Philodendron 'Green Dragon' – Fast-Growing Hybrid with Distinctive Lobed Foliage
Philodendron 'Green Dragon' is a vigorous hybrid, believed to have Philodendron bipennifolium in its parentage. Its bold, pinnate lobes give the leaves a sculptural appearance, while occasional golden splashes of variegation add extra ornamental value. This fast-growing climber adapts easily to indoor culture and quickly develops into an impressive specimen with proper support.
Key features of 'Green Dragon'
- Leaf form: deeply lobed, pinnate blades with an unusual silhouette.
- Colour: fresh green foliage, sometimes showing golden variegated streaks.
- Growth habit: fast-growing, scandent philodendron with strong climbing ability.
- Display impact: large, architectural leaves that bring a tropical statement indoors.
Background and hybrid origin
While its exact breeding remains uncertain, 'Green Dragon' is widely believed to involve P. bipennifolium, known for its dragon-shaped leaf outline. This hybrid builds on those traits with greater vigour and ornamental variation, making it an attractive choice for collectors who value bold foliage forms.
Care instructions for Philodendron 'Green Dragon'
- Light: thrives in bright, indirect light; occasional golden variegation shows best with steady exposure.
- Temperature: ideal at 20 – 28 °C; growth slows if temperatures fall below 16 °C.
- Humidity: prefers 60 – 80%, though it tolerates average indoor levels.
- Watering: water when the top 2 – 3 cm of substrate are dry; avoid letting roots sit in water.
- Substrate: chunky, well-draining aroid mix with bark, perlite, and coco coir.
- Feeding: regular, diluted fertilisation during the growing season supports rapid growth.
- Support: benefits from a moss pole or trellis to climb and produce larger leaves.
Common grower challenges
- Small leaves: usually from lack of climbing support; provide a pole for larger blades.
- Variegation fading: insufficient light can reduce golden streaks; increase filtered brightness.
- Yellowing foliage: often caused by excess watering or poorly drained substrate.
- Pests: watch for thrips or mites, especially on tender new leaves.
Collector’s notes
- Comparison: shares traits with P. bipennifolium but grows faster and can develop variegation.
- Impact: lobed leaves give a tropical, dragon-like aesthetic rare among hybrids.
- Rarity: not widely distributed, making it a standout in curated collections.
- Toxicity: philodendrons contain calcium oxalate; keep away from pets and children.
Etymology
Genus:Philodendron (Schott, 1830), from Greek philo- “loving” + dendron “tree,” referencing its natural climbing behaviour.Cultivar name: ‘Green Dragon’ refers to its bold, lobed foliage reminiscent of a dragon’s outline.
Propagation and growth
- Propagation: stem cuttings with at least one node root reliably in warm, humid setups.
- Medium: sphagnum moss or fine bark/perlite blends ensure quick root establishment.
- Indoor size: fast climber reaching 1 – 2 m indoors with support; leaves expand with maturity.
Why Philodendron 'Green Dragon' deserves a spot in your collection
With its dragon-like lobed leaves, fast growth, and occasional golden variegation, Philodendron 'Green Dragon' is a bold and rewarding hybrid for collectors who appreciate unusual foliage forms.

Compelling!
Format: Paperback
I loved this book. It is a personal, honest, beautiful account of walking the Camino, and I didn’t want it to end. The actual reality of walking the Camino is aptly portrayed in this open-hearted story. Angela’s unique turn of phrase, her outrageous humor, her vulnerability, the unrelenting pain, and the lessons learned are beautifully expressed, and are a testament to her endurance and to her Love. Angela has the true heart of a pilgrim, showing us that seeing with eyes of Love is all that matters. Bronwen Diana

Enjoyable and Uplifting
Format: Kindle
After reading this book, it came to me that this is different and maybe far more uplifting than the prior books I’ve read. It should have been my first book to read but alas, I’ve been reading about the Camino for over a decade. I enjoyed Angel’s perspective on the Camino but also how it affected her life.
If you’ve ever considered the Camino, read this one before you go, and then GO!

A Vicarious Adventure
Format: Kindle
I’ve read numerous books about the Camino, and most have been excellent, as was this one. The author captured the emotions during interactions with fellow pilgrims insightfully. Ranging from petty squabbles to jealousy to shared misery to elation—you were part of the experience. Easy to read, hard to put down, entertaining.

A Very Enjoyable Camino Pilgrimage

A detailed 40 day journal format of one pilgrims experience upon the Camino Frances. She revisits the various personalities she encountered along the way and discribes the tough terrain and weather challenges which in turn push her to the limits of her physical abilities. In the end, she perseveres and eventually finds a change in the hardness of her heart ...the Camino is known to do this.
Great book and I enjoyed it thoroughly...I purchased both the text and audio versions to read along. I highly recommend it for any potential pilgrims or for anyone seeking to enjoy a 800km hike in Northern Spain. Thanks for bringing me along!

Well Presented Concepts and Implementations (5th ed.)
Format: Paperback
Foreword: I have been running my own DNS servers on OpenBSD and FreeBSD for about 4 years. All of my previous DNS knowledge was obtained from the man pages and online tutorials.
The book is great because the example network used throughout the book is built upon, showing you how to "grow" your DNS with your expanding network. The design and implementation presented is priceless and covers some of my favorite topics: placement of slaves, hidden primaries, building root servers, split views, daisy-chaining, forwarders, partial-slaves, address maintenance issues, etc. The pros and cons of each setup are weighed and best practices are suggested. If you like a generous helping of diagrams, examples, and tables as a learning aid, you won't be disappointed.
One specific example of weighing the pros and the cons is presented on page 479 as follows:
"Could we have saved a few bucks on hardware by using our external authoritative nameservers as forwarders, too? Sure, but that would have presented a risk." After that statement, they proceed into all the details of "why."
There is adequate coverage on security. The authors preach defense in depth. An implementation example includes hiding your masters and only exposing bastion slaves. Securing communications between the masters and slaves is also covered in the security chapter using DNSSEC and TSIG. I think IPSec is another way to add a security layer, but that is probably another book.
After reading the book, I started to implement my new DNS infrastructure and found myself referring to the index often. It is fairly consummate, however, I found a few things missing, such as the $GENERATE statement. Also, some of the configuration details were lacking slightly. For example, the order in which ACL elements are processed and how negated elements affect the processing outcome. Another question I had was, what would happen if an ACL name is negated, and what if that ACL contained some negated elements. Well I found my answer by actually trying it and verifying with the canonical reference docs on isc.org.
I gave this book five stars because of its effectiveness in presenting the concepts and implementations of DNS using examples, good writing style, tables, and diagrams. If you're looking for the last 4 percent of the diminutive details of DNS, you will find it on isc.org.
