Details

Philodendron Birkin is a striking variegated plant with glossy deep green leaves streaked with creamy white to yellow pinstripes. In Greek, Phileo means 'to love' and dendron means 'tree', so it's perhaps not surprising that Philodendrons grow as epiphytes in their native habitats in the rainforests of Brazil and Paraguay.
