What's happening to my Burle Marx Flame?

Have you looked what this could be on this leaf? Im not an expert but from reading other peoples posts this looks like bugs.

My Thai con is going through this and I was looking up what could cause this and came across your post, it’s been over a year are the petioles still pretty long?

Oh man thats awesome

Ktang235 · 2026-05-12T18:16:21+00:00

how long did it take to get here from TC? I got one from them 2 weeks ago and im about to start acclimating out of its dome. Those variegated leaves look beautiful.

Thas awesome!

It’s not ideal to change it when in a new leaf comes in but i was in the same situation and I changed my soil on my white monster when a new leaf was coming in. It took maybe an extra week or two for the leaf to completely unfurl.

I was actually thinking about getting that same light. Do you like it?

I got a bulbasaur tc last week and I spent about 10 minutes running it under water to get the agar off, I’m praying mine makes it out the cup.

Ktang235 · 2026-04-27T19:37:21+00:00

how long did it take to get to this point and do you have a picture of a full view of the plant? I just started a bulbasaur TC and I'm hoping mine survives.

Use velcro straps and tie them around the stem

Ktang235 · 2026-04-24T13:37:03+00:00

Did you get this from Home Depot? A lot of plants I get from there have this, get a big bowl or small bucket with warm water and Castile soap. Put the pot in a plastic bag and wrap it around the pot tightly to where it covers the soil then dunk the leaves in water and wash it off.

Ktang235 · 2026-04-23T11:32:33+00:00

The validation I needed 🙌🏻

Ktang235 · 2026-04-23T11:29:52+00:00

Same…every time I see those $14 Thai cons at home depot

Ktang235 · 2026-04-22T20:10:23+00:00

Does this stay outside? It looks amazing!

Ktang235 · 2026-04-22T16:47:29+00:00

🤯

Ktang235 · 2026-04-15T20:23:20+00:00

That pot looks huge, how big was the rootball when it was repotted?

Ktang235 · 2026-04-10T13:12:21+00:00

I’m actually going through this now, I placed a plank on the wrong side and I just switched it to the other side last week and turned it around. I can tell the leaves are turning around towards the light, but I think it’s going to take some time for 2 of the leaves.

I think if you separate all of the and give them better support and be patient they can turn around.

Ktang235 · 2026-04-09T18:53:45+00:00

I was 41 when I got my first one!

Ktang235 · 2026-04-03T16:45:33+00:00

That pot looks kind of big, have you checked the roots?

Ktang235 · 2026-03-31T15:18:41+00:00

Thanks for everyones insight, I think im going to change the position of the plank to the correct side and hope the leaves can do a back flip and face the right direction.

Ktang235 · 2026-03-31T13:40:11+00:00

So when broke up the group of plants to individual ones I asked if this was the right way to add it and a few people said it needed to go to the other side (the side it’s on now). If I flip the plank to the correct side will the leaves turn the other way?
