About Philodendron Birkin
Philodendrons grow aerial roots that grip the bark of trees, allowing them to grow over 20 feet tall! Their heart-shaped leaves change shape as they climb and can grow larger than a dinner plate. Fossils show Philodendrons growing as far back as 30 million years ago when South America was still connected to Antarctica! ❄️

How to fertilize Philodendron Birkin
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Philodendron Birkin after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Got Sylvie last Sunday. Getting worse daily. Leaves circling up turning yellow & weird round holes in one leaf. Afraid of watering. #Philodendron

I was inspecting my girl Queenie for the #SpotlightoftheDay and realized there were actually 2 full plants in her pot! I love a #bonusplant especially a #Philodendron! This is Kathleen! (I’ll probably change her name later lol) she is now in her own pot with a nice chunky mix 💚🪴 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PlantTherapy #GrowLights #PLANTMAFIA #GregGang #Greggers #PhiloFlock #BirkinPhilodendron #PhilodendronBirkin

Can your plant become traumatized from travel? Like from one state to another? Mr. Bean’s leaves have rotted off but his nub is still green in the dirt. What should I do? #Philodendron

This is my first plant from Greg, and I love her already. The price was wonderful. Low enough, I can buy more.

She’s starting to brown and notice a small mushroom 🍄🟫 looking thing…new to plant life. What could be happening? FYI…soil still feels wet 🤔 TIA #Philodendron

Is this level of variegation normal? #Philodendron Phyllis is my 6 year old philodendron Birkin. She’s been in this same pot for about 4 years. She puts out a ton of new leaves but each one is lighter than the last. Is this normal?
