Discover the Unique Beauty of Philodendron crassinervium
Philodendron crassinervium, commonly known as the Strap-Leaf Philodendron, is a captivating tropical plant native to southeast Brazil. Renowned for its long, lance-shaped leaves and distinctive growth habit, this species adds an exotic touch to any indoor plant collection.
Key Features of Philodendron crassinervium
- Foliage: Features elongated, lanceolate leaves that can grow up to 1 meter (approximately 3 feet) in length and 10 cm (approximately 4 inches) in width. The prominent midrib serves as a water storage organ, aiding the plant during dry periods.
- Growth Habit: Exhibits a climbing growth pattern with repent (creeping) and scandent (climbing) stems, making it ideal for training on supports or allowing to trail gracefully.
- Unique Characteristics: The midrib is adorned with small red glands that produce a clear sap, giving the leaves a freckled appearance on both sides.
How to Grow and Care for Philodendron crassinervium
- Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorching.
- Watering: Maintain moist soil by watering thoroughly when the top 50% of the soil has dried out. Ensure the pot has proper drainage to prevent root rot.
- Soil: Prefers loose, well-draining soil rich in organic matter. A mix containing coco coir, perlite, and orchid bark is ideal.
- Temperature and Humidity: Grows well in temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C) during the day and above 55°F (13°C) at night. Keep away from drafts, especially during winter months.
- Fertilization: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced, diluted houseplant fertilizer. Reduce feeding frequency during fall and winter.
- Pruning: Regular pruning helps maintain the desired shape and encourages bushier growth.
Common Issues and Solutions
- Yellowing Leaves: Often a sign of overwatering. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings and ensure proper drainage.
- Leggy Growth: May indicate insufficient light. Move the plant to a brighter location with indirect sunlight.
- Pests: Watch for common pests like aphids, mealybugs, and spider mites. Treat infestations promptly with appropriate insecticidal soap , neem oil, or use beneficial insects.

Good, Fun, Important Topics
Format: Paperback
Good, solid, read for ages 12+. Somewhat unrealistic and yet believable story of two strong young female characters traveling west disguised as boys. Couldn't stop reading it until I was finished with the book, and now my granddaughter is doing the same. This book has many relevant themes about race, gender, class, religion, and other stereotypes and is an excellent choice for a classroom or family read aloud. Get it.

Wonderful story, great for book club though written by a young adult author.
Format: Kindle
Such a “cliffhanger” for me, a just could not put it down. I read this Wild West historical novel three times, that is how good it was. Such great fun for me, while got the ladies in our book club talking about growing up, being brave.

My pick for Best YA from 2015
Format: Kindle
I don't usually like Westerns, but this historical novel reads like a racially diverse Little House on the Prairie. There's a touch of romance, but the most important relationship is the friendship between these two resourceful girls. The writing is superb with well developed characters, a fast pace and a fine sense of place and period (1849). Despite dealing with tough issues like murder, slavery and racism, it still manages to be a feel good story, appropriate for tweens as well as teens. The girl protagonists are 15 and 16 and the boys are a bit older. This debut tops my list of best YA from 2015 that I've read to date: http://blog.sarahlaurence.com/2015/12/best-ya-books-of-2015.html

Nice
Format: Kindle
There is some attempted sexual violence. Otherwise this is a good book for middle and high schoolers. Story of a Chinese American and African American girl on the run in the wild wild west.

... into YA Westerns and I have yet to be disappointed. Under a Painted Sky is a diverse
Format: Hardcover
Over the past year I have made a foray into YA Westerns and I have yet to be disappointed. Under a Painted Sky is a diverse, cultural infused tale of two girls, Our main character, Sam a Chinese, newly orphaned girl, teams up with Annamae (Andy), an African-America, runaway slave. Together they flee St. Joe, Missouri disguised as boys and begin on the Oregon Trail. They soon join three cowboys who help keep them safe and teach them how to survive.
I think what I loved most about this book is how Lee was able to incorporate Sam's Chinese heritage and beliefs along with Andy's and intertwine all it beautifully into this richly told story. Sam's and Andy's friendship was also a highlight of the book. It caused for some great moments, some funny, many heartfelt, and I was glad to see such a positive example of female friendship in a YA novel.
Although "girl disguised as boy" seem to be a common theme in YA westerns I did not mind it here and thought Sam's inner thoughts about the challenges of pretending to be a boy were hilarious.
I think Lee struck the perfect balance between an adventure story, a coming of age tale, and portrait of what life could be like for minorities and females in the 1800s
