The Green Congo Philodendron is a bold and elegant tropical plant prized for its large, glossy green leaves and upright non-climbing growth. Native to the tropical regions of South America, this plant grows in a bushy, upright form, making it perfect as a statement piece in pots or garden beds. 

Its low-maintenance care requirements and lush foliage make it ideal for modern homes and offices. It’s also favored for its air-purifying abilities, helping improve indoor air quality by removing toxins.

Its ability to thrive in various light conditions adds to its widespread appeal. When mature, Congo Green Philodendron can grow up to 3 feet tall indoors and up to 4 feet outdoors in ideal conditions.

The broad, glossy, dark green leaves emerge from sturdy, upright stems, giving the plant a clean, architectural look.

It’s a non-climbing Philodendron, which means it maintains its compact, bushy shape without the need for support. This plant is evergreen, retaining its vibrant foliage throughout the year.

The flowers are typically inconspicuous and consist of a spadix surrounded by a green or white spathe. The plant is grown more for its foliage than its blooms, as the flowers do not add significant visual interest.

When it comes to care, it thrives in bright, indirect light for at least 4-6 hours daily, but it can also tolerate lower light levels, making it a versatile indoor plant. It prefers well-drained soil to avoid waterlogging. Water the plant when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry, ensuring the soil remains evenly moist but not soggy.

When growing indoors, it prefers a temperature range of 65–85°F, while outdoors, it can grow in USDA Zones 10–11.

Pruning should be done as needed to remove dead or damaged leaves and maintain their shape.

Fertilize your plant once a year in the spring, during the growing season, with a balanced, water-soluble NPK fertilizer to encourage lush growth.

The 'Green Congo' Philodendron can be propagated through division. Carefully remove the plant from its pot and divide it into sections with roots, making sure that each division has healthy stems and leaves. Water thoroughly and replant the divisions in fresh soil. Propagation is most effective during the spring and summer months when the plant is actively growing. 

According to ASPCA, the Philodendron ‘Congo Green’ is mildly toxic to pets and humans if ingested in large amounts. It is safe to touch and handle, but caution should be taken to keep it out of reach of curious pets and children.  

Overall, Philodendron ‘Green Congo’ is an exceptional plant that combines elegance with ease of care. Its lush green foliage and upright growth make it a standout addition to any space, while its adaptability and low-maintenance nature appeal to both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts. Whether as a potted indoor centerpiece or a striking addition to tropical outdoor landscapes, the Green Congo is sure to bring a touch of verdant beauty to your surroundings.

Has both Middle English and modern English
Format: Paperback
This translation of "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" has alternating the original Middle English on the left page and a modern English translation by James Winny on the right page. The translation is well done and it retains the Medieval feel of the original author. I have no intention of learning the northern dialect of Middle English but it was interesting to look at the language and see what it was like. "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" was written in the 1300s and it is written in the form of a poem. It starts out at the court of King Arthur on New Year's Day. A green knight shows up and asks if anyone at the court will give a blow with a battle-axe that day and receive a blow with it twelve months and a day later. Arthur agrees to do it but Sir Gawain steps in and offers to do it instead. The green knight receives the blow by Gawain which cuts off his head. The green knight picks up his head and tells Gawain to fulfill his promise by seeking him out at the Green Chapel to receive a blow from the battle-axe in return. Sir Gawain then leaves King Arthur's court to find the Green Chapel and fulfill his promise. The poem "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" is different from other Arthurian works. It is more barbaric and earthier. In some respects it is like other Arthurian works in that it romanticizes the mythical era of King Arthur portraying it as a time of luxury. My impression when reading the poem was that the scenery in Britain is quite beautiful. I hope to go to Britain one day. Themes found in the poem include a praise of courage. The poem also stresses however that one should not be too courageous. Resisting temptation is also a theme of the poem. The resistance of temptation is the main part of the story. The poem doesn't shy away from detailing the attraction between men and women. The Christian notion that adultery is wrong is shown. The poem plays around with the concept of adultery making it out to be somewhat of a joke. "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" also has a long part detailing the hunting of animals by a lord. The poem goes into so much detail describing the hunt that it is almost as if the poem is teaching the reader how to do it. My conclusion upon reading "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" is that it is a fine example of an Arthurian work. It has all the messages one would normally find in an Arthurian work. The poem toys with the idea of evil in a humorous way as Arthurian works generally do. For readers of Arthurian legend, "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" is an important work in the genre.

Read for a college course
Format: Paperback
This is a really fascinating subversion of the tropes of courtly love. Roles generally given to women are given to religion, and quests that in earlier literature are completely external are internalized. I read this for a college course on Arthurian romances and it was definitely one of my favorite books we read. This version has the Middle English (which is difficult Middle English, by the way -- more difficult than Chaucer) on one page and a modern English translation on the facing page.
