The upright-growing and drought-tolerant Birkin is grown and shipped fresh from our farm to your door. Heart shaped leaves feature green and white "pinstripes". White stripes on leaves become more pronounced as each leaf matures. Can grow 3 feet tall and unlike other Philo's, can grow up-right. [bio] Plant Bio Philodendron Birkin Philodendron ‘Birkin’ is a new houseplant that has emerged on the scene and it is believed to be a mutation of the more common philodendron variety Red Congo. It differs by featuring dark green leaves with dramatic creamy-white pinstripes. Like Red Congo, it is not a vining variety, so you don’t need to provide a support on which to climb. Like other philodendrons, Birkin is a member of the aroid family (Araceae), and shares kinship with plants like alocasia, monstera, and pothos. Note: This plant may have some natural degree of toxicity and may cause discomfort or illness if ingested. Additionally, exposure to the sap of this plant may cause discomfort to individuals with a sensitivity to it upon contact. Grown for ornamental purposes and not intended for human or animal consumption.
