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!

I had to wait until today to offer my review because my shipment didn’t come until today. The plants(3) were well secure in the shipping box. Great idea to tape all the plants to the box so they won’t shift. The plants themselves were well wrapped for their safety. The plants arrived in good shape.

Shipping a Christmas Cactus

I was leery of shipping this plant, however it arrived in perfect condition, travelling from Michigan to California, and was even blooming when it arrived! I am so pleased with this as it was a gift for my niece. I will happily ship a plant from The Rooted Plant Shop again!
