Thaumatophyllum 'African Fantasy' – Hybrid Floor Aroid with Transforming, Deeply Lobed Leaves
Thaumatophyllum 'African Fantasy' is a horticultural hybrid of Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum × Thaumatophyllum spruceanum, uniting dramatic lobing with elegant, architectural form. Juvenile leaves emerge smooth and entire; with maturity, foliage develops pronounced, multi-lobed shapes. Each new leaf is distinct, giving a dynamic, ever-changing display in modern interiors.
Previously circulated under names like Philodendron 'Angela', Philodendron selloum × Philodendron goeldii, this plant is now correctly placed in Thaumatophyllum following morphological and genetic research within Araceae.
What Makes 'African Fantasy' Stand Out
- Leaf transformation: Entire juvenile blades evolve into large, deeply lobed fronds.
- Statement presence: Glossy, rich green foliage and a self-supporting, tree-like habit.
- Hybrid vigour: Adaptable and resilient, combining strengths of both parent species.
Natural Context of the Parent Species
T. bipinnatifidum occurs in subtropical South America (Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, Argentina) along forest edges and bright understory sites. T. spruceanum inhabits humid lowland rainforest of the western/central Amazon (Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador). Understanding these niches helps tailor indoor care: bright filtered light, warm temperatures, steady moisture, and good air around roots.
Light and Positioning for Optimal Leaf Development
- Best in bright, indirect light to maximise leaf size and lobe depth.
- Tolerates medium light with slower growth; avoid harsh midday sun to prevent scorch.
- Allow space for lateral spread; ideal as a focal floor plant against a plain wall or open corner.
Water, Humidity and Temperature – Keeping Growth Consistent
- Watering: Let the top 2 – 3 cm of substrate dry before watering again. In warm, bright conditions growth is faster and the mix dries sooner; in cooler, lower-light situations, extend intervals to avoid staying wet.
- Drainage: Always empty saucers; do not leave roots standing in water.
- Humidity: Performs reliably at typical indoor humidity; 50 – 70% supports larger, cleaner leaves and reduces edge browning.
- Temperature: Target 18 – 27 °C; protect from cold drafts or hot, dry airflow.
Soil Recipes and Potting Choices for Healthy Roots
- Aroid mix: 40% quality potting compost, 30% orchid bark (medium), 20% perlite or coarse pumice, 10% coco coir/fine bark. Aim for airy, chunky structure that holds moisture without stagnation.
- Container: Pots with large drainage holes; terracotta improves aeration (dries faster – monitor accordingly).
- Semi-hydro: Adapts well to inert substrates (e.g., expanded clay, mineral mixes) with stable nutrient solution and oxygenation.
Fertilising and Repotting – Simple, Effective Routine
- Feed every 4 – 6 weeks with a balanced liquid fertiliser at low dose on already moist substrate.
- Optionally add a light layer of slow-release granules for background nutrition.
- Repot every 2 – 3 years or when roots circle the base; increase pot size gradually to maintain aeration.
Propagation and Ongoing Upkeep
- Propagation: Stem cuttings with at least one node; root in water, perlite, or airy substrate before potting up.
- Maintenance: Rotate periodically for even light; remove yellow or damaged leaves at the base; wipe dust from leaf surfaces.
- Support: Naturally self-supporting; staking rarely needed once established.
Growth Habit and Expected Size
- Upright, self-supporting habit with spreading canopy.
- Typical indoor size 1.2 – 1.5 m under good care; individual leaves to ~60 cm.
- Toxicity: Contains insoluble calcium oxalates; keep out of reach of pets and children.
Common Issues and Fast Fixes
- Yellowing leaves: Often from excess moisture or compact mix – improve drainage and allow more drying between waterings.
- Brown tips/edges: Increase humidity stability and maintain consistent, moderate moisture.
- Pests: Inspect for spider mites, mealybugs, thrips; rinse foliage and treat promptly with insecticidal soap or appropriate controls.
- Leggy or small leaves: Move to brighter filtered light; ensure feeding and root aeration are adequate.
Styling and Placement Ideas
- Showcase silhouette by giving fronds room to expand – avoid crowding against furniture.
- Pair with broad-leaf aroids for a layered, tropical look; use warm-toned planters to highlight deep green foliage.
Etymology and Botanical Notes
Thaumatophyllum combines Greek “thauma” (wonder) and “phyllon” (leaf), reflecting the dramatic foliage. Parent species span South America from subtropical forest edges to humid Amazonian understory; reclassification from Philodendron to Thaumatophyllum follows phylogenetic work in Araceae.

Nice but short
Size: X-Large, Color: Lavender
Yes, I purchased this shirt for my husband to wear on Mother’s Day. He looked so handsome and the color complimented his skin tone beautifully. The only con that my husband expressed was that the shirt was short but was comfortable and the fabric felt good on his skin. He is 6’3” and usually wears an XLT. Coofandy, Please make these shirts for taller, longer torso men!

