Thaumatophyllum 'African Fantasy' – Hybrid Floor Aroid with Transforming, Deeply Lobed Leaves
Thaumatophyllum 'African Fantasy' is a horticultural hybrid of Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum × Thaumatophyllum spruceanum, uniting dramatic lobing with elegant, architectural form. Juvenile leaves emerge smooth and entire; with maturity, foliage develops pronounced, multi-lobed shapes. Each new leaf is distinct, giving a dynamic, ever-changing display in modern interiors.
Previously circulated under names like Philodendron 'Angela', Philodendron selloum × Philodendron goeldii, this plant is now correctly placed in Thaumatophyllum following morphological and genetic research within Araceae.
What Makes 'African Fantasy' Stand Out
- Leaf transformation: Entire juvenile blades evolve into large, deeply lobed fronds.
- Statement presence: Glossy, rich green foliage and a self-supporting, tree-like habit.
- Hybrid vigour: Adaptable and resilient, combining strengths of both parent species.
Natural Context of the Parent Species
T. bipinnatifidum occurs in subtropical South America (Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, Argentina) along forest edges and bright understory sites. T. spruceanum inhabits humid lowland rainforest of the western/central Amazon (Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador). Understanding these niches helps tailor indoor care: bright filtered light, warm temperatures, steady moisture, and good air around roots.
Light and Positioning for Optimal Leaf Development
- Best in bright, indirect light to maximise leaf size and lobe depth.
- Tolerates medium light with slower growth; avoid harsh midday sun to prevent scorch.
- Allow space for lateral spread; ideal as a focal floor plant against a plain wall or open corner.
Water, Humidity and Temperature – Keeping Growth Consistent
- Watering: Let the top 2 – 3 cm of substrate dry before watering again. In warm, bright conditions growth is faster and the mix dries sooner; in cooler, lower-light situations, extend intervals to avoid staying wet.
- Drainage: Always empty saucers; do not leave roots standing in water.
- Humidity: Performs reliably at typical indoor humidity; 50 – 70% supports larger, cleaner leaves and reduces edge browning.
- Temperature: Target 18 – 27 °C; protect from cold drafts or hot, dry airflow.
Soil Recipes and Potting Choices for Healthy Roots
- Aroid mix: 40% quality potting compost, 30% orchid bark (medium), 20% perlite or coarse pumice, 10% coco coir/fine bark. Aim for airy, chunky structure that holds moisture without stagnation.
- Container: Pots with large drainage holes; terracotta improves aeration (dries faster – monitor accordingly).
- Semi-hydro: Adapts well to inert substrates (e.g., expanded clay, mineral mixes) with stable nutrient solution and oxygenation.
Fertilising and Repotting – Simple, Effective Routine
- Feed every 4 – 6 weeks with a balanced liquid fertiliser at low dose on already moist substrate.
- Optionally add a light layer of slow-release granules for background nutrition.
- Repot every 2 – 3 years or when roots circle the base; increase pot size gradually to maintain aeration.
Propagation and Ongoing Upkeep
- Propagation: Stem cuttings with at least one node; root in water, perlite, or airy substrate before potting up.
- Maintenance: Rotate periodically for even light; remove yellow or damaged leaves at the base; wipe dust from leaf surfaces.
- Support: Naturally self-supporting; staking rarely needed once established.
Growth Habit and Expected Size
- Upright, self-supporting habit with spreading canopy.
- Typical indoor size 1.2 – 1.5 m under good care; individual leaves to ~60 cm.
- Toxicity: Contains insoluble calcium oxalates; keep out of reach of pets and children.
Common Issues and Fast Fixes
- Yellowing leaves: Often from excess moisture or compact mix – improve drainage and allow more drying between waterings.
- Brown tips/edges: Increase humidity stability and maintain consistent, moderate moisture.
- Pests: Inspect for spider mites, mealybugs, thrips; rinse foliage and treat promptly with insecticidal soap or appropriate controls.
- Leggy or small leaves: Move to brighter filtered light; ensure feeding and root aeration are adequate.
Styling and Placement Ideas
- Showcase silhouette by giving fronds room to expand – avoid crowding against furniture.
- Pair with broad-leaf aroids for a layered, tropical look; use warm-toned planters to highlight deep green foliage.
Etymology and Botanical Notes
Thaumatophyllum combines Greek “thauma” (wonder) and “phyllon” (leaf), reflecting the dramatic foliage. Parent species span South America from subtropical forest edges to humid Amazonian understory; reclassification from Philodendron to Thaumatophyllum follows phylogenetic work in Araceae.

