How to Care for Your Philodendron 'Birkin'

Place your Birkin in a well-lit space with plenty of filtered sunlight to maintain its striking variegation. Use a rich, well-draining soil mix that includes components like coco coir, orchid bark, or perlite. Water when the soil feels dry to the touch and always empty excess water to prevent soggy roots.

This plant enjoys stable indoor temperatures and moderate humidity. Fertilize monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer to encourage new growth and sharper striping on emerging leaves. Clean the leaves occasionally to keep them glossy and photosynthesizing efficiently.
