About me:
I am a new variety of Philodendron with beautiful white markings on my leaves. My name Birkin relates to the famous designer bag by Hermes.

Origin
I came about through a spontaneous mutation of the Philodendron Rojo Congo so I don't exist in the wild!

I can grow up to 80cm.
Light
I like bright indirect light and no direct sunlight.
Water
Allow top layer of soil to dry between waterings and water me less in winter.

Feeding
Feed me fortnightly from spring to autumn.
Grooming
Give my leaves a regular dusting.
Care
I like higher levels of humidity so please mist me or place me on a tray of pebbles. If the edges of my leaves are yellowing, you're probably overwatering me.
Toxicity
I am toxic so please don't eat me.
Fact
I have been known to produce purely white or green leaves and there's even evidence that I can randomly grow a Rojo Congo leaf!. Click here to buy Philodendron Birkin 'White Wave'.
