 💚✨

Philodendron ‘Birkin Compactum’ is a smaller, tighter version of the popular Birkin, known for its bold pinstripe variegation on deep green leaves. Its compact size and upright habit make it perfect for desks, shelves, and plant groupings where space is limited but style is still essential.

Key Features:

✔ Iconic white-on-green pinstriped leaves

✔ More compact and bushier than standard Birkins

✔ Upright, structured growth – great for small spaces

✔ Easy-care and excellent for plant beginners or collectors

Care Instructions:

• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light – can tolerate medium light

• Watering: Let the top 2–3cm of soil dry out before watering again

• Humidity: Enjoys moderate humidity – benefits from occasional misting

• Soil: Use a well-draining aroid mix with perlite or orchid bark

• Feeding: Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with balanced fertiliser

• Temperature: Keep between 18–26°C – avoid cold draughts

• Growth: Typically reaches 20–30cm tall when mature

🌿 Tip: Rotate regularly to keep its shape even and prevent leaning toward the light.
