Dramatic White Variegation
Philodendron White Measure is a compact, upright hybrid renowned for its dramatic variegation. Mature leaves are ovate to heart-shaped, cloaked in contrasting pinstripes of pure white to neon yellow against a deep green backdrop. On rare occasions, broad blotches of variegation appear, creating a striking, painterly effect.
Botanical Profile
- Growth Habit: Self-supporting, bushy perennial reaching 1–3 ft tall indoors
- Leaf Morphology: Thick, glossy leaves with stable variegation; new foliage emerges with pinstripe patterns that intensify with maturity.
- Toxicity: All parts are toxic if ingested; typical of Araceae, handle with care and keep out of reach of pets and children.
Care Requirements
- Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal to maintain crisp variegation; tolerates medium light but may revert or fade in low-light conditions. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the white margins
- Water: Water when the top 1 in of soil dries; ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot. Do not allow the plant to sit in water.
- Humidity & Temperature: Prefers 50–70% humidity and temperatures between 65–80 °F. In drier homes, occasional misting or a pebble tray helps maintain leaf vibrancy.
- Soil & Fertilizer: A well-draining aroid mix (peat–bark–perlite) supports healthy root growth. Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced, diluted houseplant fertilizer.

Display & Styling Tips
- Versatility: Its upright, self-supporting form makes it ideal for desks, shelves, or as a tabletop centerpiece. For a more architectural look, train it on a moss pole.
- Design Accent: The graphic variegation complements minimalist interiors and modern botanica-themed spaces. Pair with dark pots to accentuate the white pinstripes.
- Propagation: Easily propagated via stem cuttings in water or soil at visible leaf nodes.
Why Choose Philodendron White Measure?

From the creator of the Godot Recipes site!
Format: Paperback
Absolutely loved this, takes you through building 5 different games from start to finish, and explains not only how to do things, but it also explains the why! Throughout the course of making these 5 games, you also get introduced to many of the Nodes within Godot, explanations on how they are used, and gives you some experience using them! Feels good to add more tools into your toolkit as you become more familiar and comfortable using more Nodes.
Even though this book is not intended for beginners, I would still recommend this book. It comes with a link where you can download example files and get going with minimal effort, however to get the most out of the book I would try to recreate stuff yourself.
I found it very useful for easing myself into trying out 3D development. I've been doing 2D for years, and am currently developing a 2D game in Godot, once I complete that I'll be diving headfirst into 3D and this book gave me a lot of insight, and I feel much better about the whole process.

would have been better as a blog
Format: Paperback
First off, I have read over half of this book, but ultimately decided to put it down because it had a low signal-to-noise ratio. If the second half is filled with magic, I apologize in advance.
What I liked:
* The author is very honest. He does not shy away from discussing his failures (and successes).
* The postmortem on the game "Life of Pixel" was especially good.
* Interviews from various indie studios are sprinkled throughout.
What I did not like:
* A number of pieces of information were already out-of-date. This makes me think that the concepts should have been discussed at a higher level. For example, specifics about game engine costs are discussed. These numbers have changed since E3 of this year. Definitely recheck any information before formulating a plan based on the book's recommendations.
* The indie studio interviews are a wasted opportunity in that they each interview has the same set of questions. It's like a questionnaire was sent out via email and the responses were pasted into the book.
* When discussing commercial options, such as engines or other software packages, blurbs once again appear to be cut-and-pasted (this time verbatim from the package's web site).
* Some of the advice is too broad and too light. For example, when writing about how to create a press release, the author discuss how to write in the active voice. I'm frankly not looking for writing tips in my Indie Game Developer Handbook.
* The book is filled with tons of web links. My paperback copy was not so useful here.
I ultimately left the book with the impression that the information would have been much better in the form of a blog. The author could have really gone in depth with the parts of the book that shined while keeping the surveys of topics in a form that serves them better (i.e. web links on the web).

Helpful information and Questions to consider
Format: Paperback
As a writer of science fiction and fantasy I had already looked into the physical aspects of the worlds I was creating, but I quickly realized I needed to include society and culture in the worldbuilding. I started a search for information, questionairres, or guidelines to use and found very little that would be helpful to me as a writer. Until I came across this book. It's exactly what I needed. It touches on multiple aspects of beliefs and practices and asks questions to help you think through what you want for your worlds, even if it's mostly backgroud. A very useful tool.
