This is another installment in my series, “What I Love About a Certain Plant.” Today, I’m featuring the Philodendron Birkin. I love this plant for many reasons, but I’ll narrow it down to just one: the unpredictable nature of the variegation.
I’ve created a care video, a spotlight video, and a historical background on this plant, which I’ll link below along with any other relevant videos.
What makes the Philodendron Birkin so exciting is that its variegation is not always stable. This means the plant can revert to all green like a standard philodendron at any time. While this can be a bit disappointing, it’s also exciting—especially when the plant continues producing leaves with new and different variegation patterns.
For example, on this plant, I have a leaf that’s almost completely white, while others are darker and more traditional. Some leaves are entirely green, like the one in front here, but most still display the stunning variegation that makes this plant so popular.
That’s my favorite thing about the Philodendron Birkin! Please share your favorite thing about this plant in the comments below. And if there’s another houseplant you’d like me to cover in this series, let me know!
I’ll include a playlist link for this series below so you can check out what I’ve already covered. I’m excited to hear your thoughts on this plant and any others you’d like me to talk about.
