Monstera Burle Marx Flame
Monstera 'Burle Marx Flame' is a rare and highly coveted cultivar known for its elongated, undulating leaves that emerge bright neon green or yellow before maturing to a deep, glossy green. The foliage develops dramatic splits (fenestrations) as it matures, resembling flickering flames—hence its fiery name. Care Guide Light: Bright, indirect light (tolerates medium light but fenestrations reduce in lower light)Water: Allow the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry between wateringsSoil: Chunky, well-draining aroid mix (orchid bark/perlite/peat)Humidity: 60%+ ideal (will tolerate 50% but thrives in higher humidity)Temperature: 65-85°F (18-29°C); avoid cold draftsGrowth: Moderate to fast with proper care; can climb or trail Note: Toxic if ingested. Leaf size and fenestration increase with maturity and support (e.g., moss pole). Pro Tip: Wipe leaves monthly to prevent dust buildup, which can hinder photosynthesis. Lower humidity may cause slower growth or smaller leaves.
