Monstera 'Burle Marx Flame' — rare cultivar with deeply fenestrated and lobed flame-shaped leaves. Named after Brazilian architect Roberto Burle Marx. Humidity 60-80%, bright indirect light, 18-27°C.
Approx height (including pot): 20 cm
Country of origin: Denmark
Monstera 'Burle Marx Flame' is a rare and spectacular cultivar, named in honor of the famous Brazilian landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx, revolutionary of modern tropical design. Leaves of this plant are deeply perforated and fenestrated, reminiscent of vegetal fire flames dancing in wind — dramatically divided into asymmetric lobes with characteristic holes.
Leaf shape is almost sculptural: each mature leaf presents fenestrations (holes) starting from leaf edge toward center, together with deeply cut lobes creating "frozen flame" appearance. Green is intense and glossy, slightly leathery surface catches light elegantly.
Like all Monsteras, climbing plant that BENEFITS greatly from moss pole for developing large fenestrated leaves. Without support, leaves remain smaller and juvenile. Distinct choice for collectors seeking atypical Monsteras.
Monstera 'Burle Marx Flame' is a modern species or cultivar, disputed origin (probably Monstera deliciosa or hybrid). Name honors Roberto Burle Marx. Araceae family.
Deeply fenestrated and lobed leaves, flame appearance. Intense glossy green. 15-30 cm at maturity with support.
Unique sculptural flame shape. Rare cultivar honoring a Brazilian landscape design genius.

No. Monstera 'Burle Marx Flame' is a trade name used for a rare variety with narrow leaves. There is no formal botanical description linking it to a specific species.
Yes, the leaves develop deep perforations and can take on a very sculptural appearance as they mature.
Strong, indirect light. In low light, fenestrations become reduced or absent.
It is moderately demanding. It needs aerated substrate, moderate humidity, and good light.
The growth rate is moderate. Growth is significantly better when the plant has vertical support.
No. Direct sunlight can burn the leaves.
Like all plants in the Araceae family, it is considered toxic if ingested.
Yes, vertical support helps mature leaves develop better.
Monstera prefers bright indirect light, moderate watering and temperatures between 18-27°C (65-80°F). Provide well-draining substrate and a climbing support for optimal growth.
Water your Monstera when the top layer of soil (3-5 cm) has dried out. In summer, this usually means once a week, and in winter every 10-14 days. Avoid standing water.
Yes, Monstera contains calcium oxalate crystals that are toxic to dogs, cats and humans if ingested. It can cause oral and stomach irritation.
Fenestration appears on mature leaves, usually after 2-3 years. Provide bright indirect light, a climbing support and regular fertilization to encourage fenestrated leaf production.
Monstera can be propagated through stem cuttings with at least one node and an aerial root. Place the cutting in water or moist sphagnum moss and wait 2-4 weeks.
Monstera 'Burle Marx Flame' is a rare Monstera cultivar named after the famous Brazilian landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx. It stands out with its elongated, wavy leaves with a dramatic shape reminiscent of a flame. The rough texture and pronounced veins give it a unique sculptural appearance.
Monstera 'Burle Marx Flame' needs bright indirect light, well-draining and airy substrate, and watering when the top 2-3 cm of substrate have dried out. Ideal temperature is 18-27°C with 60-80% humidity. A climbing support (moss pole) will stimulate the production of larger, more mature leaves.
Monstera 'Burle Marx Flame' can develop fenestrations (holes in leaves) as the plant matures, but its main attraction is the elongated, wavy leaf shape. A climbing support and bright indirect light accelerate maturation and can stimulate the appearance of fenestrations.
Indoors, Monstera 'Burle Marx Flame' can reach 1-2 meters in height on a climbing support. Mature leaves can exceed 30 cm in length. Growth is moderate to fast under optimal conditions, with new leaves appearing regularly during the warm season if the plant receives sufficient light and nutrients.
Yes, like all Monstera species, 'Burle Marx Flame' contains calcium oxalates that are toxic to dogs, cats, and other pets. Ingestion can cause oral irritation, excessive drooling, difficulty swallowing, and gastric discomfort. Place the plant in a location inaccessible to animals.
