Philodendron Burle Marx

PLANT INFO

This Philodendron, from the Araceae family, is a low growing shrub. The leaves are heart-shaped but narrow. The Philodendron Burle Marx’s care is like most other Philodendrons. They need well-draining soil and bright indirect light. And their soil should always be moist but never drenched.

Like most Philodendron plants, the leaves are also glossy and full of texture. But the stems are a fun red color. They’ve been popular at least as early as the Victorian era, according to the University of Vermont. This is because these plants are so easy to both grow and propagate.

They’re also loved due to their ability to remove toxins from the air around them. The Philodendron Burle Marx plant isn’t an exception. People love this Philodendron for its’ easy nature and small demeanor.

The Philodendron Burle Marx plant is named after Roberto Burle Marx. Burle Marx was the first architect to use native plants in modern landscape designs.
