Philodendron 'Florida Beauty' ('Magic Mask')
Philodendron 'Florida Beauty' is a variegated climbing Philodendron from the Florida hybrid group. It produces deeply lobed green leaves splashed with cream, yellow and pale green, with the pattern shifting from leaf to leaf along the stem.
The plant extends from a node-bearing climbing stem. Support helps keep the internodes shorter, gives aerial roots a surface to grip and allows the lobed leaves to open with enough space around the petioles.
Lobed variegation on a climbing Florida Philodendron
- Foliage: Deeply divided green leaves with irregular cream, yellow and pale green variegation.
- Growth habit: Climbing vine with aerial roots along the nodes.
- Hybrid group: Part of the Florida Philodendron group, with deeply lobed foliage, climbing growth and textured petioles.
- Stem detail: Petioles and stems may show reddish tones or lightly textured surfaces.
- Patterning: Variegation follows the stem tissue, so pattern strength can differ strongly from leaf to leaf.
Patterned stems and Florida group growth
The Florida Philodendron group traces back to Robert “Bob” McColley’s mid-20th-century breeding work in Florida, with the original hybrid usually attributed to Philodendron squamiferum × Philodendron pedatum. Philodendron pedatum (Hook.) Kunth was published in Enumeratio Plantarum 3:49 in 1841, while Philodendron squamiferum Poepp. was published in Nova Genera ac Species Plantarum 3:87 in 1845.
Philodendron 'Florida Beauty' is the variegated form grown in this group, with lobed leaves, patterned stem tissue and climbing stems that produce better-sized leaves on support. Bright indirect light helps the plant keep shorter internodes and larger leaves, while direct sun can scorch the pale sectors. Fully green stems can be cut back to a patterned node to keep variegated growth active.
Bright indirect light, support and pruning cues
- Light: Provide bright indirect light, around 10,000–20,000 lux, with direct midday sun filtered away from pale leaf sectors.
- Watering: Water when the upper 30–50% of the substrate has dried; keep the root zone evenly rehydrated, then well drained.
- Substrate: Use a chunky aroid mix with bark, coco chips, perlite or pumice and a small moisture-retentive component.
- Pot choice: Use a pot with drainage holes and enough depth or weight to keep the climbing stem and support stable.
- Repotting: Repot when roots fill the pot, the support becomes unstable or the substrate starts breaking down. Move up gradually to keep the root zone airy.
- Humidity: Keep 50–70% humidity for smoother leaf expansion and stronger aerial-root activity.
- Temperature: Maintain 18–29°C and protect the plant from cold draughts or cold windows.
- Support: Add a pole or trellis early so the climbing stem stays better aligned and leaves can become larger and more divided over time.
- Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth; avoid strong fertiliser doses that can stress pale leaf tissue and roots.
- Growth rate: Expect moderate climbing growth once the plant is rooted, warm and supported. Leaf size and division improve gradually on a stable stem.
- Placement: Place it where the lobed leaves have room to open without pressing against glass, walls, shelves or neighbouring plants.
- Semi-hydroponics: This Philodendron can adapt to mineral or semi-hydro substrates if roots are transitioned gradually and the reservoir is kept clean.
- Pruning: Cut fully green growth back to a node that has visible variegation in the stem.
- Propagation: Propagate from stem cuttings with at least one node. Choose patterned stem sections if you want to continue variegated growth.
Leaf marks, green shoots and pest checks
- Brown marks on pale sectors: Check for direct sun, dry roots or physical damage; cream and yellow tissue marks more easily than green tissue.
- Fully green new growth: Trace the stem back to a variegated node and prune if the plant is reverting.
- Very small leaves: Add support, improve light and check whether the roots are active and filling the pot.
- Yellowing leaves: Check watering depth, drainage and root temperature before changing fertiliser.
- Sticky residue or distorted growth: Inspect leaf undersides, petiole bases, cataphylls and new growth for thrips, mites, scale and mealybugs.
Handling and toxicity
Philodendron 'Florida Beauty' is toxic if ingested. Like other Philodendron plants, it contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth and throat. Keep it away from pets and children, especially when pruning or removing cuttings.
