About Burle Marx Variegata

Fossils show Philodendrons growing as far back as 30 million years ago when South America was still connected to Antarctica! ❄️

A few weeks ago I chopped my #philodendronburlemarxvariegata…She was growing great, but only had one growth point. Ion like dat 😂 so chop chop! And now she has 4 new growth points! I’m so excited 🥰 it’s always a risk, but I’m super proud of Mikasa 💚💛💚💛 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #ChopAndProp #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #NewLeafAlert #Philodendron #variegatedplants #PhiloFlock #GregGang #Greggers #PLANTMAFIA

I also never know what direction she wants to grow towards (in case you can’t tell) but I can’t complain since she just keeps getting more and more…voluptuous..if you will 😂 😂 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #Philodendron #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #GregGang #TheThread #brunchataudreys #PlantTherapy

The excitement and pain of a fully variegated leaf 💔 they’re so cool but knowing you’ll have to cut them off eventually is heartbreaking
