Philodendron 'Birkin'
It's easy to see why this plant is a favorite amongst plant collectors and new plant parents alike. The beautiful variegated leaves have the appearance of a hand-painted art piece! As the plant matures the delicate cream pinstripes become more pronounced with each leaf.
To maintain the white-yellow variegation consistent bright lighting is required. This Philodendron is self-heading thus it does not require staking or a climbing structure.

Overall Height Including Grow Pot: 10-18" depending on grow pot size.
Plant Care Level: Easy
Key Benefits
The more desire for brighter variegation, the stronger the light needs to be.
Philodendron ‘Birkin’ Care Tips
How to care for information:
- Prefers bright, indirect light or filtered bright light.
- Follow a monthly fertilizing schedule when the plant is actively growing. In most cases, this is in the spring and summer. Use a balanced fertilizer - this means a ratio of NPK that is all the same. Ex: 10-10-10.

Is the Philodendron ‘Birkin’ the right plant for me?
Philodendron plants are fairly easy to care for. They prefer the top 2” of the soil to dry in between watering as they are quite susceptible to stem rot. Place your plant in a location with bright, indirect light or filtered bright light and watch it grow!
The large leaves are absolutely stunning but need regular dusting to ensure they can photosynthesize at their optimal levels.
Pet Friendly: Unfortunately, Philodendrons are not pet-friendly.
Location Suggestions: Living Room, Bedroom
