Monstera ‘Burle Marx Flame’

Monstera ‘Burle Marx Flame’ is an exceptional collector plant prized for its distinctive foliage and dramatic transformation as it matures. Juvenile plants produce narrow, elongated leaves with gently rippled edges, while mature specimens develop increasingly deep divisions that create the striking flame-like silhouette for which this Monstera is renowned.

The thick, leathery green foliage gives the plant a bold, sculptural presence, becoming increasingly impressive with each stage of maturity. Although relatively slow growing compared with many commonly cultivated Monsteras, its gradual development is part of its appeal, with every new leaf revealing more of the characteristic form collectors seek.

A sturdy climbing support allows the aerial roots to attach and encourages stronger growth, larger leaves and more mature foliage. Rare, architectural and unmistakable once established, Monstera ‘Burle Marx Flame’ is a true statement plant for collectors looking to add one of the most distinctive Monsteras to their collection.
