Philodendron luxurians Croat, D.P. Hannon and R. Kaufmann – rare velvet-leaf aroid with silver veining
Philodendron luxurians is a compact velvet Philodendron from the lower montane rainforests of Chocó (Colombia) and Esmeraldas (Ecuador), described in 2010 in Aroideana. This terrestrial to semi-scandent species is treasured by collectors for its thick, soft-surfaced foliage in deep emerald, marked by prominent silver-white primary veins. In nature it often grows on shaded, mossy slopes with consistent moisture, transitioning from a creeping juvenile stage to semi-climbing maturity when given vertical support.
What makes Philodendron luxurians unique
- Plush leaf texture: Thick, velvety lamina with shimmering silver venation and subtle bullation from raised secondary veins.
- Manageable habit: Typically 60 – 90 cm tall indoors; mature leaves can reach 30 cm wide without dominating small spaces.
- Growth shift: Creeping juvenile form produces broader, more architectural leaves when semi-climbing on fine-fibre supports.
From Chocó’s cloud-forest edge to your indoor collection
- Origin: Chocó (Colombia) and Esmeraldas (Ecuador)
- Elevation: 400 – 1000 m in lower montane rainforest
- Habitat: Shaded slopes and mossy understories with year-round humidity, often near tree ferns and understorey palms.
- Inflorescence: Pale green to white spathe with a green spadix; rarely produced indoors, of botanical interest only.
- Toxicity: Contains insoluble calcium oxalate; harmful if ingested.
Care guide – keeping Philodendron luxurians thriving
- Light: Bright, filtered light for full leaf expansion and strong colour; avoid harsh direct sun.
- Water: Keep substrate evenly moist; allow the top 2 – 3 cm to dry between waterings.
- Humidity: ≥70% maintains leaf turgor and prevents edge crisping; stable humidity is key for velvet quality.
- Temperature: Optimal 20 – 28 °C; avoid rapid fluctuations and cold drafts.
- Substrate: Airy aroid mix (~35% fine orchid bark, 25% sphagnum moss, 20% perlite, 10% compost, 10% horticultural charcoal) for moisture retention and drainage.
- Feeding: Balanced liquid fertiliser at 25 – 50% label rate every 4 – 6 weeks in active growth; adjust to growth pace, not calendar months.
- Support: Fine-textured moss pole or tree fern fibre slab encourages vertical growth, shorter internodes, and larger leaves.
Leaf development and support
Juvenile leaves are smaller, softer, and less prominently veined. As the plant matures and climbs, blades broaden, secondary venation becomes more defined, and the velvety surface develops a richer depth. Appressed contact with a damp, textured support improves water flow and leaf size.
Propagation and growth notes
- Propagation: Stem cuttings rooted in moist sphagnum moss or water before moving into substrate.
- Semi-hydroponics: Adaptable with gradual transition; stable high humidity is essential.
- Pruning: Remove senescent or damaged leaves to maintain airflow and encourage fresh growth.
Common issues and solutions
- Leaf browning: Low humidity or erratic watering; increase humidity and stabilise care routine.
- Slow growth: Improve light intensity (still filtered) and maintain regular feeding.
- Pests: Watch for thrips, spider mites, and mealybugs; treat promptly with targeted controls.
Safety
Contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals; avoid ingestion and contact with eyes or mouth. Keep out of reach of children and pets.

