Becoming an indoor plant icon amongst newcomers and collectors alike, the Philodendron Birkin is a spectacle in its own right. Its unique variegation of white pinstripes set on a gleaming green background truly sets it apart.
Combining relatively easy care requirements and a less rapid growth pattern than many of its counterparts, the White Wave Philodendron is an attractive option for novices looking for something a little less ordinary.
Philodendrons are typically native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, this plant is an evergreen perennial cultivar within the Araceae family.
House Plant Care
Light
This plant enjoys a bright well-lit space but can handle small amounts of lower lighting. It will thrive best in a nice bright spot.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct light which can harm the foliage.
Water
Water when the soil begins to feel dry, but avoid letting it dry out completely. Ideally keep the watering regular, roughly once a week, and potentially more in the growing seasons.
It's always best to test how the soil feels before watering. Leave it alone if it feels moist.
Tips
The Philodendron Birkin grows slower than many other Philodendrons and also stays more compact meaning it does not need to be repot frequently.

This plant is toxic if ingested so keep away from small children and pets.
