The Monstera Burle Marx Flame is an ultra-rare aroid prized for its deeply cut, flame-like leaves that give it a dramatic and sculptural look. Named after the renowned Brazilian landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx, this plant stands out as a true collector’s piece. Its narrow, elongated foliage develops intricate fenestrations as it matures, creating a striking tropical display indoors or in greenhouse collections. With its slow-growing but highly ornamental habit, it’s considered one of the crown jewels of the Monstera family.
