Shoppers also type Burl Marx. I grow these starters in Lealman and St. Petersburg, Florida, and I only ship plants with tight roots and clean leaves that already show cream or yellow splash on green.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eBotanically it is Philodendron burle-marxii variegata, named for Brazilian landscape designer Roberto Burle Marx. The glossy oblong leaves carry random lime, cream, and yellow markings. No two leaves match. That is the point of this plant. Low light fades the pattern. Midday sun burns the pale tissue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eBright indirect light. East window or a few feet back from south or west glass. Water when the top inch or two feels dry and let it drain. Overwatering is what knocks out most small philodendrons in 3 inch pots after shipping. Chunky aroid mix with bark and perlite. Keep it near 65 to 85 F. Pinellas, Tampa, Clearwater, and Largo homes already have the heat. Dry AC air is the watch out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThis is not Burle Marx Fantasy. Fantasy is the slower velvet leaf plant. This listing is the splashy variegated Burle Marx starter. It stays compact in a 3 inch pot now and can climb later if you add a moss pole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eNot pet safe. Philodendrons contain calcium oxalate crystals. Keep it away from cats, dogs, and kids who chew plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eI have grown tropical houseplants here for 13 years. St. Pete area pickup when listed.

Burl Marx is a common search spelling. The accepted name is Burle Marx, after Roberto Burle Marx.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I care for a variegated Burle Marx in a 3 inch pot?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBright indirect light, chunky aroid mix, and water only when the top inch or two feels dry. Three inch pots dry faster than large pots, so check them often and do not jump it into a huge container.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs variegated Burle Marx the same as Burle Marx Fantasy?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. This listing is the splashy cream and yellow variegated Burle Marx. Fantasy has darker, velvety leaves and grows slower. We keep those as separate plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a variegated Burle Marx philodendron pet safe?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Like other philodendrons, it has calcium oxalate crystals and can irritate the mouth and stomach if chewed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere can I buy a small variegated Burle Marx near St. Petersburg, Florida?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMonstera Houseplants grows and packs these in the Lealman \/ St. Pete area.

Patterns shift. Strong bright indirect light and a healthy green-to-cream balance give you the best chance of keeping the color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen should I repot this 3 inch plant?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen roots circle the pot or water runs straight through.
