Monstera Burle Marx Flame

The Monstera Burle Marx Flame is one of the rarest and most captivating Monsteras in cultivation. Native to Brazil, this species is known for its deeply lobed, flame-like leaves that twist and curl with a dramatic, sculptural flair. Unlike the classic Monstera deliciosa, the Burle Marx Flame has narrower foliage with intense fenestrations that look like living flames — making it a true centrepiece for serious collectors.

✔ Why it’s special:

• Exceptionally rare and highly coveted in the aroid community

• Distinctive “flame-shaped” lobes create a sculptural, fiery silhouette

• A living collector’s item that adds drama and rarity to any plant collection

🪴 Care guide:

• Light: Bright, indirect light — too much direct sun can damage delicate lobes.

• Water: Use Soil Ninja Monstera & Philodendron Blend. Keep the soil lightly moist, allowing the top layer to dry slightly before watering.

• Humidity: Thrives in 70%+ humidity — higher levels encourage larger, more dramatic fenestrations.

• Feeding: Apply a balanced houseplant fertiliser monthly in the growing season.

• Growth habit: A climbing Monstera that benefits from a moss or support pole for vertical growth.