Septuagint LXX Codex Alexandrinus finally in English!
Format: Hardcover
This is the overall accurate and most complete collection of books of the original covenant scriptures, (the Old Testament.) For the average English reader who doesnt know or care much to learn the spiritual gems of the bible through the languages of modern Hebrew and Ancient pictoral Hebrew, this will be your best version of the O. T. to have by far! Its all in English, translated out of the LXX, Codex Alexandrinus, which is the most ancient and most accurate septuagint text available so far, despite what modern scholars and pastors are wrongly telling you. Why the hell does every church have colies of the NIV Nearly Inspired version, for everyone to use, when they could buy this along with the Greek- English Interlinear N.T with NKJV along the side as well!?? Many scholars will say that the LXX V or Codex Vaticanus is dated earlier and is therfore more accurate but that is not completely true. It is still another great version to use also, as found in Brentons English version and the amazing Apostolic Bible Polyglot but it is still a translation made later in time from out of the Masoretic Hebrew Text. But this NETS version of the septuagint is from the original source Greek O.T. which was made originally around 250 B.C and was made out of Ezras authentic and most accurate Hebrew copy of the Tanakh or O.T., given to him directly by God again, when he was in Babylon. (See 4 Esdras 14 in the Good News Bible with deuterocanonicals/Apochrypha! $8 FROM AMAZON, of which I also did a brief review of a while ago!)You will get the most out of this version of the O.T set of scriptures. But don't forget to also get the other missing scriptures and restore many other lost and forgotten books, and verses of scripture like 4th Esdras, 1st and 2nd Adam and Eve, Jasher and 1st and 2nd Enoch, and the testament of the twelve patriarchs! Plus you will need a separate Set of the Renewed Covent scriptures or (the N.T.) because this bound package of scriptures does still not contain the whole counsel of God. There is no New testament in here in case you were wondering. But this version is still the closest to having the most of Gods words, than any other English O.T version in one bound package, that I have found and this is more accurate in more places than not. But there are a few errors still from the Greek, which get carried over into English, like Genesis 4:26 of which the Aramaic versions, and Hebrew Masoretic text and Jasher have, when the letters are respaced correctly. This verse should tell us that Enosh profaned the name of God, not worshiped or called upon or hoped to call upon God. Some of the Greek text's flaws in which the Hebrew M.T. is superior are: Zechariah 5:1- 2, 12:10 and Genesis 1:1 (of which the Aleph and Tav is present and is unjustly left out and equals The Messiah/God, as in Revelation 1:8!) And psalm 138:2 to name a few. But over all without other deeper study, the Greek O.T. text has more to offer as a whole than the Hebrew version left preserved for us. And there is no finished English translation and bound book yet, of the Aramaic Targumim O.T. TIthat will be the next masterpiece, when someone gets it done. It is still being worked on. See Andrew Gabriel Roth's Aramaic Eastern Peshitta N.T. as well as David Bausher's western peshitta N. T. Interlinear pr plain English. Hopefully one of these guys or both will do the correct smd more co ete Aramaic Targumim for the O. T. and not he later made syriac translation but we will ha e ro wait and see.?
Also, some verses in which the LXX is superior over the late made Hebrew M.T. are found in verses like Genesis 11:13- 14, which are missing completely from the Hebrew!!! See Luke 3:36 to verify Kainan or Caianan's existence in the genealogical bible lineage of the Patriarchs! Cainan's existence also makrs creation 565 years earlier then 4004 bc that bishop Ussher wrongly dated from the Hebrew Masoretic Text. And see Ezekiel 21:3- which shows God only killing the unrighteous in the two LXX versions and never the righteous with the wicked, like Abraham pleaded with God in Genesis 18:23. Sadly the late Masoretic Hebrew Text erroneously has God killing both the righteous with the unrighteous! Also see DANIEL 12:4 in this LXX, which has a superior English translation, even though the same better meaning is hidden in the Hebrew. This verse should say the knowledge of evil and cunning to harm us, will increase, not the knowledge of the gospel or technology increasing, like many commentators have said.. Also DANIEL 12:4 should be translated as saying that many people will run away in apostasy and violent madness, not just running to and fro!?? Any serious students can contact me at AnswersInGenesis at live dot com. Every disciplined learned who wishes to mature, needs a copy of this and should read this as their main version of the Tanakh or O.T. I will also be happy to further translate and teach this along with the Hebrew Masoretic Text and both Aramaic Targumim to serious literal minded people, as I am already doing chronologically, through the whole bible, in my own bible study in Tucson on Shabbat (friday) evenings. Enjoy!😊

A very well made book
Format: Hardcover
Just anecdotally, I've found that often when the NETS diverges from the Masoretic text it aligns with the Douay translation of the Vulgate. For example, LXX Psalm 42,4 in the NETS renders it:
"to God who makes glad my youth"
Douay has:
"to God who giveth joy to my youth"
Whereas JPS Tanakh has:
"unto God, my exceeding joy."
The Douay has the Latin book names so none of the frankly weird faux Greek spellings. And the Douay is more poetic. Brenton is more poetic for that matter.
The point is if you're looking at buying the NETS just know that Brenton and Douay did it hundreds of years ago only better (IMHO) and those books are public domain.
Do buy this book if you 1. can't be bothered to learn Greek and 2. prefer a mutilated NRSV over a little legwork learning how the LXX differs from the Masoretic text.
On the other hand, it's sewn bound, compact, sleek and convenient. It opens flat and has a pleasing font. It's nice to consult when Liddell & Scott fail.

A careful, scholarly work
Format: Hardcover
The introduction to this book does a great job of laying out the challenges of translating an ancient translation. It is not, however, aimed at people without a significant background in Hebrew, Greek and translation theory.
I give credit to the authors of the introduction, Albert Pietersma and Benjamin G. Wright, for specifying the nature of the translation and its audience. Taken from Nida and Taber, _The Theory and Practice of Translation_ (Leiden: Brill, 1982), p. 31: "a translation in the present-day literary language, so as to communicate to the well-educated constituency." The translators chose this group "on the assumption that it is most probably this audience that has a more than passing interest in traditions of biblical literature other than their own" (p. xiv). I think they are right about this.
"Translating an ancient text can only be described as a profoundly difficult undertaking....
"The difficulties of the undertaking are certainly not decreased when one attempts to translate an ancient translation into a modern language. If translating is an act of interpreting, as linguists suggest it is, rather than a simple transfer of meaning, a Greek interpretation of a Hebrew original can be expected to reflect what the translator understood the Hebrew text to mean. The end result is therefore inevitably to some degree a commentary written at a specific historical time and place by an individual person, whose understanding of the Hebrew will often have been at variance with our own, though at times perhaps equally viable." (p. xvi)
Indeed, back when I was a linguist- and translator-in-training at the Summer Institute of Linguistics (early 1980s), I was taught the rather simplistic model of translation as a mere transfer of meaning. Experience, though, has taught me that this is virtually impossible. A text of any level of sophistication above that of a stop sign is full of cultural assumptions, lexical polysemy, syntactic ambiguity, and so forth. Any translation is perforce an interpretation. The only way to even begin to compensate for this, if the readers of the translations are not scholars trained in the relevant fields, is to include a massive set of footnotes. The average reader is just not going to take the time to read such a set of notes, even if they are included. The majority of traditional religious readers of a Bible translation are not prepared to deal with the challenges that such footnotes would present to their existing understanding of the text.
The New English Translation of the Septuagint is aimed at those who already have at least some of the relevant scholarly background and are not averse to acquiring more.
