Philodendron Birkin

Philodendron birkin is a gorgeous and rare tropical house plant. In its infancy, its foliage is a vibrant green; however, as it matures, the leaves darken and beautiful contrasting pinstripe-like yellow variegation appears. Unlike most Philodendrons that are known for their stunning veins, the Philodendron grows upright and does not trail. Philodendron birkin is a compact, somewhat slow-growing plant that is perfect for tabletops, desks, or other surfaces.

Plant Care

Philodendron are great plants for beginners. From small heart-shaped leaves of a traditional philodendron, to the large imposing split leaves of a Monstera, almost anyone can find a philodendron they appreciate. These plants have 2 main categories, vining and non-clmibing. When repotting, we recommend using our All Purpose soil mix.

Origin

Unlike most plants, the Philodendron Birkin can not be found in the wild, this is because it is part of a mutation that occured in the Philodenron Rojo Congo.
