Philodendron Birkin
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.
Light
Most philodendron species appreciate filtered light, and the Birkin is no exception. A west- or east-facing window with medium bright, indirect light usually works well. To maximize the variegation, you don't want a corner that is too shady, but too much direct sun can scorch the leaves and result in limp, leggy growth. This plant usually appreciates a few hours of light morning sun.
Soil
Philodendrons thrive in potting mixes specially designed for aroid species, or you can try making your own. Blending one part potting soil, one part orchid bark, and one part perlite provides the right amount of acidity, moisture retention, drainage, and aeration—they require good air circulation but don't tolerate soggy roots.
Water
They might be hard-to-kill plants, but philodendron Birkin isn't impervious to overwatering. One of the biggest problems is overwatering this plant—soggy soil can lead to mushy stems and root rot. Watering thoroughly and allowing the top few inches of soil to dry out before topping up the moisture level works best.
