Plant Faqs
How much light does a Philodendron Birkin need? It prefers bright, indirect light to keep its variegation bright. Is the Birkin Philodendron safe for pets? No, like most Philodendrons, it contains calcium oxalates and should be kept away from curious pets. Why are the white stripes fading? This is often a sign of insufficient light; move the plant to a brighter spot.

Dark, porous potting medium with visible particles of perlite or organic bark.
