LIGHT
Philodendron Birkin thrives in medium to bright, indirect light. Avoid too much shade, but protect from direct sun to prevent leaf scorching.
SOIL
Use a potting mix designed for aroids, combining potting soil, orchid bark, and perlite for optimal acidity, moisture, drainage, and aeration.
WATER
Water thoroughly, then allow the top soil to dry slightly before watering again. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
Maintain temperatures between 65-85°F with humidity levels of 50-60%. Ideal for bathrooms. Use humidifiers or pebble trays in dry conditions.
FERTILIZER
Feed with a balanced, diluted houseplant fertilizer every few months during spring and summer to enhance growth and foliage.
PRUNING
Minimal pruning required; remove damaged leaves to focus energy on healthy growth.
PROPAGATION
Easily propagate from stem cuttings. Submerge nodes in water until roots sprout, then transfer to moist soil.
POTTING
Repot when roots outgrow the pot. Refresh potting mix and avoid oversized pots to prevent root rot
