Named after the renowned landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx, this plant is as beautiful as it is easy to care for, making it a standout in any collection.

Key Features:

Growth: A moderate grower, with new leaves emerging regularly in the right conditions, each showing unique variegation patterns.

Pet Friendliness:

The Philodendron Burle Marx Variegata is not pet-friendly. It contains calcium oxalates, which can be toxic to cats, dogs, and other pets if ingested. Keep it safely out of reach of pets and children.

Care Instructions:

Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light, which helps enhance its beautiful variegation. It can tolerate lower light, but the variegation may fade. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Watering: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering and ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot.

Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity (50% or higher). Use a humidifier or place the plant near other tropical plants to maintain moisture.

Temperature: Ideal temperatures range between 18–27°C. Avoid drafts and temperatures below 13°C.

Soil: Use a well-draining, airy potting mix, such as a blend of peat, perlite, and orchid bark to support healthy root development.

Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer. Reduce feeding during fall and winter.

Pruning: Trim any yellowing or damaged leaves to maintain its vibrant appearance and encourage fresh growth.
