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 Philodendron. It features the standard heart-leaf shape with beautiful yellow-white veins. Like it’s 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 prefer 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.
