The Philodendron is native to South America and referred to by scientists as Thaumatophyllum Bipinnatifidum. Philodendron themselves are relatively easy-to-maintain indoor plants. The entire Philodendron genus includes almost 500 species. These plants vary considerably in terms of leaf size, shape, and patterning.
The Birkin Philodendron is one of the rarer and more distinct-looking Philodendrons. It features the standard heart-leaf shape with beautiful yellow-white veins. Like its namesake, it's on the exclusive side, and the Birkin tends to be harder to find than any standard Philodendron.
Philodendrons are so popular in part because of their adaptability. These plants are very forgiving of low-light conditions, as they naturally grow under shady rainforest canopies. Philodendron prefers high-humidity to promote growth in leaves and stems, but will also manage in a drier space. These plants like for their soil to dry out between watering, but they don’t like to go longer than 2 weeks without hydration.
A Philodendron is great for long-term roommates and coworkers because they are versatile and will grow to complement wherever room you put them in. A climbing plant, the Philodendron is often pruned and grown as a means of framing or concealing parts of your space. Additionally, NASA has studied these species of Philodendron for their air-purifying abilities. With their great variability in style, health benefits and minimal care requirements, it’s clear why this family of plants has the corner on green indoor decor.

How to care for your
Philodendron
About care instructions
Plant care can vary depending on placement, light and exact environment. You can always request plant care help here.
Water: 1-2 weeks
Let the soil dry out 50-70% between watering. You can either stick a chopstick or your finger in to make sure the top at least 2 inches of soil are dry or lift the pot to see if it feels a bit light. Water thoroughly and make sure to pot in well-draining soil with drainage holes. Depending on the season and light, you will need to water the plant every 1-2 weeks.
Sun: shaded light
This plant requires medium light. It can tolerate low light, but it wants to see a bit of sun every day. Placing it in a north-facing or east-facing window would be ideal. While it will survive your dark corners, it won't thrive in them. In the summer, you can place them outside in a shady area.
Humidity: medium
This plant requires moderate humidity. Most households should be fine. Around 20-40% humidity works. It will be happy with more as well.
