Philodendron Birkin

Botanical Name: Philodendron Birkin, fi· luh· den· druhn  bur· kn

Common Names: White Wave

The Philodendron Birkin is a hybrid characterized by its round, deep green leaves with mildly pointed tips and vivid white pinstripes and variegation. They are compact, somewhat slow-growing, and easy to care for.

Light Requirements

Bright, indirect light is important for maintaining the strong variegation of its foliage, but it will tolerate lower light as well.

Water Requirements

Enjoys a deep watering once the soil has mostly (or completely) dried out. Tip: It is always better to underwater than to overwater. 

Troubleshooting and Tips

Yellow leaves is usually a sign of overwatering. 

If a leaf turns yellow, don't worry about it. Leaves naturally die in the life cycle of a plant. If multiple leaves start to turn yellow it could be a sign that you are overwatering. 

Wilted leaves are likely a sign that the soil is too dry and you should water the plant.
