Philodendron Birkin Care Guide - EdenOnEarthPlantCo

Philodendron Birkin

Philodendron Birkin is prized for its dark green leaves adorned with crisp white pinstripes. I've cultivated these to 12 inches tall, ensuring strong stems and striking variegation.

Light Requirements

Bright, indirect light is essential to maintain the variegation. Too little light causes the stripes to fade.

Watering

Allow the top inch of soil to dry before watering thoroughly. Avoid letting the plant sit in water.

Soil

A well draining mix with peat, perlite, and coco coir works well. Good drainage prevents root issues.

Humidity and Temperature

Moderate humidity keeps the leaves healthy. Mist occasionally if your home is dry.

Growth Habits

Birkin grows slowly and stays relatively compact. Rotate it regularly for symmetrical growth.

Pet Safety

Birkin is toxic if ingested by pets or children.

My Personal Tip

Provide consistent light and do not over fertilize; too much fertilizer can burn the sensitive roots.
