Philodendron sp. Colombia
Philodendron sp. Colombia is a crawling Philodendron with large, heart-shaped green leaves and a quilted surface. The relatively thick blades give the leaf surface a firm texture.
The stem creeps across the pot surface rather than climbing upward. A wider pot gives the crawling stem room to extend and keeps the growing points close to the surface.
Quilted leaves and crawling growth in Philodendron sp. Colombia
- Leaf shape: Large, heart-shaped leaves with a broad, rounded outline.
- Texture: Quilted leaf surface with a relatively thick blade.
- Growth habit: Crawling stem that moves across the pot surface.
- Pot behaviour: Wider containers give the creeping stem more usable room than narrow upright pots.
- Stem position: The crawling stem should rest at substrate level so air can reach the tissue between rooting points.
- Surface room: Open space around the pot gives the quilted leaves and creeping stem room to extend.
How the crawling stem behaves indoors
Philodendron sp. Colombia grows from a creeping stem that should sit at the substrate surface. New roots can enter the mix from the nodes, while the stem itself needs air around it.
The thick quilted leaves give the plant a firm blade texture. A creeping stem needs surface room, so a shallow or wider container is usually more useful than a tall narrow pot once the plant starts extending sideways.
Philodendron sp. Colombia care for a creeping stem
- Light placement: Bright indirect light keeps the thick leaves firm, with the broad surface protected from harsh direct sun.
- Watering: Keep the substrate lightly moist, then let the upper layer dry before watering again.
- Air moisture: Moderate to high humidity keeps expanding quilted leaves from hardening with dry edges.
- Temperature: Warm indoor conditions keep new roots active along the creeping stem.
- Root zone: Choose a chunky mix so the crawling stem and roots stay away from dense wet pockets.
- Pot choice: Place the creeping stem at substrate level so new roots can enter the mix while the stem remains exposed to air.
- Repotting: Move to a wider pot when the stem reaches the rim or new growth starts pressing against the pot edge.
- Fertilising: Feed lightly during active growth, especially while new roots form along the creeping stem.
- Pruning: Remove damaged leaves close to the petiole base and avoid cutting the main crawling stem unless propagation is planned.
- Semi-hydroponics: Mineral culture needs careful stem placement, with the creeping stem above the wet zone and roots entering the medium below.
Crawling-stem issues in Philodendron sp. Colombia
- Stem rot: A crawling stem can soften if it is covered by wet, compacted substrate.
- Yellow leaves: Overwatering and poor air around the roots can stress the plant before the stem shows damage.
- Dry edges: Thick leaves can still mark at the edges when humidity drops or watering becomes too uneven.
- Stalled growth: A cramped pot rim can stop the creeping stem from extending cleanly.
- Leaf dullness: Dust can settle into the quilted surface; wipe leaves gently so the texture stays visible.
- Pests: Inspect leaf backs and the base of petioles, especially where the crawling stem rests near the substrate.
Philodendron sp. Colombia safety
Philodendron sp. Colombia should be kept away from pets and children, as chewed Philodendron tissue can cause mouth and stomach irritation.
With a wider pot and an airy surface around the stem, Philodendron sp. Colombia develops thick, quilted leaves along a creeping stem.

Anything from Skip I will read ASAP.
Format: Hardcover
I so look forward to reading this. Skip Atwater is a pioneer in the exploration of consciousness. I had the pleasure of meeting him for an interview while making my film Third Eye Spies and his knowledge of remote viewing and the Army history of the subject was some of the most compelling testimony I heard. I am excited to get my copy of this new book.

Glorious book on Man's (unfortunate) wars with himself
Format: Hardcover
If you have any interest in the subject matter, buy this book, it is fantastic.
Many beautiful paintings and maps, some on full pages.
One comment. In various parts of this book it has something called "Directory," which is just paragraphs on events that the writer did not see deserving a full page in the book.
On page 42 we have "Directory: Before 1000 CE," and included is a paragraph on "Teutoburg Forest, Roman-Germanic Wars, 9 CE" The paragraph ends with: "Although there were subsequent expeditions to Germany, the Roman frontier became fixed at the Rhine (River)."
Surely, this is one of the greatest battles and results in European history and should have had a full two pages in this book instead of just a short paragraph. See the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, 9 CE.
Another short fall of this book is no mention of Boudica, who in AD 60 0r 61, was defeated by the Romans (commander- Suetonius Paullinus), who went on to "rule" England and Wales to about AD 410. This is my review of Graham Webster's book "Boudica: The British revolt against Rome in AD 60:
Lucid, well written on Boudica, queen of the East Anglian kingdom of the Iceni tribe, and much more. Sixteen pages of black and white photographs.

The Epilogue, a timeless piece of writing, should be read by everyone, young and old. The last sentence of the book in the Epilogue reads:
"They may help us to see more clearly what is happening in the world today, and even help us prevent some of the worst excesses of human folly and greed for power, which brings incalculable misery and suffering to the innocent majority."
Re: Boudica and the final battle with Suetonius Paullinus and the approximately 12,000 men under his command and Boudica's warriors, which could have been as great as 100,000, page 99, (but could be less);

Security (Surprise);
Simplicity (Objective);
Movement (Mobility);
Economy of Force (Superiority at Point of Contact);
Cooperation (Unity of Command)
On pages 98-99 in the book we have Fig. 5-, (if this is indeed the place of the final battle took place) "The battle between Boudica and Paullinus in its possible Mancetter context," it is clear that Paullinus had chosen the place of the battle and his position to force Boudica's warriors to a frontal attack and thereby creating "Superiority at Point of Contact." And this is probably what happened, as Boudica's warriors attacked and were funneled into the Roman Legion "buzz saw" due to their "simple" frontal attack.
From Fig. 5 again, it is clear that there was forest behind Paullinus and his men and the River Anker in front of them. I do not know if it would have possible to attack Paullinus from the rear by going through the forest. However, again from Fig. 5, it is apparent that Boudica's warriors probably could have attacked Paullinus from the right and left flanks (even though the Roman cavalry was on both flanks), creating a three pronged attack, negating some of the Roman's "Superiority at Point of Contact." It is clear that Boudica lost "Cooperation (Unity of Command)," or never had it in the first place, leading to the rout by Paullinus' much smaller force over a much larger force and the fate of Britain for about the next 400 years.
The Roman brutality that caused this uprising and Boudica's, and her warriors response, are part of history. Paullius' (whatever you think of him), choice of the battlefield was tactically brilliant, and no one, including Boudica, could match it on the field of battle that day.

Poor formatting for Kindle, GREAT as a hardback
Format: Kindle
So far I am loving this book, and hating its formatting for the Kindle. Probably because of all the maps and illustrations, it is hard to enjoy on my Kindle, and I have to awkwardly change the size of the page 3-4 times on every page while I try to read it. My guess is I would really love it as a physical book. LATER: As noted I was very disappointed trying to read this on a small Kindle, but the book looked so promising that I repurchased it in hardback. WOW what a difference. Wonderful illustrations, maps, the works. Given the number of important battles chosen, it would not be possible to go into great detail on any single one, but most people are not going to remember all those details anyway, and this book gives you what you really need, and the level of detail you are likely to remember and to help you appreciate the importance of the event. Strongly recommended in hardback.
