Philodendron Birkin 6"
With its disctinctive white-striped leaves, the Philodendron Birkin brings a touch of elegance and style to any indoor space. Find care instructions below:
Light: Philodendron Birkin prefers indirect sunlight. Any room with a bright window will do, and stay 3 to 6 feet away from the nearest light source. Brighter rooms will help it produce more leaves.
Water: For your Philodendron Birkin, you want soil that retains moisture but dries out between waterings. Birkin plants tolerate drought better than they do over-watering. In terms of schedule — water once a week, but check first if the top inch of soil feels dry.
Repot: 1. LOOSEN THE ROOT BALL
In some cases, you can get away with not doing this (if your plant isn’t particularly root bound, but in that case, you may not want to repot at all).
2. CHOOSE AN APPROPRIATELY SIZED POT
As a general rule of thumb, I only go up one pot size when I repot. This plant was in a 6 inch diameter pot and I placed it in an 8 inch diameter pot.
3. USE A VERY WELL DRAINING POTTING MIX
There are many types of potting mixes that will work for Philodendron Birkin. Like any aroid, as long as your mix is very well drained, you will be good.
