Philodendron Pink Birkin Plant
Here’s a complete care guide for Philodendron Pink Birkin Plant🌸💚
🌿 Overview
Botanical Name: Philodendron ‘Pink Birkin’
Family: Araceae
Type: Hybrid tropical houseplant
Origin: Cultivar (likely from Philodendron erubescens)
Feature: Striking pink and cream variegation on dark green leaves
☀️ Light
Prefers bright, indirect light.
Too little light will fade the pink variegation, while too much direct sun can scorch leaves.
East or north-facing windows are ideal.
💧 Watering
Water when the top 3–4 cm of soil feels dry.
Keep soil slightly moist but never soggy.
Ensure good drainage — Pink Birkin dislikes “wet feet.”
In winter, reduce watering frequency.
🌡️ Temperature & Humidity
Ideal temperature: 18–30°C.
Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature drops below 15°C.
Loves high humidity (60–80%).
Mist occasionally or use a pebble tray/humidifier for best leaf color and texture.
🌱 Soil
Use a loose, airy, well-draining mix.
Ideal mix:🪴 1 part coco peat or peat moss🪴 1 part perlite🪴 1 part orchid bark or coco chips
Avoid compacted soil — it causes root rot.
🌸 Fertilizer
Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer (half strength).
Stop feeding during winter when growth slows.
Avoid overfertilizing — it can burn roots and dull the pink color.
✂️ Pruning & Maintenance
Remove yellow or damaged leaves to encourage new growth.
Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust.
Rotate the plant regularly to maintain even variegation and shape.
🪴 Repotting
Repot every 1–2 years or when roots outgrow the pot.
Use a slightly larger pot with proper drainage holes.
Best time: Spring.
🧩 Propagation
Can be propagated from stem cuttings with nodes.
Root in water or moist soil under bright, indirect light.
