Philodendron Birkin - 25cm

Product description

The Philodendron Birkin is a real favourite among houseplants, Philo also means 'to love' in Greek. Originally, this plant comes from the tropical rainforests and it is a climbing plant by nature. Rest assured, this variant will not climb to your ceiling! The white markings on the leaves are striking, although you will not see much of them when you buy the plant. The older the plant gets, the more stripes it will get on its new leaves. As the plant grows more leaves, a contrast of colours will develop.

Care & tips Philodendron Birkin - 25cm

The Philodendron Birkin needs a light spot but not full sun. The plant grows slowly but steadily. The more light the plant receives, the more contrast there will be in its leaves, and that is what you want! The plant likes a moist soil but not wet feet. It is better to skip watering once than to let the Philodendron Birkin get its feet too wet.

Water requirements for the Philodendron Birkin - 25cm

The Philodendron Birkin likes a little higher humidity. Do not worry, it does not need tropical temperatures and rain! The Philodendron Birkin does like to be sprayed with water every now and then. This will remove the dust from the leaves, allowing the plant to breathe again. Only water the plant when the soil is no longer moist.

Light requirements Philodendron Birkin - 25cm

Light is essential for the Philodendron Birkin, but not full sun. Watch how the plant reacts to its location. If its leaves turn yellow or brown, it will not like its new location. New leaves are always a good sign that the plant is doing well.

Is the Philodendron Birkin - 25cm poisonous?
