Philodendron squamiferum × serpens
Philodendron squamiferum × serpens has green leaves, textured petioles, and a climbing stem with nodes and aerial roots. This hybrid between Philodendron squamiferum and Philodendron serpens develops as a vine with nodes that can attach to early upright support.
The leaf shape can vary between individual plants, while the petioles often carry the fuzzy, scaly, or bristly-looking texture associated with this cross. A pole, plank, or other firm support gives the stem a surface to attach to as it lengthens.
What makes Philodendron squamiferum × serpens distinctive
- Hybrid parentage: Cross between Philodendron squamiferum and Philodendron serpens.
- Petiole texture: Fuzzy to scaly-looking petioles give the leaf stalks a rougher surface than smooth-stemmed Philodendron.
- Leaf colour: Green foliage contrasts with the textured petioles and climbing stem.
- Growth habit: A climbing stem develops nodes and aerial roots as it matures.
- Indoor shape: Upright support keeps the vine organised before the stem becomes long and loose.
Climbing growth in Philodendron squamiferum × serpens
This hybrid extends from a climbing stem. New leaves emerge along the vine, while aerial roots form at the nodes and can attach to a textured support. Keeping the stem upright gives new growth space to form and reduces twisting or crowding around the petioles.
Individual plants may show different balances of fuzziness, scaling, and leaf form. Petiole texture and leaf shape become more defined once the plant has settled and started climbing.
Care for Philodendron squamiferum × serpens
- Light: Bright filtered light keeps internodes shorter and reduces weak, stretched vine growth.
- Water: Water when the upper part of the substrate has started to dry; wet, stagnant roots can slow growth and yellow leaves.
- Humidity: Moderate to high humidity helps new leaves expand without sticking around the textured petioles.
- Substrate: A chunky aroid mix lets air reach the roots and reduces waterlogging around the climbing nodes.
- Support: Add a pole or plank while the plant is still manageable, so aerial roots can attach as the stem lengthens.
- Temperature: Warm indoor temperatures are safest; cold wet substrate can damage roots and stall new growth.
Common issues with Philodendron squamiferum × serpens
- Leaf damage: Dry air can make new leaves stick or tear as they emerge near textured petioles.
- Root stress: Dense substrate that stays wet can cause yellowing, limp growth, and root decline.
- Pests: Thrips, spider mites, and mealybugs can hide around petioles, nodes, and new leaf folds.
- Weak growth: Low light can produce longer internodes and smaller leaves on the climbing stem.
Botanical background of Philodendron squamiferum × serpens
The hybrid name combines two parent species. Philodendron squamiferum was described by Eduard Friedrich Poeppig in 1845, while Philodendron serpens was described by Joseph Dalton Hooker in 1878. In the parent names, squamiferum means scale-bearing and serpens means creeping or crawling.
Safety note for Philodendron squamiferum × serpens
Like other Philodendron, this hybrid should be kept away from pets and children who may chew the leaves or stems. The plant contains irritating calcium oxalate crystals that can affect the mouth, throat, and skin on contact with sap.

Not the Complete Book
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
This review is for the Wordsworth Classics Luxe edition of Little Women.
Quality issues aside - the first thing to know is that this is NOT the complete version of this book. It is only chapters 1-23, or Part 1, and the full book has 47 chapters including Part 2. It is rare to see the book split like this, and wasn't even something I considered when purchasing it. It doesn’t say this anywhere in the product description.
Now, onto quality:
The good: This book has a lovely cover and interior page design. It also has a nice orange coloring on the sides and a standard quality ribbon. The text seems to be a good size and would be comfortable for reading.
The bad: The overall quality is very poor. The book is made of what feels like construction paper, and it arrived with many blemishes and defects to its sides and corners. This book looks like it’s 25 years old, and is definitely not worth a cost of $20. Even if you were to purchase a new copy in relatively good shape, I can’t see this offering any kind of long term durability.
Overall, I would not recommend this product to someone looking for a nice reading or display copy, or the full version, of Little Women.
As a note: I also purchased the Luxe edition of Jane Eyre which had the same quality issues. I left a similar review on that page, although the full contents of that book appeared to be there.

You can get this online free, but I bought it. Let Fanon turn your brain inside out.
I actually like the idea of supporting a press that is publishing Fanon.
When I was growing up with my dad working with the SCLC and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., as part of the night security crew for the summer marches, I was probably more aware than most Americans -- certainly most Americans outside of the black community -- of how much permeability there was between the nonviolent SCLC, and the Black Panther movement, for which Fanon was a seed influence.
Youth in the SNCC organization, the youth group associated with the SCLC, often went back and forth between SNCC and the Panthers as they developed their activist identity and their ideas of how justice might be achieved.
The phrase "by any means necessary" used by the Panthers often scared the bejeezus out of the white community. But when I sat down with my father -- who was an adherent of formal nonviolence -- he handed me Fanon to read, and told me that it was a valid investigation as to whether violence should be considered if nonviolent means were not entertained by the state.
To my dad, who was a peaceful but fiercely justice-oriented man (for those of you who know the idiom "fire of Amos" he had it), he considered that without the counterpoint of the Panthers, MLK would never have gotten a hearing in Washington DC.
Just the idea that there were revolutionaries in American society looking at American "apartheid" and saying, "We are willing to take care of our own if you separate us. We see our situation as that of a post-colonial slavery society and use the model of African liberation as our model. We are willing to be peaceful if we are given justice in peace, but we do not believe that you are acting in good faith and will use whatever means necessary to see you follow your own promises of justice and see justice for our own people if you will not see that done."
That was actually a step down from Fanon. That was actually optimism.
But all white Americans heard out of any of that was: "...by any means necessary." They didn't think of how they were creating the circumstances that might precipitate violence. That whites had created a system that instituted violence to keep slaves, and later free blacks, contained and preserve power and privilege for the white majority.
It is hard for most Americans to even realize that America -- although we became independent from England -- continued as a colonial nation and economy on our own continent and territory. That all the institutions of the repression and destruction of indigenous and imported-slave cultures that happened "over there" in countries that Europeans colonized far from home, we did at home as a break-away colony, and the Europeans who conquered America never relented, compromised, or acknowledged that colonial reality in the way that the Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, Italian, French, and British Empires did in their colonial domains.
So Fanon is someone worth reading, not only for Africans, or for African-Americans, but for any American or anyone else in the world who wants to better ponder white privilege in America and how it became so very different from colonial privilege as that faded in Africa, through the lens of this Algerian revolutionary philosopher, who so influenced our Panthers.
I remain committed to nonviolence personally, but I understand intensely how MLK and Malcolm balance each other. And how that can actually lead to better peaceful solutions, in a social justice conflict where the status quo has been preserved by judicial and extrajudicial violence by a superior force.
This is still relevant in puppet regimes all over the world. In client states of capitalist powers and of Russia and China. In the conflicts surrounding Israel, and the conflicts throughout the Middle East and Central Asia that are often couched in sectarian terms or sectarian vs secular terms.
It is vital to understanding countries like Zimbabwe or South Africa, where the dynamics of early black leadership as colonial-wannabes are creating environments of corruption and scandal, and robbing their own people.
Everyone should read Fanon. If you can't afford the book here, you can find it online free. This book, and Black Skin, White Masks, both highly recommended.
If you don't like Marxist/Socialist politics, try to suspend disbelief a bit. The philosophy, sociology, and psychology is amazing.
