Englerarum montanum aurea variegata
Englerarum montanum aurea variegata is a golden-variegated form of a compact upright aroid formerly classified as Alocasia gageana. Broad leaves rise on firm petioles from a short base, with lime-yellow, olive and warm-gold markings moving through the green blade as fine marbling, narrow flashes and broader aurea sectors.
Englerarum montanum is native from SW Yunnan to Indo-China, where the species is associated with subtropical habitats and grows as a terrestrial or lithophytic aroid. In cultivation, the aurea form stays manageable in a pot, produces an upright leaf display and can form offsets from the base over time.
Golden variegation on a compact upright aroid
- Leaf colour: Green blades carry lime, yellow and warm-gold markings that can appear as streaks, marbling or broader aurea panels.
- Growth habit: A short base produces upright petioles and may develop offsets, giving the pot more leaf points without a climbing stem.
- Leaf shape: Broad rounded blades create an elephant-ear outline while staying smaller than the giant foliage aroids grown outdoors in tropical climates.
- Texture: The leaves are firm enough to hold their shape, with veins visible through the green and gold patterning.
- Variegation character: The balance of green and yellow can shift between leaves, so new growth may show finer or broader markings.
Indoor growth and substrate needs
The yellow sections contain less green tissue than the rest of the blade, so they mark more quickly after direct sun, dry air, rough handling or root stress. A stable warm position with filtered light keeps the plant steadier than repeated moves into stronger exposure.
The base and roots need air as well as moisture. A loose mix with mineral structure, chunky organic material and moderate moisture retention keeps the root zone open while preventing the plant from drying too hard between waterings.
Care for Englerarum montanum aurea variegata
- Light: Place in bright indirect light or very soft morning sun; avoid direct midday sun on the yellow sectors.
- Watering: Water when roughly the upper 20–30% of the substrate has dried, then let excess water drain fully.
- Substrate: Use an airy aroid mix with mineral structure, bark or coco chunks and enough fine material to hold light moisture.
- Humidity: Aim for humid air around 60–80%, especially while new leaves are unfurling.
- Temperature: Keep warm and stable; move outdoor plants indoors before nights drop below 15 °C.
- Growth: Offsets may appear from the base as the plant matures, gradually increasing the number of shoots in the pot.
Stress signs on yellow-variegated leaves
- Brown yellow areas: Usually linked to harsh light, low humidity, handling marks or stress around the paler tissue.
- Several yellowing leaves: Check substrate moisture, root temperature and drainage if more than one older leaf declines at the same time.
- Soft petioles: Inspect the base and root zone if petioles soften close to the substrate surface.
- Mostly green new growth: Variegation can shift between leaves; repeated plain green growth can be pruned only where a suitable variegated growth point remains.
- Pest marks: Spider mites and thrips can leave fine speckling, scarring or distorted new leaves, especially around fresh growth.
Safety
Englerarum montanum aurea variegata is not pet-safe. Like many aroids, it contains insoluble calcium oxalates that can irritate the mouth, throat and stomach if leaves or stems are chewed.
Etymology and botanical background
The genus name Englerarum honours the botanist Adolf Engler, whose work shaped aroid botany. The species epithet montanum means mountain or mountain-dwelling, while aurea means golden and variegata means variegated.
Warm-gold variegation in a smaller aroid
Englerarum montanum aurea variegata brings gold-marked leaves, upright growth and an offsetting base into a plant suited to bright warm indoor growing. Give it steady moisture, humid air and a breathable mix for cleaner new leaves and stronger root growth.

Very Interesting and Important Book
Format: Hardcover
It took me a long time to read this book, but I highlighted and took notes all over it. It’s absolutely fascinating and well researched and I personally think it should be required reading in seminaries across the nation. Understanding how Christianity as a religion penetrated the fabric of American politics after FDR’s presidency and the New Deal is an important part of understanding American politics in the first place. I also realized what bothered me about this in the first place. Our founding fathers specifically wrote the bill of rights and the constitution to protect freedom of religion and also to keep it out of state affairs. This unfortunately is not what happened throughout the last 60 years. It is clear that prominent Christian figures throughout the decades have infiltrated American politics, some more than others. In my younger years I was oblivious to this and in some instances promoted American Christianity in the political discourse. After many years of intense research and study I understood why that is not healthy for our republican constitutional form of government.
Ever Since president Regan said the famous words “God Bless America” at the end of a speech, the phrase has been shoved down the ears of the American populace over and over again by political leaders to this very day. The playing of the National Anthem synonymous with “God Bless America” phrases and tunes has also in my opinion and observations, contributed to religious nationalistic patriotism. And although I am by no means against loving and appreciating one’s country, I also see the coercive methods of these efforts and am concerned that is creates a blind sense of obedience to the state under a religious umbrella which tarnishes Christianity as a whole. I also acknowledge that having the state influence, dictate and decide what is right for our lives is just as unhealthy and dangerous. If looked at from a practical standpoint, understanding the founding documents of our nation’s founding and establishment is exactly what keeps the healthy political balance alive.
I did have one issue with the authors writing and interpretation which significantly bothered me. The author categorized members such as Billy Graham and James Fifield among other pioneers of the movement as Christian Libertarians. I wholeheartedly disagree with that title. If one studies and understands the core of what Libertarianism is about, it is specifically against forcing or coercing any particular religion regardless of political or social means especially through the state. Libertarians acknowledge the right to believe in a religion or no religion. The fact that Reverend Graham utilized his religious position to influence politics is very much anti-libertarian and a vast majority of libertarians will very likely agree with that position. I suggest the author study libertarianism a bit more and do more research before tainting that label. Despite that hurdle, I still thought this was a very good and important book.