Outstanding, top of the line diaper!
Size: Size 1, Unit Count: 252
We normally use Huggies Little Movers with our 3.5 year old (nothing against them, they're also great diapers) but recently decided to give Swaddlers a try, and will not be going back. This is a top-of-the-line diaper and excels in all ways.
We use a size 7 though could *probably* get away with a size 6, and use about 4-5 diapers a day on average (not including his overnight diaper) depending on how much he's had to drink and how often he poops -usually once a day, but could be as many as 3 times, especially if he doesn't go one day.
The first thing you notice about these diapers is how soft they are. I mean, they just feel like they would be comfortable on a child, and since they're in them practically 24/7, that's important. The diaper is mostly white, and the overall designs are more muted than a lot of other diapers, with "Shilo and Friends" -an elephant and duck - on the front and back. I personally wouldn't mind something bolder, I don't think my child cares or even notices. There is a wetness indicator that goes down the length of the diaper, front and back. Nice to have I suppose for a caregiver who maybe doesn't change a lot of diapers, but at this age and stage, it's easy to know and tell. Like all Pampers diapers, they are scented. I happen to love the gentle powder-like scent, but it's a turn-off to some who describe it as too strong, and of course, if your child is sensitive to that, you may want to avoid Pampers diapers.
Inside, the top sheet liner keeps his skin dry, even when he wets heavily -which is usually - and does a good job of keeping poop from sticking to his bottom. The "blowout barrier" in the back also helps contain any messes. In terms of absorbency, I'm pretty amazed at how much they can hold. Being a little older, he tends to stay drier for longer periods and then pee a larger amount at one time, but the diaper almost always holds it in, and leaks are rare.
The one thing I wish that Pampers did do was have wider tapes, like Huggies, at least on the larger sizes, where kids are more active. It hasn't been a problem, so I don't really have a reason for saying that, other than that it seems like it would help with fit, but it certainly won't keep me from buying or using them in the future.

History of Egypt
Format: Kindle
Egypt has played a vital role throughout history. This book traces and evaluates the history of Egypt from ancient times until the modern period. During ancient times, the Pharaohs created a strong Egypt. During the Ottoman times, Egypt played a significant role as a regional power. Both French and British played a vital role in Egyptian politics. The Suez canal put Egypt, an important player in world commerce. The Nasser regime entered Egypt into cold world politics. The USA managed under Sadat to place Egypt at the American camp. Eventually, Egypt was the first Arab country to sign a peace treaty with Israel after various brutal wars. Egyptian culture dominated western civilization throughout the centuries. The reader will enjoy this book.

Great summary of Egyptian history
Format: Kindle
The book is—as the subtitle states—an “Overview of Egyptian History.” The book is a brief summary of Egypt’s long and interesting history. It starts with historical events: who were the rulers? What territories did Egypt conquer? Who conquered Egypt. The second part of the book discusses social, economic, and religious history.
This primer lays out all of the above topics but with little detail so the reader may wish to select topics of interest to study in further depth elsewhere. Because Egypt’s history includes millennia, I find it hard to understand, so reading this book was valuable to me.
The book is written in a style that makes it easy to read. It is not at all dry as some textbooks can be.
I recommend this book to anyone who wants an overview of Egyptian history and look forward to reading other books in the series.
