Description
Philodendron Birkin is instantly recognisable: its dark green leaves are traced with fine creamy-white pinstripes, different on every leaf. It stays compact and grows slowly, making it an ideal plant for a desk or console. Young leaves are often paler and darken as they mature.

Where to place it
Near a bright window, behind a sheer curtain. Its white stripes need light to stay crisp; in a dark corner, new leaves turn greener.
Caring for your Philodendron Birkin
- Water when the top two centimetres of soil are dry.
- It likes medium humidity: a fine-mist spray bottle helps when the heating is on.
- Dust the leaves with a damp cloth to keep their contrast.
- A feed of root feed for foliage plants once a month in spring and summer.
The right potting mix
An airy, moist mix that doesn't compact. Our Alocasia and tropical plant mix suits it very well.
Mistakes to avoid
- Lack of light: the plant loses its white stripes.
- Overwatering: leaves yellow from the bottom up.
- Repotting too often: it grows slowly and likes being a little snug.
Frequently asked questions
One leaf is completely green — is that normal?
Yes, it happens. If all the new leaves turn green, move the plant closer to the light.
Every plant is chosen and checked at the studio before it leaves. Delivery anywhere in Morocco, or collection from our studio in Rabat. A plant that arrives damaged will be exchanged: let us know within 48 hours with a photo.