Essential History for Retaining Reason and Rationality for Guiding the Nation
Awesome book on the History of people, themes and big money, corporate used in an attempt to make one religion the National Religion while neutering the First Amendment. It is true to it's title in detailing how Corporations and Religion came together to fight the New Deal of FDR. These two self serving entities fought for control of the people but did almost nothing to avert wide spread hunger and homelessness in the depression. The fortunes of corporations and insistence of religions on controlling the minds of people to produce jobs in their own occupations outweighed the immediate needs of the jobless and homeless. The opulent lifestyles of the big religions and their organizers came first over the health and welfare of the country, just like it had in Medieval Europe, where the Aristocrats and the Christian Churches ran the Continent. These two institutions were responsible for keeping Democracy out of Europe and ultimately creating the Soviet Revolutions in Russia that attempted to spread to the rest of the World. What is clear, from many books on this subject, that "Under God" means being subservient to God, the word of which comes from God's messengers. Subservience Under God means that when the opinions of the People differ from those of God as told through the Messenger, then God wins and the People Shut Up. Those that don't face stiff penalties. Fabulous History that everyone should know if they want to perpetuate a Democracy. The Roman Empire was "One Nation Under God", because the Christian Religion was the only legal Religion and it had only One God - no others were allowed and this was enforced with the sword. Rome will return to America if we are not careful.

Stranded on third base
Format: Hardcover
Prof. Kruse wanders away from the promise of the subtitle of his book--"How corporate America Invented Christian America." He almost gets there when he describes the ideological opposition of the wealthy to F.D.R's "New Deal." and their caricature of the "social gospel" as Communist propaganda. His description of Truman's encounter with Billy Graham is wonderful. For a book published in 2015, Kruse makes only slight mention of the fact that the politics of money and religion in contemporary times becomes more pernicious every day. The main body of the book drifts into redundant detail about "who prayed with who" and the spiritual influence of prominent evangelists on presidents from Eisenhower to Bush with only faint reference to their ties with the Capitalist agenda. He portrays wealthy Christians as true religious zealots when, in fact, they and many of the politicians they supported were likely hypocrites using religion as a wedge issue to increase their power and pursue their agenda of unregulated Capitalism. It is remarkable that Kruse entirely fails to mention the Koch brothers--billionaires who bankroll countless ultra right-wing politicians with evangelical agendas, while they, themselves, are apparently Ayn-Rand-style libertarian atheists interested only in a social-Darwinian, Capitalist heaven. Prof. Kruse leaves us stranded on third base, when he could have hit a home run!

Horrific Voter Suppression
Format: Paperback
This is a very well documented book about voter suppression in America. It was interesting to see that before the Jim Crow era, black people voted, were elected to office, got educations and did fairly well. With Jim Crow, horrific voter suppression began (lynchings, etc.). In the early days it was the Southern Democrats and the KKK. As time went on the methods simply became more devious. In the 1930s FDR began attempting to attract black voters to the party. By the end of WWII we had "Dixiecrats". By the time the time the Civil Rights Act was passed, the transition was complete and those Southern Democrats were now members of the GOP. (Much of that bit of history is not in the book, but you'll want to look it up.) The GOP is now the master of voter suppression, and you can see it pretty much everywhere but especially in Georgia, Texas, Minnesota and many southern states. The book is chock full or examples, case histories and stories of resistance. It made me want to sell my house and give the money to the ACLU, NAACP, and SPLC to defend our most precious right (not privilege) to vote.

This is a MUST read!!
Format: Kindle
This book is a must read! I was just not aware of the extent of the planned, organized, deliberate and insidious actions that the Republican Party has taken to suppress votes from the disenfranchised and the impact that has on our Democracy. I am stricken by the horror of what has been happening now for YEARS and is still going on today!! Carol Anderson has compiled hard data to demonstrate the pervasiveness of the many voter suppression steps that have been taken across many states, primarily in the deep south, but not exclusive to the south. It’s very difficult to take reams of data and put it into a coherent, logical sequence that can be easily understood but she is masterful at making her book eminently readable. This is a very data driven book but I had no trouble getting through it. The conclusion did have some hopeful information relaying steps that some states are taking to increase voter participation which did give me some hope. I am so glad that I read this and I think we all should be informed on this issue as it is central to our state as a country.
