Plant Faqs
How much light does a Birkin need? Provide bright, indirect light to encourage the best variegation. Why are the leaves turning green? A lack of light can cause the plant to lose its white pinstriping; move to a brighter spot. Is it a vining plant? No, the Birkin is a self-heading, upright Philodendron that does not require a trellis.

🌱
Soil Look

•
Starter Stage
Compact starter plant with thick, leathery leaves that may be solid dark green initially, with variegation developing as the plant matures.
