Before You Buy
Species-specific things to check when evaluating a listing
- Ensure there is at least one healthy node present — a leaf without a node cannot produce new growth
- For variegated forms, verify variegation is present on the newest leaf and is not reverting to green
- Check for scale insects on petioles and undersides of leaves — monsteras are susceptible
- Confirm the cutting or plant has been rooted before purchasing, unless you are buying intentionally unrooted — unrooted cuttings require a propagation setup to succeed
Monstera deliciosa 'Burle Marx Flame' Morphology
About Monstera deliciosa 'Burle Marx Flame'
Monstera deliciosa 'Burle Marx Flame' is a slow-growing cultivated variety with narrow, architectural foliage. Named after the Brazilian landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx, it features narrow, flame-like leaves with deep internal fenestrations resembling ribs. Unlike standard Monstera deliciosa, its mature blades are distinctly elongated, with a sculptural habit and clean margins. Its slow growth rate and demand among collectors keep it priced at a premium.

Care Guide
Monstera deliciosa 'Burle Marx Flame' Care Guide & Growing Conditions
Chunky, well-draining mix: 40% potting compost, 30% perlite, 20% orchid bark, 10% worm castings. Monsteras are more tolerant of moisture than most aroids but still need drainage.
Water when the top 3–5 cm is dry. These are forgiving plants but still susceptible to root rot if kept too wet. Water less in winter.
50–70% preferred. More tolerant of typical UK indoor humidity than other aroids, though 60%+ encourages larger leaf development.
Balanced fertiliser at half strength every 2 weeks from spring through summer. Monthly in winter or none at all.
Every 12–18 months when roots emerge from drainage holes. Provide a moss pole or support — climbing encourages larger leaf production.
Common Problems
No fenestrations (splits/holes)
Plant is juvenile, or insufficient light
Ensure bright indirect light and allow the plant to mature — fenestrations develop with age and better conditions
Yellow leaves
Overwatering or nutrient deficiency
Check soil moisture before watering; begin a regular fertilising routine in growing season
Brown patches on leaves
Sunburn or cold water on leaves
Avoid direct sun; water at the base and ensure water is room temperature
The Flame-Leafed Sculptural Wonder
Monstera 'Burle Marx Flame' has a distinctive form. Often believed to be a cultivar of Monstera subpinnata or a closely related undescribed species, its leaves are deeply fenestrated, resembling stylized ribs or flickering flames. Originally collected by Brazilian landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx, its formal taxonomic status remains debated in the International Aroid Society. The deeply pinnatifid structure minimizes wind resistance in the tropical canopy. Because of its thick, coriaceous texture and very slow growth rate, mature specimens are highly prized.
