Philodendron Birkin

If you follow us on instagram you will have seen that I bought one of these guys from a plant shop for myself. I loved it so much I’ve decided to stock them 🙂 They’re such an interesting plant. Birkin, named after the famous Hermes bag – doesn’t actually occur in the wild, they are the result of a spontaneous mutation of a philodendron red congo. This makes it super interesting because they’ve been known to spit out a whole variety of leaves, some completely white, entire phil.rojo leaves and lots of variations in-between. As this is a philodendron, it’s really easy to look after too. I love a plant with a good story and this little anecdote doesn’t disappoint.
