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.

Sadly, DNF
Format: Kindle
I read this thru KU. I LOVED the synopsis. And then I began reading... and it was a DNF at 68% after picking it up and putting it down several times because I really loved the main female character.
*****SPOILERS*****
Pros:
The world is unique, intriguing and fun. The primary female character is bad-a** but not a b*tech or a mary sue. The primary female has depth. I really want to know what happens to her even tho it's been weeks and I don't remember her name. The villains to the point I read are pretty good -- an ever present threat of mysterious and possibly many culprits.
Cons:
Way, way too many points of view. I stopped counting at 7. It's the prime reason why I don't care about most of the characters or remember their names even when I like them. There's just too many points of view so almost none of the characters have enough book space for the author to properly develop them. This literally killed the book for me. Actually it killed my desire to read. For weeks.
The main male is more villain than hero. He agreed to marry the main female then locks her up & eschews her for her sister, all while bad mouthing her as unfit to rule when he never spent any time with her getting to know her. He is actually unfit to rule as he is blind to the woes of his own kingdom and starts off a peace mission to secure a ceasefire through marriage by murdering an inn full of people in her country for no real reason. Plus, he constantly makes promises he does not keep. And it's gross of him to pine for the sister behind the main female's back.
*****
As much as I really wanted to see what happened to the main female character, it wasn't enough for me to keep trying to slog thru this book. There was a lot of potential here that just fell short.
Hence, 3 stars.

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love.
I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.
