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.

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.

OUTSTANDING
Format: Kindle
This was very, very good. The world is vast and characters are complex. There is a good plot with a whole lot going on. This is well written. Good twists and turns and some heart breaking moments. You will love these characters, they have heart and loyalty. I am hoping that there will be several more books. We've yet to see anything from the Sea Court but only a mention of them here and there. The Wood Court was given a quick couple of scenes, and only as far as some warriors, we've yet to enter their court and the Shadow Court, I'm not sure if they will be a force for good or bad, but they definitely will play a much bigger role moving forward. This is primarily the Ice and Air Courts. Told in multiple views, which I loved, it gives you a chance to see things from different eyes. There's alot of political maneuvering and deception. I loved it and will pick up the next book as it becomes available. If you like The Fae and the courts, you should love this. I think the author has mucn in store for us.

Definitely worth the read!
Format: Kindle
After taking a deep breath and taking in that wicked twist of an ending, I have finally composed myself. My first thought when I started this book was that I love Reyna's character. I was intrigued by her connection with her familiar and the Ruin that is plaguing her land. It came as no surprise that she took her sister's place in an attempt to protect her. When they reach the Air Court everything slows down. This is where it was iffy for me. First of all, I like multiple POV's in books however 7 is a bit much. It starts to interrupt the story line. I felt like I was finally making progress connecting with one character, then it was switched to another person. I felt they all had necessary or pertinent information but not necessarily were they all POV worthy. The only other thing that annoyed me was that Reyna constantly was " trapped." She would rush off without thinking, only to need rescuing. She is brilliant in a fight, but she really doesn't think through anything. Lorcan is amazing. I know he might be on the "bad" list, but his background is so interesting. Eislyn(Reyna's sister) is really so sweet, but calculating. I enjoyed her and Thane's dialogue. The author did an amazing job with the imagery in this book. Everything was so detailed it was easy to fall into the scene. I love unexpected twists and while part of the ending I expected, I wasn't expecting how it took place. All in all, I found it very entertaining and I am very invested in continuing this series.
Favorite quotes:
"The truth may be twisted but never false."
"Who was she if she was not the enemy of the Air Court? What was her purpose of she no longer has that?"
"In a war-torn land, love was always a lie."
