Philodendron Birkin

Description

The ‘Birkin’ is a most unlikely mutation from its mother plant the Rojo Congo. Foliage is a glossy dark green with stripes and flecks of white that create a satisfying texture on the leaf surface. A fresh addition to any collection. Although said to be a stable mutation sometimes it can have flashes of red and pink in the leaves, which makes it that bit more exciting and unpredictable.
