It wasn't until I saw a Philodendron Birkin in person that I actually liked them.
After I bought 2 (one for me, one to separate and sell) that I heard the debate going on...
There is a debate going on in the plant community that this plant is actually chemically altered.
Last year there was a plant called the Philodendron Pink Congo and it flooded that market with a huge price point.
Turns out, the plant reverts.
Turning from pink to all green over time.
The Philodendron Birkin is suggested to be chemically altered as well and it will revert to a red color.
It would look more like a Philodendron Congo Red
So time will tell if this one will revert or if it'll continue to have variegation.
There were several at the shop that had started to revert, so who knows what will happen...
This plant is currently putting out its first new leaf since being in my care and I'm looking forward to watching it unfurl!
Stay rad - Stay safe
