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.

High Quality, Firm Pillow
Color: White, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
I purchased a two-pack queen-size. They were extremely difficult to remove from the packaging case (without another person's assistance) to the point that I had to get scissors and cut the packaging case to be able to remove them. Once I was able to remove the plastic wrapping from the pillow, the pillow fluffed up nicely. First I tried it as a hugging pillow, then I tried it as a sleeping pillow (I am a side sleeper). This is a firm pillow. I would rate it as an 8, on a scale of 1-10, with 1 being ultra plush, and 10 being extra firm. It is not the most ideal as a hugging pillow, as a softer pillow would be better, but it still did well. I feel that it did pretty well as a sleeping pillow, sleeping on my side, as its on the firmer side, and I felt I was not sinking into the pillow as I would with a softer pillow. There was little smell coming out of the packaging and was almost non-existent by the time I used it to sleep. I have decided to keep this pillow due to its high quality materials.

Strong memory foam smell and more memory foam needed.
Color: White, Size: King(pack of 2)
My husband and I both think these pillows are very comfortable! Which for me is really great, since I have been trying to find a comfortable pillow for several years without success, until now. Our only complaint is the strong chemical smell of the memory foam filling. When they arrived, I opened them up and let them air for 48 hours and fluffed them in the dryer per the instructions. They still had a strong odor, so I removed the zippered covers, washed and air dryed them over night. I hoped between that and letting the thin cloth sack containing the memory foam, air out another night, the smell would be gone, but it wasn't. We decided to sleep on them anyway. UPDATE: We have been sleeping on them now for 9 nights and the smell is finally lessening. The initial fluff the pillows had from putting them in the dryer is now gone and we are wishing more memory foam had came with them. We both started out using all the foam they came with, but after sleeping on them for 9 nights, they have flattened. I re-fluff them with my hands every morning when I make the bed, but it doesn't last long. We wish they had come with more memory foam, so they could be more supportive.
