Philodendron Birkin Variegated Houseplant in 6 In. White Decorative Plant Pot Gift

Philodendron 'Birkin' is a wonderful houseplant whose appeal can be pinned on the generous creamy white streakiness that's 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' won't 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 humidity. 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 you're going to get with each new leaf, but that's what makes it so fun.
