Philodendron x serratum 'Golden Saw' – Serrated Form and Golden Foliage Tips
Philodendron x serratum 'Golden Saw', also sold as 'Gergaji Golden', is a vibrant, self-heading hybrid with deeply lobed leaves that glow in warm tones of chartreuse to golden green. Each leaf is long, dramatically serrated, and thick in texture, creating a bold silhouette that lives up to the “saw” in its name. New leaves often emerge with a more intense yellow tone before settling into a softer lime-gold. Compact and upright by nature, this Philodendron develops a sculptural form without needing support, making it an easy choice for floor pots or containers with good height clearance.
Foliage Structure and Growth Habit of Philodendron x serratum 'Golden Saw'
- Leaf shape: Deeply cut and jagged with a serrated, saw-like edge
- Colour: Bright golden green with hints of chartreuse, especially on new leaves
- Growth form: Self-heading, upright with a wide, symmetrical base
- Indoor size: Grows up to 70 – 100 cm tall and 60 – 80 cm wide
- Texture: Smooth, thick leaves with a semi-glossy surface
Natural Origin and Hybrid Context of Philodendron x serratum
Philodendron x serratum is a hybrid believed to involve large-lobed Meconostigma-type species, potentially including Philodendron bipinnatifidum. It mimics species found in the tropical forests of South America, where temperatures range from 22 – 30 °C with consistently high humidity and bright filtered light. 'Golden Saw' is a cultivated variant selected for its dramatic serration and unusually bright colour. Its self-supporting structure makes it an excellent statement plant indoors without the climbing tendencies seen in many Philodendrons.
Philodendron x serratum 'Golden Saw' is toxic if ingested – keep out of reach of pets and children.
How to Care for Philodendron x serratum 'Golden Saw'
- Light: Bright, indirect light keeps the foliage golden; too much sun may bleach it
- Watering: Allow the top 3 – 4 cm of soil to dry between waterings
- Humidity: Prefers 60 – 80%; higher humidity supports stronger leaf development
- Temperature: Ideal range is 20 – 28 °C; avoid cold air or sudden fluctuations
- Soil: Well-draining aroid mix with bark, perlite, and organic matter
- Repotting: Every 1 – 2 years or when roots begin to coil at the base
- Fertilising: Feed monthly with a complete, balanced liquid fertiliser
- Propagation: Through basal division or stem cuttings with active nodes
- Hydroponics: Can adapt to semi-hydroponics if kept in high humidity
- Pruning: Remove older leaves to maintain form or shape the plant’s base
Common Issues with Philodendron x serratum 'Golden Saw'
- Leaf browning: May occur with low humidity or excess direct light
- Yellow leaves: Often a result of overwatering – check drainage
- Stunted growth: Usually due to root crowding or poor nutrition
- Mealybugs or scale: Check base of leaves and treat early with neem or insecticidal soap
- Fungus gnats: Let topsoil dry slightly between waterings and improve airflow
Extra Notes for Growing Philodendron x serratum 'Golden Saw'
This variety maintains a clean, upright shape without support, making it ideal for pots where vertical space is limited but foliage impact is wanted. 'Golden Saw' responds well to stable light and moisture routines, and its colour becomes more vivid in bright, indirect conditions. Recreating warm rainforest conditions – high humidity, airflow, and steady temperatures – will help it thrive and retain its architectural shape.
Etymology and Botanical Naming of Philodendron x serratum
Philodendron comes from Greek “philo” (love) and “dendron” (tree), referring to the climbing habit in many species. The name serratum refers to the saw-like edges of the leaves. The cultivar name 'Golden Saw' (also known as 'Gergaji Golden' ) highlights both the golden leaf colour and jagged outline of this hybrid’s foliage.

Right from the start, I was drawn in by the prologue!!!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Queen of Roses (Blood of a Fae #1) by Briar Boleyn
Genre General Fiction ( Adult), Romance, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Romance
“More primordial than the stars. My name was on his lips as he promised unspeakable darkness to any who came between us.”
Right from the start, I was drawn in by the prologue!!!
I’m a big fan of “touch her, and you die” vibes, but I mean, what’s also not to love about a unique Arthurian retelling with gender twists, a treacherous royal court, a dangerous quest, magical Fae & mystical monsters, entwined with a bit of spice!
Morgan, Princess of Pendrath and true heir to the throne has spent most of her life dimming her light to feel safe and to make others comfortable. She is treated as an outcast in the court and repressed by her family due to the blood of the Fae within her and forced to join the Temple of the Three as a priestess in training to one day replace Merlin.
Her brother, King Arthur, who reminds me of Joffrey from Game of Thrones, later tells her that he has other plans and offers her a choice of the Temple or to marry her off for political gain, unless… that is, she can journey through the great unknown and return with a long-lost fae weapon with enchanted powers known as Excalibur.
Her quest begins with a roguish crew that includes the mysterious, arrogant, and heart-tuggingly handsome Captain of the Royal Guard, Kairos Draven, whom she can’t decide if she wants to stab or indulge in pleasure with.
Along the way are plenty of surprises, mystical creatures, and betrayal, all while Morgan uncovers more of the truth about herself and who she can trust.
This book had intriguing storylines and lovable characters that kept me turning pages and wanting more. I can’t wait to see how it all unfolds and comes together in book 2, Court of Claws, which I just started reading!!