Florida Beauty, Magic Mask and the genus name
Philodendron is an Araceae genus named from Greek roots meaning “tree-loving”. 'Florida Beauty' refers to the variegated foliage of this Florida hybrid, while 'Magic Mask' is also used for this plant in cultivation.
Deeply lobed Florida hybrid foliage, cream-yellow marbling and patterned climbing stems give Philodendron 'Florida Beauty' its variegated climbing character.

A welcome addition to training in hemodynamics
Format: Paperback
Purchased this book for my husband, the director of the Invasive Cardiovascular Technologist Program at a small college. He has been very pleased with the book, calling it a long-overdue addition to the field. It's very helpful in training technologists and others working in Cardiac Cath Labs to recognize hemodynamic waveforms and do calculations. It offers a lot of practice questions in addition to explanations.

Clear Concise
Format: Paperback
I like the way that this book is laid out. Rather than long drawn out droning chapters it is split into shorter more specific sections. The graphics are plenty big. The case examples and guided questions are useful in reinforcing the knowledge. A good resource for any new CVT or CVT student.

transformative
Format: Hardcover
In what presents itself as a sequel to his previous HarperOne Publications (
and
), N. T. Wright's newest release challenges theoretical Christianity with the ongoing work of the kingdom, most notably through the oft-debated areas of character and virtue. His own words work best to summarize the book: "Christian life in the present, with its responsibilities and particular callings, is to be understood and shaped in relation to the final goal for which we have been made and redeemed" (ix). That is to say, our lives must reflect the faith to which we cling.
But, of course, many Christians are able to live out the goal of their faith; it is a challenge to make certain that our faith is properly aligned and set to the right goal. And that is why this book makes an appropriate trilogy with the previous two, that understanding how Christian faith is about the restoration and rejoining of heaven and earth, and how our lives are meant to reflect that in this present inaugurated eschatology.
This book then is about the transformation and dedication of human character as the right response to resurrection. It is about the restored humanity which is now possible, though not without its stumbling and searching, as part of the dawning of God's new day. The opening chapter gives a few examples of admirable behavior, where those who were able to instinctively react heroically in certain situations did so because they had lived in certain ways for years before. In like manner, Wright asserts that Christian character is learned and built (and trained) on a daily basis. What am I here for? Transformation! Not just in our own lives, but as agents of God's Spirit to transform the world.
Throughout the book Wright continually points to various character traits which are often regarded as worthwhile and challenges the reader to think of them as transformative for the kingdom. "We've had enough of pragmatists and self-seeking risk-takers. We need people of character" (25). Thus, he believes that character is transformed by three things in particular: 1) aiming at the right goal; 2) figuring the steps to reach that goal; 3) allowing those steps to become habitual (29). He spends a good amount in the second chapter interacting with Aristotle, which may be lost on some people but helps establish his foundation nonetheless.
Perhaps one of the most interesting chapters in the book is the third, "Priests and Rulers." It is here that Wright asserts that transformation must include a return to the imago Dei which was set within humanity at Creation. Our proper role in the world is thus "worshipping and reigning" - we are priests and rulers(78-79). He builds this concept on solid biblical footing, and begins to build his perspective on character from here. If this is true, then it is the community of believers which is given over to the twin tasks of holiness and prayer (91).
From here, the book follows with the implications of being that sort of community. We are to be a people prepared and presently working for the kingdom (he brings in the beatitudes at this point). Wright also asserts that Christian character is not about rules. Rather, it is about freedom to become what we are intended to be, with the parameters of Scripture given as guides along the journey. We are to be transformed by priestly worship, living and working as people of the kingdom on a moment-by-moment basis (cf. 149). This transformation comes through the renewal of our minds, as our thoughts direct us to a new way of living.
The latter chapters acknowledge the difficulty of living in such a way, with Wright asserting that this Spirit-enabled life being possible for us to have in this life. ". . . 'Left to myself, doing what comes naturally, I would fail.' But the point of love is that it doesn't" (183). Love, which Paul repeatedly asserts is the greatest virtue, is the ultimate goal of the believer. Not for self, not even for others . . . but for God alone. If all of our character and virtue are directed to him, then true kingdom work and ministry will happen. Wright includes this as well, "Worship must lead to mission" (225).
