philodendron golden dragon variegated Philodendron Golden Dragon variegated 'Ocean Mint'Philodendron Golden Dragon variegated Ocean Mint is a rare variety prized primarily for its distinctive mint colored variegation. While many variegated Philodendrons develop white, cream, or yellow patterns, this variety displays soft shades of mint green, gray green, and light green. This creates a more subtle yet often more exclusive effect that differs significantly from the more well known variegata varieties. What makes this plant so interesting

Philodendron Golden Dragon variegated ‘Ocean Mint’ is a rare variety prized primarily for its distinctive mint-colored variegation. While many variegated Philodendrons develop white, cream, or yellow patterns, this variety displays soft shades of mint green, gray-green, and light green. This creates a more subtle yet often more exclusive effect that differs significantly from the more well-known variegata varieties.

What makes this plant so interesting to many collectors is that its appearance is constantly changing. No two leaves develop exactly the same way, and the color intensity appears to be strikingly dependent on lighting conditions. In bright light, new leaves can turn out significantly lighter and more mint-like, while the same plant develops a darker and more subtle pattern under less intense light.

Origin

The Golden Dragon belongs to the climbing Philodendrons and is known for its characteristic deeply lobed leaves, which become increasingly spectacular as the plant matures. The exact lineage of Golden Dragon is not fully documented within the hobby, but the plant is cultivated worldwide for its striking leaf shape and vigorous growth.

The name ‘Ocean Mint’ is used within the collecting community for selections that develop a distinct mint-colored variegation. This primarily refers to a selected form and not to an officially botanically described cultivar. As a result, individual plants may differ from one another in pattern and color intensity.

Characteristics

Philodendron Golden Dragon variegated ‘Ocean Mint’ forms elongated leaves that become increasingly deeply lobed as they grow. Young leaves are often relatively simple in shape, while older plants develop the characteristic “dragon shape” from which the Golden Dragon gets its name.

Its greatest appeal lies in its variegation. New leaves can display combinations of: mint green, gray-green, light green, and dark green.

Some leaves develop a fine marbled pattern, while others develop larger mint-colored sections. This makes every plant unique.

What we regularly observe with mint varieties of Golden Dragon is that the same plant can take on a different appearance throughout the year. Under grow lights or very bright indirect light, new leaves often develop a much lighter mint color, while leaves under less intense light retain a deeper green hue. This effect seems to be more pronounced in this selection than in many other Philodendrons.

As the plant grows larger and is provided with a moss pole or other climbing support, both the leaf size and the depth of the leaf lobes typically increase significantly.

Care

Light

This Philodendron grows best in bright, indirect light.

Sufficient light helps keep the mint-colored variegation clearly visible. Too little light can cause new leaves to turn darker and develop less contrast.

Temperature

Ideal temperatures range between 18 and 28 °C. Protect the plant from cold drafts and prolonged temperatures below 15 °C.

Substrate

Use an airy aroid potting mix with a good balance between moisture retention and ventilation. A mixture of bark, coconut coir, and other airy components usually works very well.

Humidity

A humidity level of 60 percent or higher promotes healthy leaf development and vigorous growth.

Watering

Allow the top layer of the growing medium to dry out slightly between waterings. Avoid keeping the roots wet for extended periods.

Preferably use demineralized water.

Fertilization

During the active growth period, a diluted houseplant or aroid fertilizer can be applied regularly.

Growth

This plant grows as a climber and develops significantly larger leaves when provided with support. A moss stick or similar climbing support typically results in more impressive leaf development than when the plant is kept hanging.

History worth reading
Format: Kindle
Presents the history of the Bretton Woods conference, creation of the World Bank and the IMF and global and US politics surrounding the events. Discussion of Harry Dexter White, key US representative at Bretton Woods focuses on claims he was a Soviet spy beginning in the late 1930s and continuing through the conference and into the late 1940s; spends more time than necessary on this even though it is not clear how this affected the outcome of the conference. Most of the discussion of Keynes is on his reputation rather than his economics. Not the definitive history of Bretton Woods.

