Philodendron 'Birkin Compactum'
Philodendron 'Birkin Compactum' is a compact form of the popular Philodendron 'Birkin', producing glossy dark green leaves decorated with distinctive creamy-white pinstripe variegation. Each leaf develops its own pattern, giving the plant plenty of character despite its smaller size.
Its tidy, upright growth habit makes 'Birkin Compactum' especially well suited to desks, shelves, windowsills and smaller indoor spaces. Position in bright, indirect light to encourage strong growth and maintain the attractive variegation.
