The Philodendron burle marx has one of the most unique growth styles I have ever seen. My assumption is that this is from some kind of mutation that has stabilized and allows this plant to just keep splitting and putting out additional growth points. The burle marx also comes variegated which is pretty cool!

Can’t believe this went up just as I’m trying my hardest to save my crappy cutting 😭
POZDRAWIAM 👍👍👍👍👍👍💪💪😊😊
My green Burle Marx is a beast. It’s grown so big it’s out of control. My variegated one is very slow growing but it’s so pretty. I’m enjoying watching them grow.
Has any one gotten transparent leaves out of your butler max?
oh hey i have this one it does really well!! it looks really wierd (mine is quite a bit taller but still has the whacky nodes)
Philodendron selloum, usually sold as “Hope,” and its close relative, sold as Xanadu, also can be found exhibiting the same intense crowded growth habit. There are probably many more.
It is possibly the result of heavy grower fertilization and optimal growing conditions.
😺✌️
This plant isn't a GMO plant is it? I'm curious though, would someone be willing to send me a cutting or small potting? I would love to see how it grows.
Yes mine is growing crazy like this too , you can really propagate easily !
My lemon lime philo (the upright type) grows like this too, it's wild!
We need another giant pothos update please!!!!!
As a landscape architect this was a must have plant in my collection
Mine is growing tall though not getting the spherical growth as much
When is the propagation video coming ?
Time to find me one 😁
I also love mine.Its variegated with a lot of green leaves as well. Thinking of trimming it down but agree with all those nodes. Really unique and also easy going
I am too old for this stuff. I have this capsicum, Purple Tiger aka Trifetti. It has leaves with white, purple, bright green, green and a bit black, if in full sun. Oh maybe some shades of white going into the cream/yellow. My eyes are CONFUSED!!! And why do you call something with 7 colored leaved TRI–fetti?!
It’s strange because my Burle Marx doesn’t have as much growth points and it isn’t that compact. I’ve always given it plenty of light but it tends to grow upwards and each leaf is somewhat spaced out
Mine is wild too and when a green life come out i chop it out i sold a big cutting with lots of roots for 40 buck
Burlemarx have similar plant growth with Philodendron temptation and Philodendron squamiferum
Wishing you a Happy Holidays. 🎄
Thanks for sharing
Nice video.
The song 🎵 in the background is awesome 👌
It is a crazy growing plant! I have one that’s grown long and it’s challenging to train or manage on a pole.
Such an epic plant
The rat king!
thanks for this post. reminds me to repot my variegated Burle Marx
I've seen some variation of squamiferum with the same compact and knobby internodal space. Actually, I own one, so I can say that there has been internodes with confusingly numerous growth points, which is why I have difficulty propogating it
I got mine expecting it to be more of a bushy plant, but though it has that same growth pattern you are seeing it clearly wanted something to climb.
I added a moss pole a few months ago and it is thriving! I still see at least one new growth point (usually 2 or 3) next to every new leaf, and it rooted into the moss pole easily.
Definitely one of my unexpected favorites! It looks so nice with the moss pole and stays bushy and full.
I put mine on a moss pole, the weird growing pattern gets even weirder ans easier to see. The plant produced crazy amount of root growth and climbed everywhere. The pole is very bushy thanks to the unic pattern of growth.
Love the video cool plant
