Philodendron 'Birkin'

Philodendron ‘Birkin’

Philodendron ‘Birkin’ is an upright, clumping houseplant known for its striking cream-and-white pinstripe markings on deep green leaves. New leaves emerge green and gradually develop dramatic striping as they mature, giving you an ever-changing display of foliage throughout the year. No two leaves are the same, making each plant truly unique.

This compact, slow-growing philodendron has a thick, self-supporting stem, creating a structured, almost tree-like shape that looks great on tabletops, shelves, and desks. Its tidy growth habit makes it an excellent choice for smaller spaces or anyone who prefers a low-maintenance plant with a bold look.

Occasionally, Philodendron ‘Birkin’ may produce leaves with hints of red or mixed striping styles, which is a normal and fascinating quirk of this cultivar. The plant is believed to be a rare mutation of Philodendron ‘Rojo Congo’ or a hybrid between two philodendron varieties, adding to its collectible appeal.

Important: Like all philodendrons, this plant is toxic to people and pets if ingested.

Philodendron Basic Care: Easy to Medium

• Water: Can only go 1-2 weeks without water so check on it weekly and add water every time the top two inches of soil dry out.
• Light: Thrives in medium to bright indirect light. Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent foliage scorching.
• Soil/Drainage: This plant benefits from a chunky tropical houseplant mix. Adding orchid bark or perlite can improve drainage.
• Temperature/Humidity: Prefers higher humidity but can adapt to average household humidity and temperatures.