One could reflect on so much Christian thought at this point. At times Wright's model for character sounds like Brother Lawrence, John Wesley, C. S. Lewis, and many Jesus-Creeders throughout the centuries, among others. It is clear that this is a book written from a lifelong reflection on Christian virtue. While there are a few areas of the book that I could present minor quibbles, I now decide not to do so because the present need for Christian character is so high in our culture that I do not want to give any discouragement for approaching this book - and they are quite minor quibbles indeed. My review and summary is brief and wholly inadequate in capturing the overall journey which is presented in this book. I greatly encourage all Christians to work through this trilogy of faith and action . . . worship and reign.

Between Legalism and Lawlessness: A Foundation for Understanding Virtue and Holiness
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
What happens after you believe?
Since the beginning, there have been two, great, warring factions within Christendom seeking to answer that question.
One demands obedience to a list of rules: legalism.
The other claims that grace makes all rule-following null and void: lawlessness.
And then there is a middle road: the via media.
This isn't the easiest path to take. It's effortless to simply run off into the ditch of legalism or lawlessness.
It would be easier for me to hand out a list of rules when someone comes to faith in Christ: "Do pray, do read your Bibles, do come to church when the doors are open. Don't drink, don't smoke, don't chew. And don't date folks who do. Follow these rules and you'll be A-Okay!"
Or, it would be just as easy to tell those who come to faith: "You're saved and nothing will change that. Even if you completely quit believing in God or become a mass murderer - don't worry. It's all under the blood."
It's easier to maintain the extremes. That's why they're so popular. Unfortunately, neither of the extremes are true - or biblical.
So what is?
N.T. Wright paints a picture of the middle way between legalism and lawlessness in his book, After You Believe: Why Christian Character Matters. Wright notes the two extremes we've already mentioned and he's upfront throughout that he points to a middle way.
In the very first chapter, he observes that "many Christians have so emphasized the need for conversion...that they have a big gap in their vision of what being a Christian is all about." I couldn't agree more with this sentiment if I tried.
Too many Christians - especially in revival traditions - view the ultimate moment of the Christian life as the moment they first bowed their knee to Christ. But this is like watching baseball and getting all excited - shouting until you're hoarse - the first time your team gets a hit. Hitting the ball is great. But if he's out before he gets to first place - or really, if he's out before he gets home - then all of the excitement and joy is vain.
The ultimate moment of the Christian life isn't the first moment we bow our knee. It's the last breath we take, in union with Christ. It's the moment we cross 'home plate'.
And yet, for most of us, there's a huge gap between that first bowed knee and that last breath in Christ. What happens in that time? What should be taking place?
Legalism says that this time is taken up with keeping all of the right rules (though most legalists can't even agree on which rules are the 'right' rules).
Lawlessness says that this time is taken up with waiting for heaven and, perhaps, telling others about God's great grace.
But is that it? Are those our only tasks on this earth between conversion and death?
God didn't create us merely to follow rules. Neither did he make us to simply enjoy his gifts. When God formed Adam, he gave him a job.
"Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it..." (Genesis 1:28).
God created man as a royal-priest.
As Wright writes, "God placed Human in the garden to reflect his image into the new world he was making - that is, to be the means, present and visible, whereby his own care of the garden and the animals would become a reality" (pg 75). This royal-priestly role for man is found scattered throughout the scriptures - in both Old and New Testaments.
For example, when God delivers Israel from Egyptian bondage, he tells them, "you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation" (Exodus 19:6). Later, Peter picks this verse up and applies it to the Church (1 Peter 2:9). And Revelation tells us the same thing: "He has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father" (Revelation 1:6).
So, to be human means something. It means being created in the image of God, and with a particular task. And ultimately, that's what Christ is redeeming us to.
Jesus' didn't die just so we could go to 'heaven'. He died so that we, as human being, could be what God intended.
This is why Paul writes, "But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit. Therefore, since we have this ministry..." (2 Corinthians 4:1).
God has restored our capacity to image him rightly. And he has given us a ministry - a service - a task: the role of royal-priest.
A quick aside: I probably should have mentioned this sooner but this book is not filled with 284 pages of practical tips on growing in virtue or holiness. Wright penned this book to lay a theological foundation for understanding why we should want to grow in virtue and holiness in the first place. So if you come to it looking for practical advice, you won't get much. The last chapter is the only place in the book that deals heavily with practice. But that doesn't mean this book isn't worth reading. It is. If you closely follow the argument that Wright constructs, your understanding of the why will be deepened. And as the why is deepened, your desire for the what will grow as well.
