Philodendron Rojo Congo is native to South America, specifically regions in Brazil and neighboring countries. Its natural habitat is the rainforests, where it thrives in the warm and humid climate. This philodendron typically grows upright with a bushy habit, making it a fantastic choice for enhancing interior decor or filling a corner that needs a dramatic touch.
Rojo Congo's most notable feature is its deep, velvety, burgundy-red leaves. These large, heart-shaped leaves have a glossy sheen, adding a touch of luxury to any space. The contrast between the red foliage and the plant's green stems creates an exquisite visual display.
As with many Philodendrons, the Rojo Congo contributes to improved indoor air quality by helping to remove common pollutants and toxins, making your home a healthier place to live. It's also considered relatively easy to care for, making it a good choice for both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts.
Philodendron Rojo Congo is not primarily grown for its flowers, and it is relatively rare for it to produce blooms when cultivated as a houseplant. However, when it does flower, the blooms are typically inconspicuous and pale in color.

Rojo Congo prefers bright, indirect sunlight, but it also tolerates medium light conditions.It needs at least a few hours of light daily. Avoid harsh direct sun to prevent scorching leaves.
This plant prefers slightly moist but not waterlogged soil. Water thoroughly and drain well after each watering. Check the soil twice per week and only water when the top 1" of the soil is dry to the touch.
Rojo Congo likes rich soil that can retain some moisture, but the soil should also drain well to prevent root rot. It is recommended that you mix some peat with general houseplant soil to improve drainage.
This plant grows best in normal room temperatures (between 65°F-80°F). It does not grow well in temperatures below 50°F and over 90°F. Red Congo thrives in normal indoor humidity, and it is recommended that you mist your plant and use a humidifier when the environment is too dry (humidity level falls below 50%).
This plant should be fertilized once during the growing season (spring/summer) with diluted houseplant fertilizer.
Rojo Congo plant is toxic if ingested, so keep it out of reach of pets and children.

Timely and insightful
Format: Hardcover
As Clay Risen thoughtfully makes clear, the Red Scare of this era had roots in earlier decades, and its effects continue to be felt today. The parallels between those years, which included the HUAC and the Hollywood blacklist, and today provide an important examination of 20th century American history.
As he writes in the Preface, "Self-described patriotic organizations proliferated, intent on ridding their communities of Communism; one, the Minute Women, had some four hundred chapters nationwide. Parent-teacher organizations, school boards, civic clubs, and Boy Scout troops all came under scrutiny. Hundreds of books were purged from public and school libraries." Reading about the people and stories of that time, you will recognize them again today.
I also very much enjoyed his description of how the idea for this book first came to him--as moments from childhood memories which inspired years of research and analysis, and finally this engaging, thoughtful book!

A well-lively account of a recent and unsavory period of American history, roughly 1946-1955.
Format: Hardcover
Red Scare is a well researched and a very readable account of a significant moment in post-World War II American politics. The author situates the rise of the Red Scare in a right-wing reaction to the New Deal, the labor unions, and any forward progress towards civil rights for black and other non-white Americans. The Red Scare gathers force in the Republican Party following a long frustrating period in which the Democratic Party coalition led by FDR remained in power and reshaped the federal government to counter the Great Depression and then mobilize the nation for total war on multiple fronts in Europe and the Pacific.
At the beginning of the Cold War, politicians like the young ambitious Richard Nixon find Red-baiting the Democratic Party opposition leads to electoral success in post-war Congressional races. The Republican Party secures a majority in the Senate and the House following the midterm election of 1950.
Risen shows a reactionary movement gathering momentum from the Cold War geopolitics that shattered expectations for the peace and security that Americans had hoped for when the war ended in victory. In the wake of the defeat of the Axis powers, Americans felt threatened by the spread of Communist-backed and Communist-inspired regimes, first in Eastern Europe and then in China, then the Korean peninsula. Although the US and Russia were ideologically distinct, they cooperated during the War to defeat their common enemy, namely Hitler and Nazi Germany. But the conclusion of the war brought a decisive end to that cooperation. Instead, there was a series of confrontations in Greece, a divided Germany, and the Eastern European bloc of nations that the Red Army occupied and kept tightly controlled.
Roosevelt’s coalition had embraced progressive and socialist proposals like Social Security and the Wagner Act that protected workers’s right to organize and collective bargaining. The Red Scare marked the beginning of a reactionary response to roll back those policies. Meanwhile, the elaborate security apparatus of the Federal government that was empowered during World War II was re-directed against left-wing groups that FBI Director Hoover targeted as “unAmerican.” There was also justifiable alarm that people like Klaus Fuchs spied for the Soviets and passed them much of the secret sauce in the technology developed at considerable expense around the atomic bomb.
Risen’s book plays all the hits from that ignominious period: the House Committee on UnAmerican Activities (HUAC), the Hollywood 10, the Alger Hiss affair, the China Lobby, the Smith Act prosecutions against the American Communist Party leaders, the trial and execution of the Rosenbergs, loyalty oaths and blacklists, the persecution of J. Robert Oppenheimer. They are all here. The book chronicles the rise and fall of Senator Joseph McCarthy, and the colorful personalities around his political career including the attorney Joseph Welch that the Army hired to confront him, the TV personality Edward R. Murrow, and his ruthless and feckless henchman Roy Cohn. He sees McCarthy more as a symptom than a cause.
Risen shows how Eisenhower, elected President in 1952 on the Republican ticket, co-opted and ultimately blunted the anti-Communist crusade in favor of a less confrontational, more moderate approach. Eisenhower also had a visceral reaction to personal attacks carried out on the integrity of George Marshall for “losing China,” having served under Marshall during the height of his military career. The book also highlights the Supreme Court’s decisive change of heart, under newly appointed Chief Justice Earl Warren, that reasserted 1st Amendment and 4th Amendment rights against guilty by association prosecutions.
In many places of the book, the author empathizes the many continuities between the rabid anti-Communist rhetoric and tactics of the early 50s with the right wing politics of the present day, particularly in the area of Public Education.

The American Legion
Format: Hardcover
This is a great book, well researched and excellently written. It is a follow up to the Broadway show I attended, "Good Night and Good Luck." A most excellent show and also filmed by CNN. What is most disturbing about the book, as an American Legionnaire, is how far right and violent the American Legion was during this period.

Well Written and Readable. Highly Recommend
Format: Kindle
I am working on my longest “Days In A Row” reading streak. Finished my last book early with nothing setup to read. Couldn’t find anything that interested me. The 1950’s Red Scare is mentioned often and I only had a high level, general knowledge of that period in history. AND… the Kindle book was on sale for $2. Thought it was worth a shot? The book immediately shot to the top of both my “Best Books” and “Most Informative Books” lists. Highly researched, well organized, incredibly well written and most importantly, readable. If you like history, this is an excellent book on the late 40’s and 50’s. Highly recommend.
