Philodendron 'Burle Marx' variegata

The Variegated Philodendron ‘Burle Marx’ features eye popping oblong leaves with impressive variegation that thrives in bright, indirect light. To keep it happy as can be, make sure it gets enough light to maintain its vibrant colors. Avoid direct sun, though, to prevent burning. Like other philodendrons, keep its soil moist and provide higher humidity for optimal growth. This climbing vine benefits from a moss pole to support its upward journey, making it a beautiful and manageable addition to any plant collection.