3.5 stars, A little boring to say the least.
Format: Kindle
Wow so I'm not sure where to begin on this one. This was a very different take on the legend of Arthur and Excalibur. This is told from the point of view of Morgan the sister of Arthur. Honestly the first 50% of this book is world building and character building which unfortunately was super boring for me. Morgan to me was a female MC that had a hard time in believing in herself. Sometimes taking too long to understand exactly what was going on around her. Draven was also a different male MC, like I couldn't put my finger on him and what he was all about. It was not until the last 10% of the book did we get some answers on the mystery that is Draven. The other 50% of the book centered around this big journey with everyone having a different motive. We see a spark of magic around this time that had me excited but then we never expanded upon that and what it could mean for the female MC. I feel like I want to read the second book just to see where this goes, but the spice was probably a 2 out of 5. Side characters are ok, Lancelet was fun but I almost felt like I wanted more.

A bewitching retelling of Arthurian legend!
Format: Kindle
In a land where the Fae have nearly become only a legend and those who still posses even a morsel of the blood are few and far between, Morgan finds herself cast aside by most of society due to her rumored half-Fae lineage, including her brother, King Arthur. With the kingdom at the brink of war, Arthur entrusts her with a quest to retrieve a Fae weapon of legendary power: the sword of Perun, Excalibur. Accompanied by men she loathes, Captain Kairos Draven and Ragnar Whitehorn, she embarks on her long and unbeknownst perilous journey, only to find that things she once believed to be myth are in fact very real. With devastating twists, omitted truths, witty banter and fierce action, Queen of Roses leaves you begging to know more about the secrets of Aercanum!
Wow, wow, wow! Going into this story, I did not realize that it was going to be a retelling of Arthurian legend, especially not one with a fantastical twist! The unique spin almost gave me The Witcher vibes and I think adding Fae into the mix was quite interesting. I knew the basics of the legend but after reading this book, it has piqued my interest and makes me want to learn more about it. My attention was snatched as soon as I finished the prologue and I knew that I was going to devour this story. I truly enjoyed the gender swaps and even how Arthur was portrayed as villainous. Morgan’s past and even her parts of her present is absolutely heartbreaking, and I felt for her at times. I can only recall one other book that made me hate characters the way I despised Florian and Arthur, leaving me with my blood boiling and feeling disgusted. Even after finishing the book, Draven is still a mystery to me and I cannot figure out how to feel about him. I guess they just means that the author did an excellent job at conveying each character’s persona! The rich world building and imagery made it easy for me to visualize the places that the group visited along their journey. I am truly engulfed in this story and I cannot wait to see wait fate awaits Morgan and how the Fae will be even more incorporated in the next book!.

Enchanting
Format: Kindle
"Queen of Roses" by Briar Boleyn is a delightful and refreshing reimagining of the classic tale of King Arthur, with a captivating twist that places the spotlight on Morgan, a character who has often been overshadowed in traditional retellings. Boleyn's creative decision to shift the narrative perspective to Morgan breathes new life into the story, offering readers an intriguing and compelling look at the Arthurian world from an entirely different angle.
One of the most commendable aspects of this book is its incorporation of Fae elements, which adds an enchanting layer of magic and mystery to the already familiar Arthurian setting. Boleyn skillfully weaves the world of the Fae into the narrative, creating a captivating backdrop against which the events of the story unfold. This addition not only adds depth to the world-building but also provides ample opportunities for twists and turns that keep readers thoroughly engrossed.
However, while the book boasts numerous strengths, it does have one noticeable flaw: the characterization of Morgan. While it is reasonable to create a flawed and complex protagonist, it appears that at times, Morgan's character becomes overly difficult and hard to relate to. Her persistently negative perception of one of the main male characters, who is a potential love interest, despite his efforts to support and assist her, may come across as somewhat irrational and could test the patience of some readers. Striking a balance between a strong, independent character and one who can recognize genuine support and affection could have enhanced the overall reader experience.
Nonetheless, the allure of "Queen of Roses" lies in its innovative approach to the Arthurian legend and its skillful blending of fantasy elements into a familiar narrative. Boleyn's evocative prose draws readers into a world where magic, destiny, and fate entwine, leaving us eager to uncover the mysteries that unfold within the pages.
