Monstera ‘Burle Marx Flame’ Houseplant, 6-Inch Pot

Monstera ‘Burle Marx Flame’ develops distinctive green foliage that becomes more deeply divided as the plant matures. Young leaves may be largely whole, while later growth can develop the elongated, flame-like segments that make this plant such a striking indoor specimen. Its climbing habit rewards patient growing in bright, filtered light.

Points of interest

• Green foliage with splits and openings that develop with maturity.
• Juvenile leaves differ from the deeply divided leaves of established specimens.
• A climbing growth habit that benefits from suitable support over time.
• Leaf shape, fenestration, and fullness vary naturally; highly divided mature foliage is not guaranteed at shipping.

Current and mature size

You receive one rooted plant in a 6-inch plastic nursery pot. The source describes representative plants approximately 18–24 inches tall; individual shipping height, leaf size, and fenestration vary. With time and support, it can become a much taller climbing specimen. Its eventual indoor size depends on light, support, root space, and pruning; a cultivar-specific mature height has not been confirmed for this listing.

Optional decorative planters

Consider our White BASEL, Black BASEL, White OSLO, or Black OSLO planters for an indoor display. Decorative planters and climbing supports are sold separately; the plant ships in its nursery pot. Each planter has a 6.3-inch opening, but nursery-pot rims and shapes vary, so check the actual pot's widest diameter and height for fit. BASEL and OSLO have no drainage holes and should be used as removable cover pots, not for direct planting.

Care guide

• Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Filter strong direct sunlight to avoid scorch. Good light supports stronger growth, but fenestration also depends on maturity and growing conditions, not light alone.
• Water: Water when the upper inch or two of mix begins to dry, then drain thoroughly. Keep the root zone lightly moist without constant saturation. Never leave the nursery pot standing in water. Adjust frequency to light, temperature, and growth rather than following a fixed calendar.
• Soil: Use a well-draining, airy houseplant mix and a nursery pot with drainage holes. Shop our Rich Houseplant Soil Blend, sold separately. Additional bark or perlite can improve aeration when needed; avoid compacted, waterlogged soil.
• Feeding: During active spring and summer growth, feed lightly with a slow-release fertilizer. Shop our 2 oz Slow-Release Fertilizer for Houseplants & Succulents, sold separately. Follow its label, avoid overfeeding, and skip feeding while growth is paused or during extreme heat or cold.
• Temperature: Keep in a warm indoor space away from cold drafts, air-conditioning vents, and sudden temperature swings. Protect from frost.
• Humidity: Moderate to higher indoor humidity supports leaf quality. Use a humidifier in dry rooms when needed, maintain gentle airflow, and avoid constantly wet foliage.
• Support and maintenance: Add a stable climbing support as growth lengthens, securing stems loosely rather than tying leaf stalks. Supports are sold separately. Wipe dust from leaves gently, remove fully yellowed foliage with clean tools, and repot when roots crowd the container.
• Cover-pot watering: Lift the nursery pot out of any BASEL or OSLO planter before watering. Let it drain fully, empty collected water, and return it only after drainage stops.

Pet safety: Toxic to pets if chewed or ingested. Keep out of reach of pets and children.
