Care Instructions:
To keep your Burle Marx Albo thriving, follow these simple care guidelines:
- Light: Place in bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid harsh, direct sun to prevent scorching the delicate white patches.
- Water: Water thoroughly, allowing the top 1 to 2 inches of soil to dry out completely between waterings.
- Soil: Use a loose, chunky, and well-draining soil mix (e.g., standard potting soil mixed with perlite and orchid bark).
- Humidity: Thrives in average home humidity (50–60%), but will reward you with larger leaves if placed in a slightly more humid environment.
- Toxicity: Please note that like most philodendrons, the Burle Marx Albo is toxic if ingested and should be kept away from pets and small children
