The Tropical Modernist
*****
Burle Marx Philodendron is easy to care for and easier to love - naturally getting its name from the Greek words philo - ‘love’ and dendron - ‘tree’. Hailing from Central America and the Caribbean, Burle Marx Philodendron holds a special place in the houseplant world, as it is named after the famous Brazilian architect Roberto Burle Marx - the first to include tropical plants in modern homes and landscapes.
