The Burle Marx philodendron (Philodendron Burle Marx) is a beautiful, low-maintenance plant known for its striking, elongated, and glossy green leaves. Here's how you can care for it:
1. Light:
- Bright, indirect light is best. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, it will grow more slowly and its leaves may become smaller. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
2. Watering:
- Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. These plants prefer moderate moisture. Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.
- Reduce watering in the winter when the plant is not actively growing.
3. Humidity:
- The Burle Marx philodendron appreciates higher humidity, but it’s relatively tolerant of normal household humidity. To boost humidity, you can mist the plant occasionally, place it on a humidity tray, or use a humidifier if the air is very dry.
4. Temperature:
- Warm temperatures are ideal (65–80°F or 18–27°C). Avoid cold drafts or temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
5. Soil:
- A well-draining, peat-based potting mix works best. A mix for aroids or a blend of potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark is great for promoting drainage.
6. Fertilizing:
- Fertilize with a balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) every 4-6 weeks. In the fall and winter, you can reduce fertilization since the plant's growth slows down.
7. Pruning:
- Regular pruning helps maintain a tidy shape. Trim any leggy or dead stems to encourage new growth. You can also propagate cuttings in water or soil.
8. Repotting:
- Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant outgrows its pot. Look for signs like roots growing out of the drainage holes or the plant becoming top-heavy.
9. Pests:
- Watch for pests like spider mites, aphids, or mealybugs. If you notice any, treat with insecticidal soap or wipe the leaves with a damp cloth.
This is a hardy and forgiving plant, making it a good choice for both beginners and experienced plant owners. With the right care, it can thrive and grow into a stunning addition to your home!

from 264 reviewsI am loving my Monstera Swiss Cheese! It arrived in perfect condition - healthy, vibrant, and full of character. The leaves already have that iconic fenestration, and it's thriving in its new spot.
You can tell this plant was cared for before it even got to me,. I appreciate the thoughtful packaging and quick delivery. Definitely one of my new favorites in my collection.

I absolutely love my Schefflera Variegated (Umbrella Plant)! It arrived healthy, vibrant, and has already become a favorite among my houseplants. The variegation is beautiful, and it's adjusting well to its new home.
Appreciate the care you put into packaging and shipping - it really shows. I'll definitely be ordering from The Rooted Plant Shop again! 💚

That sale is just a bonus for her! Plants are her life, passion and dream along with moose and Jax! You would truly be supporting someone whom is real, caring and down to earth! Let’s not forget to mention the outstanding plants that are in her care! 10/10 recommend! I adore Mel !

I received my plants very well packed and they are doing wonderfully!😁
I love this little plant. As Mel says, it’s dramatic! It will drop to the tabletop when she is thirsty. Give her some water and watch her perk right up. She is very forgiving. I would recommend it for other beginners as well.
