Monstera 'Burle Marx Flame' is one of the rarest and most distinctive Monsteras in cultivation. Its deeply lobed, narrowly cut leaves are unlike any other in the genus: each leaf divides almost to the midrib, creating a dramatic, flame-like silhouette that gives the plant its name. Fast-growing when conditions are right and vigorous as a climber, it will develop increasingly dramatic foliage when given a support to climb.

Origins
Monstera 'Burle Marx Flame' has an unusual and somewhat mysterious origin. It is named in honour of Roberto Burle Marx, the influential Brazilian modernist landscape architect known for incorporating native tropical plants into his landmark designs, and is believed to have come originally from his personal plant collection in Rio de Janeiro. Its precise wild origin remains uncertain.

Soil and Substrate
As a hemiepiphyte, Monstera 'Burle Marx Flame' needs an open, airy substrate that allows its roots to breathe between waterings. Our Monstera and Philodendron Premium Potting Mix is peat-free, hand-blended in Yorkshire, and formulated for exactly this type of vigorous climbing aroid: structured for drainage and aeration, with worm castings to support healthy growth. It is what we use across our Monstera range.
