Philodendron 'Birkin'

What is the plant

Philodendron Birkin is an absolutely stunning Philodendron with beautiful white pinstriped leaves. This is a somewhat smaller, more manageable variety of Philodendron. When allowed to climb, the maturing foliage can grow 6 to 8 inches in diameter.

Birkin Variegata is one of the smaller philodendrons. This fast clumping variety of philodendron has leaves that reach 6 to 8 inches at maturity and can quickly form bushy clumps. Though Birkin Variegata is actually a climbing variety it can maintain its bushy form by simply trimming it back once or twice per year. These are very healthy tropical plants with well established root systems. The growth rate and leaf color of Birkin Variegata will vary greatly depending on soil type, sunlight, temperature and other factors. A few leaves are often trimmed prior to shipping to reduce transpiration and travel stress.
