Description
Philodendron Birkin is a wonderful houseplant whose appeal can be pinned on the generous creamy white streakiness thats overlaid on dark green leaves. The best part No pattern is exactly the same, so each leaf sports its own look. Philodendron Birkin takes its time to grow, so no worries about it quickly outgrowing its spot or crowding out neighbors. Yet, with time, it can reach 3 ft. Tall. Birkin is a self-heading philodendron (meaning it does not climb and is self supporting).Birkin thrives in medium to bright, indirect light, so near windows but not so close for direct rays. Such light will bring out the patterns that make Birkin a standout houseplant. This is where sheer curtains are your friend, softening the impression of light that would otherwise be too strong. Birkin wont be its same festive, streaky self in low light. This philodendron is no water hog. Aim for slightly moist soil, allowing the top couple of inches to go dry or just about before watering again. Prefers average to above-average relative h umidity. If your space has particularly dry air, boost humidity by grouping Birkin with other houseplants. Consider a small humidifier or large pebble tray. Although the stripey variegation is relatively stable, you might find yours producing some unexpected colors or patterns. All green, slight variegation, full cream or even some pink. You never know for sure what youre going to get with each new leaf, but thats what makes it so fun.
