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.

Building something wonderful out of the broken pieces
Format: Hardcover
Meg Eden Kuyatt has done it again. I am a big fan of novel in verse, and this author is one reason why. The poetry delivers character, setting, and story in a clear, believable voice. The protagonist, V, is a middle school girl full of feelings, celebrating her difference while fighting for her place in the wonderland of neurotypicals. V introduces herself in vibrant socks that say “I am strange and wonderful.” And with that, we are off. V is reluctantly spending the summer with her grandma Jojo in the pristine white house that has been in her family for generations. History is definitely living here. The house is a character itself (and a metaphor). I love that V’s cousin Cat creates assemblages, an art form I was not familiar with. Cat describes it as taking discarded, broken stuff and turning it into something beautiful (another metaphor). There is a lot going on here and a satisfying resolution brought on by a heaping dose of empathy. Highly recommend for the suggested audience (juvenile fiction, grades 3-7), their teachers, and families with neurodivergence.

Emotionally messy relationships with unreliable narrators
Format: Hardcover
Meg Eden Kuyatt guides us through a beautifully lyrical journey into the life of V, an autistic girl forced to spend the summer with her overbearing grandmother. The story is often more metaphorical than literal, which works well thematically since it revolves around emotionally messy relationships with unreliable narrators, making the details of both the past and present difficult to pin down. Overall, a great read that will be appreciated by both kids and adults looking for mature, nuanced stories about dysfunctional families and the autistic experience.

A New Favorite
Format: Hardcover
This was one of my favorite new MG horror books of the year. The story was beautifully told with a strong emotional arc and eerie touches, as well as excellent ND representation. Can't recommend it enough!
