Philodendron ‘Burle Marx Variegated’, a cultivated form of Philodendron burle marxii from tropical South American lineage, is a compact, spreading aroid known for its elongated, narrow leaves marked with creamy white to yellow variegation. What makes this plant special is its combination of fast, bushy growth and bold, unpredictable variegation, giving it a full, layered look without needing to climb while still having strong collector appeal.
Light supports both variegation and dense growth. Place it in an east or south-facing window where it gets bright, consistent light without direct sun sitting on the leaves. Under grow lights, use 5000K–6500K placed 10–14 inches from the top of the plant. Too little light will cause the variegation to fade and the plant to lean more green, while too much direct sun can burn the lighter sections.
Watering should stay balanced and consistent. Allow the soil to partially dry out between waterings, then water thoroughly and let it drain. Use a mix of succulent soil, perlite, and orchid bark to keep the roots airy. If new leaves are coming in with less variegation or appear more green, it is not getting enough light. If the plant begins to stretch or lose its compact form, it is reaching for more light. Smaller leaves with reduced pattern typically point to lower light rather than watering issues.

I have been looking for an alocasia for a bit. I have order several pkants from Rooted Plant Shop and always received beautiful plants. They are healthy, packed well, and never a disappointment.
All the plants arrived nicely packaged and tucked into their pots with soft cotton blankets 😊

Rooted Plant Shop is amazing! Mel has very beautiful plants and a lot of knowledge. I love her and the shop and the plants. The plants are packed with extreme care and even seat belted in the box. Her knowledge has really saved my plants from over watering to everything lights, bugs, you ask she'll most likely know. Beautiful soul and doesn't ask for a thing. Mainly teaches, about plants! You would think she didn't sell plants cause she will never shove them do your throat. I absolutely adored her, her shop and the knowledge she shares. Please check her out!
I look forward to picking a different plant each month. Sometimes it’s hard though! I’ve been happy with the plants I have received thus far and like knowing the place I get them from cares about what they do and their plants. Highly recommend not only doing a subscription but buying from this site/shop. Incredible service, prompt answers to questions, and Mel is full of knowledge that she shares on social media.
