The Monstera 'Burle Marx Flame' is a rare and spectacular variety of the Monstera genus, named in homage to the renowned Brazilian landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx. It is distinguished by its deeply cut, elegant, and elongated foliage, which evokes the dancing flames of a fire — hence the name "Flame".
Its leaves are narrow, elongated, and finely lobed, with a thick, glossy, deep green texture. Its growth habit is both graceful and sculptural, making it a highly sought-after houseplant by collectors. It tolerates partial shade, but the cuts will be less pronounced.
