Philodendron burle-marxii, or Brekele's plant, is a plant in the genus Philodendron native to South America, from Colombia to Ecuador and Brazil. Named after landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx, it is one of over 50 plants named after him. This aroid is a climber and has heart-shaped, green leaves.

The required conditions include a temperature of 18–24 degrees Celsius, light intensity of 30–50%, and air humidity of 50–60%. It is thermogenic and emits a sweet smell. Factors like high temperature can result in the leaves becoming paler and losing color. In terms of growth habit, philodendron consists of two types: terrestrial plants (land-based) and epiphytes (plants that grow on other plants). Although it attaches to a host, the philodendron does not harm the host plant.

• Root (Akar) Some roots are in the soil, and some grow above the ground as aerial roots (or breathing roots). Aerial roots are often found on vining plant types.

• Stem (Batang) The stem has diverse shapes and colors. The shape is generally round, with varying diameters (depending on the plant's age). The stem color differs at each stage of growth. Some are green when young and slightly grayish when mature, while others are dark green when young and reddish-green when mature.

• Leaves (Daun) The leaf shape is also attractive and diverse, ranging from heart-shaped, lanceolate, lobed lanceolate, and broadly elongated. Generally, the leaves of this plant have many distinct lobes.

• Flower (Bunga) The flower type is the same as the flowers on anthurium and aglaonema plants. The seeds of this plant are very rarely found because the pollination process is seldom observed.

• Seed (Biji) (No specific description provided, as seeds are rare.)

• Propagation is done generatively (seeds) and vegetatively (stem cuttings/tuber-like base).

Philodendron is fundamentally poisonous and should not be consumed; therefore, it needs to be kept out of reach of children. However, if managed carefully, philodendron can be utilized for treatment. Its benefits can help reduce dry skin and reduce the incidence of colds, sore throats, and dry coughs. Research has also shown that higher indoor humidity can help reduce the survival and transmission of the flu virus.

• The toxic compound in Philodendrons is calcium oxalate, a chemical that forms envelope-like crystals known in plants as raphides.
