    Philodendron Burle Marx variegated is a popular houseplant among plant enthusiasts because of its unique foliage. The leaves of this plant have a beautiful variegation pattern that adds a pop of color and interest to any room. However, some plant owners may find that their Philodendron Burle Marx variegated is not as variegated as they would like it to be. If you are one of these plant owners, don't worry, there are some things you can do to encourage more variegation. In this blog post, we will share three tips on how to make your Philodendron Burle Marx variegated more variegated.

    Give it enough light

    One of the most common reasons why a Philodendron Burle Marx variegated may lose its variegation is due to lack of sunlight. This plant needs bright, indirect light to thrive and maintain its variegation pattern. If your plant is not receiving enough light, it may start to produce leaves that are more green than variegated. Therefore, make sure to place your plant in a spot that receives bright, indirect light for at least 6 hours a day.

    Adjust watering and humidity

    Philodendron Burle Marx variegated prefers to be kept on the moist side but not too wet. Overwatering can lead to root rot, which can cause the plant to decline and lose its variegation. On the other hand, if the plant is too dry, it may also start to lose its variegation. Therefore, make sure to water your plant when the top inch of the soil is dry to the touch. Additionally, this plant thrives in high humidity, so consider using a humidifier or placing a tray of water near the plant to increase the humidity around it.

    Prune the solid green leaves

    If you notice that some leaves on your Philodendron Burle Marx variegated are more green than variegated, it may be beneficial to prune them. Solid green leaves produce more chlorophyll than variegated leaves and can take away from the plant's overall variegation pattern. By removing the solid green leaves, you are allowing the plant to focus its energy on producing more variegated leaves..

    In conclusion, if you want to make your Philodendron Burle Marx variegated more variegated, make sure to give it enough light, adjust its watering and humidity, and prune the solid green leaves. Remember that variegation can vary from leaf to leaf, and not every leaf will be perfectly variegated. However, by following these tips, you can encourage your plant to produce more variegated leaves, which will enhance its beauty and make it stand out in any room
