Philodendron Birkin is a variegated Philodendron that has a unique solid green foliage, accompanied with stunning white contrasting thin stripes. It is perfect to add to your aroid collection!

Young plants are solid green and will eventually develop a white lined variegation on the leaves as it matures. Once Philodendron Birkin matures, the new leaves appear white and slowly transition into green with white stripes. Adequate lighting also contributes to the development of the white lined variegation on Philodendron Birkin.

Philodendron Birkin is a spontaneous chimeric mutation of the most unlikely plant: Rojo Congo. It was separated off the mother plant and propagated and seemed to be relatively stable. There have been some very interesting reversions happening with this plant. Some start making all green leaves, others all white leaves. Some Philodendron Birkin will throw a bona fide Rojo Congo red or green and totally different shaped leaf every now and then, others have produced leaves that are variegated – like the splashed portion of a variegated Monstera – instead of the linear variegation. Also, there have been leaves that have cream/green/white coloration.

An example picture gives a trustworthy image of the plant with good care. The plant at the example picture is not the plant that will be delivered. This is an example, so variations are possible. The eventually delivered plant may differ in for example size, number of flower branches, etc.

Light

Philodendrons thrive in medium to bright indirect light, but will tolerate darker spots as well.

Soil

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as our Aroid Potting Mix, ideally containing some coco coir, bark and perlite. You can also grow Philodendrons in soil-less mixes like sphagnum moss and perlite or hydroponics.

Water

Philodendrons like their soil to dry between waterings. Water when the top 3cm of soil are totally dry to the touch.

Humidity

Most Philodendron, especially the Erubesecens varieties, will thrive in average humidity. However, some of the more tropical and velvety species will require higher humidity to survive.

Toxicity

All Philodendron are toxic to humans and animals if ingested.
