Monstera Burle Marx Flame
Size: 25cm, comes in nursery pot
The Monstera Burle Marx Flame is a rare climbing Monstera, admired for its narrow, deeply-lobed “flame” leaves, sometimes developing fenestrations as it matures.
The leaves tend to be tougher than some other delicate Monsteras, but still vulnerable to too much sun and inconsistent moisture.
🌱 Light
-
Prefers bright, indirect light (near an east- or south-facing window with filtered light).
-
Tolerates medium light but growth will be slower and fenestration (leaf splits) may be less dramatic.
-
Avoid direct midday sun; it can scorch the leaves.
💧 Watering
-
Water when the top 2–3 inches of soil feel dry.
-
Use a well-draining potting mix and ensure the pot has drainage holes.
-
In spring/summer: water more frequently (roughly once a week).
-
In fall/winter: water less frequently as growth slows.
-
Avoid letting it sit in water — root rot is its biggest risk.
🌡️ Temperature & Humidity
-
Thrives in 65–85°F (18–29°C).
-
Prefers high humidity (60%+). Use a humidifier or pebble tray if your indoor air is dry.