"God's future is arriving in the present, in the person and work of Jesus, and you can practice, right now, the habits of life which will find their goal in that coming future" (page 103). This is the heart of Wright's thesis. And I don't know about you, but it excites me.
Jesus has inaugurated the Kingdom. And he's calling all people, everywhere, to enter and live in it today. But how do we become Christ-focused people? Without Christ, we're hopelessly lost in pride and idolatry. And going to an altar - bowing my knee for the first time - doesn't perfect me. Old habits need killing. Unhealthy desires need eliminating. And attitudes that used to be acceptable are not any longer.
We need to learn the language and culture of our new nation: the Kingdom of God.
If Wright uses the first half of the book to explain what we're called to, he spends the second half of the book discussing how we live into that calling.
In these chapters, he examines Paul's understanding of the spiritual-transformation made possible through Jesus' death and resurrection. He sums up many of the ideas here when he compares cultivating the fruit of the Spirit to gardening.
"The key is this: the 'fruit of the Spirit' does not grow automatically...Oh, there may well be strong and sudden initial signs that fruit is on the way...But this doesn't mean it's all downhill from there. These are the blossoms: to get the fruit you have to learn to be a gardener. You have to discover how to tend and prune, how to irrigate the fields, how to keep birds and squirrels away. You have to watch for blight and mold, cut away ivy and other parasites that suck the life out of the tree, and make sure the young trunk can stand firm in strong wings. Only then will the fruit appear" (page 195-196).
Throughout these latter chapters, he highlights the importance of the three Christian virtues (faith, hope, and love), the fruit of the Spirit, and the necessity of unity within the body. These make up the Kingdom of God's primary language and culture. Our life on this earth - between now and eternity - consists of growing in these things.
My own description of the Church as a 'laboratory of love' fits nicely with the way Wright describes the Church in these chapters. We learn Kingdom-culture there. And we practice the things that we will spend an eternity engaged in.
Wright also stresses the twin foci of worship and mission. We need to return to these again and again because we tend to move to one extreme or the other.
Wright ends the book with a chapter entitled, 'The Virtuous Circle'. Here, he delineates the five activities that he believes will contribute to our growth in Christian virtue and maturity.
The five include scripture, stories, examples, community, and practices.
This chapter is helpful and provides a needed practical viewpoint. However, the scripture/stories/examples all sort of flowed into one another. Many of the stories he mentions are stories from scripture. Though he does stress the value in other stories as well - including those that have no Christian background. I tend to agree with him here (though I can imagine others wouldn't). I would also include the telling of testimonies in this category though Wright doesn't explicitly mention that.
Wright's focus on the community of faith is a necessary prescription for the anti-establishment movement that has swept so many people into thinking they can live as Christians alone. The problem isn't 'church'. The problem is that too many churches aren't acting like churches.
Wright makes a valuable statement about what church should be here: "a community that is practicing the arts of being a royal priesthood, a working and worshipping fellowship for whom faith, hope, and love are being learned and exercised in the service of God's kingdom" (page 275). If Christians would all catch a vision like that (and then live into it), people would be clamoring to join in what God is doing.
In his section on practices, Wright notes the basic activities of the Christian life: communion, baptism, prayer, giving, and the reading of scripture. Amen and amen. I can't say more on that front.
There may have been a few things I disagreed with as I read but they were incidental to the main thrust of After You Believe (for example, replacing 'man' with 'human' in many scripture references; nothing wrong with it, it just sounds weird).
A month or so ago, I finished reading Matthew Bates's Salvation by Allegiance Alone. After You Believe is a great follow-up to that book since many of the threads there weave throughout Wright's book as well.
As is usual, I love Wright here. He's a gentle guide who takes your hand and walks you through the scriptures, one thought at a time. Like a pyramid-builder, Wright lays down one idea after another, until he finishes his task. And once finished, the reader comes away with more than just a few tips and tricks for greater spirituality. He comes away with why spirituality is worth pursing in the first place.
God calls us to so much more than mere rule-keeping or basking. He calls us to live in eternity today.
The question for us is, will we answer the call?
