Monstera Burle Marx Flame is a climbing Monstera named in honor of Brazilian landscape designer Roberto Burle Marx. Mature leaves become deeply lobed into a flame-like shape, quite unlike the familiar Swiss Cheese leaf. Its exact species identity is still debated, and it is traded under this name. This is an XL specimen.
Note: this is an established, potted plant shipped in its nursery pot. Photos show a representative specimen — leaf count, size and variegation vary naturally from plant to plant.
Care tip: Leaf shape changes dramatically with maturity — a moss pole and bright, indirect light are what push this plant into its signature flame-shaped leaves.
Give it bright, indirect light, a chunky mix of bark, perlite and coir, and water once the top couple of inches have dried. A moss pole encourages larger, more fenestrated leaves as the plant matures. Keep white or cream sections out of direct sun, which browns them quickly.
One of the most dramatic mature-leaf transformations in the genus — a must-have for Monstera collectors.
