White Wave Philodendron (Philodendron ‘Birkin’)

White Wave Philodendron (Philodendron ‘Birkin’) 🌿🤍
A beautiful, compact houseplant with glossy green leaves decorated with fine, creamy-white pinstripes. Its patterned foliage brings a fresh, elegant touch to desks, shelves and smaller spaces.

With an upright growth habit, White Wave creates a neat, leafy display without the trailing stems of climbing philodendrons. Each plant has its own mix of markings, making every one slightly different.

Plant Care

• Light: Enjoys bright, indirect light. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

• Watering: Allow the surface of the compost to dry slightly before watering thoroughly. Let excess water drain away and reduce watering in winter. Small pots can dry quickly, so check the compost regularly.

• Temperature: Happy in a warm room around 18–24°C. Keep above 15°C and away from cold draughts and hot radiators.

• Humidity: Happy in normal household humidity, although it appreciates more humid conditions.

• Feed: Apply a balanced liquid houseplant fertiliser monthly during spring and summer, following the product’s instructions.
