PHILODENDRON BIRKIN

There are hundreds of philodendron species, and these popular houseplants are beloved for their easygoing nature and large, glossy-green foliage. If you want to stay up to date with trends, look for the Philodendron 'Birkin' (also commonly known as philodendron Birkin). This rare mutation of the hybrid Philodendron 'Rojo Congo' stands out because of the unique creamy white or yellow streaks on the green leaves. Be patient, though. The variegation only appears on mature plants, and sometimes it might produce leaves with a reddish tone or part red, part creamy white stripes.

Slow-growing and compact, it's a great plant for small spaces, providing it gets enough bright, indirect light to promote eye-catching variegation.

Philodendrons have a variety of growth habits, including trailing and climbing, but philodendron Birkin is self-heading with a thick, upright, self-supporting stem, promoting a more tree-like appearance.