Expensive Look Without The Expense!
Size: Medium, Color: Black, Size: Medium, Color: Black
Sizing:
If you’re a true large like me and close to but less than fifteen pounds overweight, normal length and with a 44” chest, buy a medium and use the shirt to inspire you to lose the beer belly. If you have similar dimensions but are overweight by up to thirty pounds, get the large.
Materials: The mediums are manufactured to 70% synthetic, 30% linen—which is a great mix, as is doesn’t have to be ironed after it’s washed and hung to dry, nor does it have to be ironed every time you get up from a chair. I’ve had many 100% linen shirts and sure, they look great after you spend thirty minutes ironing them, just to look like a crumpled up newspaper after you get out of your car. My experience with linen shirts is what brought me here.
Unboxing the shirt:
I threw it on an ironing board the moment I unbagged it. I tried the Synthetic setting on the iron—it wasn’t enough. I then tried the Wool setting and set the steam setting to constant medium to high. It worked great. I didn’t have to press down at all, just lightly glided the iron across wrinkled areas of the shirt. Within five minutes, the shirt looked like a hundred-dollar shirt. The material is light, yet feels heavy to the touch and breathes very well in the heat. The hidden buttons give a clean, modern look that allows the shirt to be worn with anything from shorts and sandals to dress slacks and shoes in a club. I like to wear these shirts, untucked with a pair of jeans and western boots. This shirt is very comfortable, fits nice and is extremely versatile.

Great for the price
Size: Medium, Color: Grey
Nice and light material. Looks good. Suitable for hot temperatures and casual attire. The only thing I've noticed so far that isn't so great, is that the buttons are rather cheap and the middle part broke out on a few of them.

Impressive solution for the price
Configuration: 3-pack, Style: without eero Plus
I'm a network engineer snob who won't hesitate a single second to give most of the home router and wifi junk sold today a terrible review when it's warranted. After having two router/wifi solutions made by that company that starts with Net and ends with Gear fail on me in less than 6 months, I was about ready to spend a few grand on a Ubiquiti solution and wire up my home for access points and cameras. Then a colleague and friend of mine suggested this eero mesh system as a lower cost/effort option. I'm not a fan of plug and play stuff and was skeptical but figured I could return it if not happy. I have to say I'm pretty impressed. The set up was almost too easy. Just download the eero app to your phone, plug a device in and connect the 2.5g port to your router and the app will walk you through it all. Most importantly, it worked really well when solutions like this from other vendors don't forcing you to connect a cable and manually set up. At first I didn't like that there isn't any ability to give the 2.4ghz and 5ghz networks different SSIDs (I had my previous router set up this way and changing this would have meant climbing up a ladder and reconfiguring several Ring cameras) but eero let's you change the name of the Guest Network to anything you want so this was an easy work around. As others have mentioned download the Wifiman app and shortcut and start scanning your house after you install the main router/wifi device. When you find spots that the signal drops below GOOD quality (-70dbm) drop another unit in between the first and where the signal dropped to poor quality. I bought the 3 pack thinking I'd need it to cover a 6,000 sq ft home. However one device was provided good coverage for most of my house and two provided either excellent or good signal strength everywhere inside and even outside on my patio and driveway. I only have one device on the first and second floors and both floors as well as the basement are all receiving good/excellent signal quality. I could have definitely saved $100 and gone with a two pack but I'm ok with having an extra device as a back up or if someone else in the family needs it (keep in mind any of these devices can act as a standalone router/wifi solution) or even to temporarily extend WiFi farther out into my yard in fair weather for outdoor gatherings etc.. Overall I'm impressed. The dashboard and tools/analytics included with the app are more than adequate for home users. You can even set up alerts for new devices connecting to your network. The GUI is modern and responsive and not like some of the traditional router vendors who still support an antiquated web login that takes forever to connect, lags between function and times out frequently. Time will tell if this is reliable but as mentioned a friend and colleague who owns his own network solution business told me he installs these in homes where the cost and wiring of a Ubiquiti or similar solution is prohibitive and he's never had an issue with their performance and reliability.

Bomb.com
Configuration: 3-pack, Style: without eero Plus
Not sure why this doesn’t have 5 stars from everyone! Got the three device set up and man this couldn’t have been easier to set up. This system is bomb, like I’m not sure how much easier of a setup people even want. Everything was basically plug-and-play, and the app walks you through it so smoothly it almost feels too easy.
Performance-wise, it’s been amazing. The coverage is solid throughout the whole house, and the speeds are not just fast—they’re consistent everywhere on Wi-Fi, not just when you’re hardwired. I haven’t had any random drops or dead zones like I used to deal with. Compared to the Cox gateway, it’s not even close. They charge $15 a month to rent that thing and it doesn’t hold a candle to this setup—honestly kind of ridiculous.
And the quality? Top tier. It honestly feels like an Apple product. From the packaging to the devices themselves, even the cords and the app—everything just feels super polished and premium. I’m actually glad Amazon acquired eero because you can see that level of refinement in the whole experience.
My only complaint is the price tag. $400 is definitely not cheap. But when you break it down, Cox charges $15 a month to rent their gateway—that’s $180 a year. In just about two years, this system basically pays for itself, and you’re getting way better performance the whole time.
Overall, 110% happy with this purchase.
