EtonGreen Live Philodendron Birkin Variegated Rare Plant For Home & Office

If you haven’t heard of a Philodendron Birkin yet, you’re not alone. They’re a new, beautiful philodendron hybrid variety, and they make the perfect houseplant! They are compact, somewhat slow-growing, and relatively easy to care for. Birkins are identified by their round, deep green leaves with mildly pointed tips and vivid white pinstripes and variegation. No two leaves are the same, and thanks to the plump, thick, bright stems, they are always prominently on display. Philodendrons were first discovered in the 1600s in Brazil’s rainforests. Philodendron actually means “tree lover” in Greek. Philodendrons are a diverse genus made up of 489 species, most commonly found in tropical, humid climates. An important thing to remember about Birkin is that direct sunlight is their worst enemy. It’s probably counter-intuitive since plants need sunlight to live, but too much of a good thing can be bad. Direct sunlight can burn and damage the leaves or dry out the plant. Birkin respond best to indirect or shaded sunlight.
