Birkin Philodendron

It is distinguished by its variegated leaves that are especially noticeable on new growth, marked by linear white lines throughout its dark green, waxy oval and heart-shaped leaves. The Birkin Philodendron grows up to 3 feet in height and width and prefers non-direct, bright light and gently, moist soil, which should be allowed to dry out between waterings.
