{"product_id":"philodendron-birkin","title":"Philodendron ‘Birkin’","description":"\u003cp\u003ePhilodendron 'Birkin', a striking and highly sought-after member of the Araceae family. This stunning cultivar is a relatively new and trendy philodendron variety that has quickly become a favorite among plant enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA true mutant cultivar, the 'Birkin' does not exist in the wild. It is believed to have originated as a spontaneous chimeric mutation of the Philodendron 'Rojo Congo'. Another theory suggests it may be a hybrid of the cultivars 'Congo' and 'Imperial Green'. Whatever its origin, this plant is a masterpiece of nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 'Birkin' is a non-climbing, self-heading philodendron that grows in an upright, bushy fashion. Its main attraction is its beautiful, deep green, heart-shaped leaves, which are liberally streaked with highly contrasting creamy white to yellow pinstripes. As the plant matures, it can become more and more variegated, with each new leaf bearing a unique and unpredictable pattern. Some leaves may even display half-moon variegation or, occasionally, produce an all-white or cream leaf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile it rarely flowers indoors, mature plants may produce spathes of greenish-white flowers. This compact, non-vining plant typically reaches about 3 feet tall and wide at maturity, making it a perfect choice for desks, shelves, and tabletops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCare Instructions: Provide bright, indirect light for the best growth and to maintain vibrant variegation. It can tolerate medium to lower light, but growth may slow and variegation may fade. Water when the top inch or two of soil feels dry to the touch. Water thoroughly, allowing excess water to drain away. Keep the soil slightly moist but never soggy, as this plant is susceptible to root rot. Reduce watering in the winter months.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rainforest Flora","offers":[{"title":"4” Pot","offer_id":49866237575410,"sku":null,"price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6” Pot","offer_id":49866237608178,"sku":null,"price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0711\/1763\/5826\/files\/ED49F7F1-47B7-4F2C-949A-5EBD97FD0F35.jpg?v=1785478030","url":"https:\/\/rainforestflora.com\/products\/philodendron-birkin","provider":"Rainforest Flora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
