Philodendron Birkin is a compact, upright variety prized for its striking pinstriped leaves. Each new leaf unfurls with creamy white variegation that contrasts beautifully against the deep green base, creating a painterly, almost hand-drawn effect. It’s a slow grower with a refined, sculptural look—ideal for tabletops, shelves, and curated plant arrangements.

Pro Tip
Rotate the plant weekly to encourage even growth and keep the variegation evenly distributed. If lower leaves yellow, check your watering schedule—it may be too much.
-
Light and Placement
Thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate medium light, strong indirect light will bring out the most dramatic striping. Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause browning or leaf burn.
-
Watering and Care
Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Birkin prefers consistently moist but not soggy soil. Use a well-draining potting mix and ensure the pot has proper drainage. This plant enjoys a touch of humidity but performs well in average indoor conditions.
-
Growth and Size
Typically grows to 1 to 2 feet tall indoors with a tidy, upright form. As it matures, the variegation may become more pronounced, with each leaf developing its own unique pattern.
-
Pet-Friendly?
Philodendron Birkin is considered toxic if ingested. Keep it away from curious pets that might chew on leaves.
-
Benefits and Air Quality
While not the most powerful air purifier, Birkin adds sophisticated greenery and vertical structure to a space, making it perfect for design-conscious plant lovers.

Difficulty level
