Philodendron Birkin

Philodendron Birkin is a stunning plant varieties that develops pure white pinstripes on its foliage, growing evermore variegated as the plant matures. Their unique variation shifts from leaf to leaf, and it’s not uncommon to notice occasional splashes of pink or light red on new leaves as they unfurl. They perform best in bright, indirect light and love a moisture-rich environment and well-hydrated soil in pot with proper drainage.

Care

Light: Philodendrons do well in a range of light conditions. They prefer moderate to bright indirect light, but can tolerate shadier lighting conditions as well. Avoid direct sunight.

Water: Keep the soil moist at all times. Allow the top of the soil to dry out slightly before re-watering. Will tolerate some degree of drought better than having its roots too wet.

Temperature/Humidity: Average to warm household temperatures from 18-28°C and short periods down to 12°C at an absolute push. Avoid cold draughts. Comfortable in average household humidity.

Soil/Repotting: Well draining, nutrient rich potting soil.

Care Tips: Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust. Please note, leaves can develop yellow patches after a change in temperature or environment. These can be removed at the base of the stem if required