Foes at the Top Table
Format: Kindle
Those of us who studied economics in the 60s grew up on Keynes. This book provides a fascinating picture of the great man in action. And an equally fascinating picture of the Lend Lease negotiations and then the US hard line at Bretton Woods. Behind this hard line was Harry Woods, of Lithuanian emigre stock, who clawed his way by hard work and intelligence to negotiating prominence in the US Treasury. And who was a Soviet agent of influence. Well written, lucid, and remarkably interesting.

A distant mirror of our current problems
Format: Hardcover
The title of this excellent book accurately describes its contents:it is about a battle fought to define a new world order, that which was emerging from the ashes of World War II. The book also conveys the messy complexity of such a historical process--how individual characters interpreted the events around them, realized that they were giving shape to a radically new future, tried to take advantage of them to advance their own personal and national interests, and succeeded in accordance with their intelligence, the cunning of their argumentation, and, above all, the shifts in the real power that supported them. Masterly, Benn Steil makes the reader feel how Keynes and White gradually reached an unspoken and unrecognized agreement regarding the shape that the new world would have, and then fought to gain advantage in that new world--Keynes trying to keep the British Empire paramount in the world order, now based not on the Royal Navy but on Britain's alliance with the United States, the emerging superpower, and White asserting the unimpeded power of the United States. Focusing on one crucial aspect of the new order, money, Steil is able to reenact the human drama of the transfer of world power from Britain to the United States in all orders of life. It is an excellent history book. The book, however, goes beyond history as the narration and understanding of past events. When reading it, there is an eerie feeling that you are reading about current events. The process that led to Bretton Woods started thirty years before, with World War I and the end of the classical gold standard. When the war ended, a new monetary system was created, which was called the gold exchange standard. It resembled but emasculated the power of the old gold standard to keep monetary order in the world at large. This new system gave central banks the power to create money independently of the international consequences of doing it. With time, central banks abused this power, created a boom in the 1920s and then a depression in the 1930s. Bretton Woods was convened to reintroduce order in the monetary world. Like the gold standard of old, the new system created there was tied to gold in an effort to ensure stability. Yet, it also allowed central banks freedom to create money under certain circumstances. As it happened in the 1920s and 1930s, central banks abused their power, blew up the international system (in this case the Bretton Woods system) and then led the world into a series of booms and busts that has not ended as yet. A new monetary order will be needed to avoid worldwide inflation and protracted recessions. To understand the issues that will be crucial to give shape to this new monetary order it will be necessary to revisit the making of Bretton Woods in detail. There is no better way to understand these issues that Ben Steil's The Battle of Bretton Woods. Thus, in addition to being an excellent history book, it is also an excellent book about current events. Full disclosure: I wrote a previous book with Benn Steil: Money, Markets and Sovereignty (Yale University Press, 2009).

The Battle of Bretton Woods
Format: Hardcover
From the growing reliance upon international finance and the devastating repercussions of two World Wars, Steil weaves together an important narrative that tells the story of America's rise to the world stage as a major power. Britain's reign of dominance comes to an abrupt end under the weight of the Second World War and the dependence of their territories. Reliance on foreign aid and mounting debt put Britain in a precarious situation for which the United States capitalized on to secure its place as the dominant world power. Through the ideas and experiences of two brilliant economists, Harry White and John Keynes, were guided through the creation and implementation of an economic solution to remedy, and further amalgamate the global financial framework. At Bretton Woods, White and Keynes promote slightly different plans that form the International Monetary Fund and World Bank; organizations designed to monitor, stabilize, and assist international finance. To Britain, and much of the world's chagrin, the organizations are formed in a manner that benefited the United States post-World War Two position as a creditor nation. Dollar dominance in the newly designed financial markets promotes short-term growth for the United States. However, financial mismanagement and over-extension soon lead the U.S. down a path of monetary hardship that ultimately results in our current situation as debtor nations (much like Britain was when the story began). The author ends the narrative by chronicling the effects of Bretton Woods on the United States, Britain, and international finance from the mid-twentieth century to the present. This book tells the remarkable story of America's rise to power through a financial lens. Steil is a wonderful writer who describes complex ideas of monetary policy, international economics, and currency manipulation in such a manner that is easy to understand and leaves the reader wanting more.

This is part of a 4 volume series on (primarily) European history covering the development of the French and Industrial revolution(s) with particular emphasis on the Belle Epoque that marked the end of nearly 100 years of peace among the European Powers.
