Philodendron 'Birkin' is a stunning variety that develops pure white pinstripes on its foliage, growing ever more variegated as the plant matures. As a fairly new hybrid to modern cultivation, 'Birkin' often shows very interesting variation from leaf to leaf - it is not uncommon to notice occasional splashes of pink or light red on new leaves as they unfurl. A must for any rare aroid collector or lover of variegated plants.
The Philodendron Birkin is a thirsty plant and likes to be watered as soon as the soil is dry. If you're looking for a watering schedule to use for this plant, it's this: Water this plant once per week. It doesn't really matter which season it is at the moment, this plant loves to be in moist soil most of the time.
Philodendron birkin plants thrive from bright indirect light. You want to give your plant the feeling it's under a tropical canopy.
Fertilizer is the major key to a healthy birkin plant with large beautiful leaves. A balanced liquid fertilizer is a perfect choice. This liquid fertilizer should have micro-nutrients calcium and magnesium. These are two of the most important nutrients for philodendron plants.
Use a well-draining potting mix that doesn't dry out too quickly. A mix of 2/3 potting mix and 1/3 perlite works well, although a specialist Aroid mix is ideal.
Unfortunately, the Philodendron Birkin, like many other tropical plants is toxic to both pets and humans. Because of this, make sure you keep it out of range of your cats and dogs, but also small children. This plant is only toxic when the leaves and stems have been chewed on. The Philodendron birkin is a rare gorgeous houseplant with dark green leaves. The beautiful leaves are variegated with a light yellow too. You don't find many plants like it. The garden gods took a paintbrush across the leaves to make an intriguing pattern.
