Philodendron burle-marxii is a climbing aroid from wet tropical South America (Colombia to Ecuador and northern Brazil), grown for its narrow, glossy green leaves. Keep it warm and humid with bright indirect light, and water when the top of the mix dries out.
Philodendron burle-marxii is a plant in the genus Philodendron native to South America ranging from Colombia to Ecuador and Brazil. Named by Graziela Barroso after landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx, it is one of over 50 plants that bear his name. This aroid is a climber, and has green narrowly oblong leaves.
The popular cultivar, Philodendron 'Burle Marx," is not to be confused with this species. The cultivar can be distinguished by its shiny, elongated heart-shaped leaves, in contrast to the lanceolate leaves of Philodendron burle-marxii.
