the "innovation premium." This measure identifies if an organization's market capitalization can be accounted for by existing cash flows or if there is an innovation influence on the stock price. By using this measure, they have been able to clearly and objectively identify which organizations are benefiting from innovation. Yet to Explore The tension in the balance of influence and power between the leaders with predominantly "Discovery" or "Delivery" mindsets is an area that has yet to be explored. If the premises of this book are sound, and I believe they are, we need to figure out how to manage that tension and balance in order to generate, incubate, and strengthen innovative ideas as we bring them to full fruition in the marketplace. Great ideas that are not delivered upon are simply recreational pursuits that do not build great people, great institutions, and great societies. So there is work yet to do. Invest Your Time and Effort This book makes a significant contribution to both the disruptive innovation body of knowledge and the evolving body of practice on innovating disruptively. It is well worth reading, pondering, and acting upon.

Inspiring and well-written
This is a very interesting book written by some Harvard profs. They did a large national survey of innovative businesses and their leaders. The book posits that innovative people follow five skills: associating, questioning, observing, networking, and experimenting. These skills can be found at the individual or organizational level. The idea is that most people have these skills in their DNA and can bring them out with some practice. There are a lot of interesting and inspiring examples like Steve Jobs and Jeff Bezos. Although this book seems like a self-help type book with a lot of hype, it has an academic underpinning. Any organization that is interested in promoting innovation could benefit from encouraging these 5 skills. If you are interested in innovation or creativity in business or any organization that produces something, you will like this book. The books is a little distracting to read because it has sidebars all through it giving interesting examples that break up reading concentration. Aside from that, it is a well-written book that is easy and enjoyable to read. I enjoyed the book greatly and found it to be inspiring.
