Monstera 'Burle Marx Flame'

$14.99
Title
A highly coveted architectural aroid prized for its bizarre, skeleton-like mature foliage. Originally collected by the legendary Brazilian landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx, this plant features thick, leathery, deep green leaves that develop deep, dramatic indentations. As the plant matures, the tissue splits almost completely back to the central midrib, making the foliage closely resemble a stylized green flame or a ribcage rather than a typical houseplant leaf.

Spider Mites

What To Look For: Very fine webbing under leaves or between stems and leaves (especially in dry indoor air). Leaves may appear stippled (tiny yellow or white dots) or dusty; they may turn yellow, brown or drop. When you tap a leaf onto white paper, you might see tiny moving specks. (Often too small to see easily)

How To Treat: Increase humidity around the plant (since mites thrive in dry air). Spray plant thoroughly (both sides of leaves) with insecticidal soap or a miticide/plant-safe oil; repeat every few days. In heavy infestations, consider removing severely affected sections; isolate the plant.
