Philodendron 'Birkin'

Philodendron 'Birkin' is an eye-catching houseplant hailing from the rainforests of South America. The leaves of this unique variety are glossy and green, accented by stunning variegation - a pattern of pinstriped lines that appear almost painted on. The pattern starts off as a light creamy color and darkens to a bright white as the plant matures. As the leaves unfurl, they reveal their stunning variegation which is sure to make this plant a standout in any collection. With a compact growth habit, the 'Birkin' typically reaches about 2-3 feet in height and width, making it an excellent choice for smaller spaces. However, with the right care and conditions, it has the potential to grow larger. When potted, its leaves can create a dense canopy of foliage, providing a touch of tropical lushness to any indoor setting. It can also be trained to climb up a moss pole or trellis, which allows the plant to reach its full potential in terms of size and leaf development. Philodendron 'Birkin' is a relatively easy-going plant, requiring minimal care and able to tolerate a variety of light conditions, though it prefers bright, indirect light. It's also an adaptable houseplant, able to thrive in both high and low humidity environments, although it prefers a more humid environment which is more similar to its native rainforest habitat. One of the unique features of the 'Birkin' is its growth pattern. New leaves form within a sheath, which dries out and falls off the plant once the leaf has developed. This process can often be mistaken for a problem with the plant, but it's a completely normal part of its growth cycle. Adding to its appeal, the 'Birkin' is also known to be a relatively fast grower, especially during the warmer months. This makes it a rewarding plant to care for, as you'll be able to witness its growth and development firsthand. The 'Birkin' does not typically flower indoors, which allows it to focus its energy on producing its striking foliage. This, combined with its compact size and relatively easy care, makes it an ideal choice for both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts alike. Whether displayed on a shelf, desk, or as a centerpiece on a coffee table, the Philodendron 'Birkin' is sure to make a stylish and captivating addition to any indoor plant collection.

Plant sizing is based on the diameter of the nursery pot (2", 2.5", 3", 4" etc), not the plant itself. Plants may be slightly larger or smaller than the pot they are grow in depending on availability or time of year. While we do our best to ship plants as similar to those pictured as possible, please keep in mind that all plants are unique from one to the next, and display color, shape, and growth variation based on current environment, time of year, and other contributing factors. Please note that we ship our plants as dry as possible in the fall and winter months to prevent root rot or freezing. They will plump back up after planting!
