Philodendron imbe – Burle Marx “Cava” (Medium)

“Cava” is a Philodendron Burle Marx, a descendant of OG Sono. Native to Brazil and named after the visionary artist and landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx, this philodendron captures the same harmony of movement and form found in his designs. Its growth pattern is expressive yet balanced—arching stems and glossy leaves that seem to flow like brushstrokes across a canvas of light.

I named it “Cava” because it feels celebratory, lively, and quietly refined—much like a shared glass of sparkling wine. Though modest in size, it carries presence. Each leaf emerges with a slow, unfolding rhythm, adding grace and depth to its surroundings. It’s a plant that reminds me to appreciate the subtler forms of joy—growth that’s deliberate, elegant, and deeply rooted.
