Following your instructions has my birkin perkin. Thank you!!!
Wonderful!
Title of this video should have been “Perkin’ Your Birkin”. Missed opportunity.
Damn it 😂
I just got one of these today and I've just repotted it in potting mix and in perlite I mix mine together and gave it some seaweed plant tonic to help with shock. So thank you for your how to care video.
You bet!
I bought mine at IKEA a few days ago for ten euros, and it's twice the size of the one in the video. Talk about a bargain! I also got a Scindapsus Njoy. I'm so happy with my purchase!
Oh wow!
Beautiful 🤩
I have 3 😍
Thanks for sharing ❤️
As I got my philodendron birkin, I divided it into three plants because I thought there were too many individual plants planted in the same pot... Now I realise it's just its growth pattern to grow bushy...So I have really tiny birkins and I think they are cute. The biggest one has pin stripes but others don't. The early division could have been really bad for the plant but luckily they all survived. The funny thing is that the plant came in a mini pot from the nursery. It was the size of a shot glass, and still I decided to divide it😳
3 Birkins for the price of one is decent 👍
That is exactly what happened to me! Tiny cup bought from Hofer (Aldi) and four little ones couped together in a small amount of potting soil.. seemed barely able to breathe in there.. and I did the same thing, divided them in pairs into 'decent-sized' pots with large drainage holes and more room for roots to spread.. thinking is not knowing, I guess 🤷♀️😅🙈 So now mine, too, look as if they're about to remain minuature.. well, so long as they're healthy and keep developing new leaves.. ❤
Thank you for all those wonderful ideas on house plants 👏👏👏
Thanks Cynthia 👍

Good clear advice 👍
Glad you liked it!
Yours is so full and beautiful!!! I've been using a moisture meter and water when dry. But occasionally I get a leave that drips a goo! I cut it off and hope for the best. I think I had it in too big of a pot. Transplanted it into a clay pot which is smaller. We shall see. Thanks for the informative video!
That sounds strange. I’ve had brown leaves because I overwatered. Clay pot sounds like a good bet. Thanks for watching 😊
I just got one today and the plant is wobbly. I took it out of the soil for the most part and the roots are on the outside of the soil for almost the entire outside perimeter. I’m going to put her in a bigger pot about two inches bigger and hopefully she’ll be ok. She’s so beautiful. I have some beautiful leaves. One has 1/4 all green the rest is the white/green. Wish I could save the leaves just exactly the way they look now. Maybe a flower press would work for some of my most favorite leaves before they die. 😌 thank you for the video
Thanks for watching 😁
Beautiful philodendron birkin nice information upload the other day l bought birkin thanks for the tips new here 👍
Hey thanks for watching 👍 The Birkin is my favourite plant, love the leaves.
Thanks for advice
You bet!
Mine is East window. Mostly green. Small leaves. A lot of small green growth on the bottom . One striped leaf from the top came in with a brown area. I use a water meter for all my plants. They gets individual attention.
I need a plant for a darkish corner of my house so I might buy a rubber plant or an umbrella plant. Thanks for the advice
That's a beautiful, compact. Bushy Philodendron Birkins.
Thank you 😊
@@SheffieldMadePlants your so Welcome 🤗.
I’ve kept mine in bright light and it’s beautiful!!
Thank you
a year ago i bougt a small congo and a birkin in one pot , looking great . A month ago i saw that de congo was growing bigger and bigger so i took the birkin out of the pot. The birkin did not like that and give me 2 wounded completly white leaves, i cut them of, now she gave me a new leave......half of it is a congo!!!
That’s happened to me. Usually a one off
My philodendron birkin changed into a small philodendron red Congo.. 😢… so I bought a new birkin looks great I hope it stays a birkin 🤞
Give it lots of light 👍
I have one of those ❤
Just grabbed one of these from IKEA Sheffield. It is labelled up as a Rojo Congo.
That's the non variegated name I believe
@@SheffieldMadePlants it’s definitely variegated. So, probably labelled incorrectly for some reason. 👍
Hi Sheffield... I bought a Philo. Birkin from lidl today, in a ceramic cache pot for 6 euro 99😊.. I'm thinking of going back to buy another one 🤣
The more the merrier 😁
@@SheffieldMadePlants only problem is.. Where to find the place to put it 😂
good advice.my birkens philodendron is also stunning.watch it.
Thanks! 😄
v pretty plant
One of my fave
I got it from brighemere. It's in a fairly dark area. I've found it on line as philodendron zebra. But they do look very similar.i really enjoy your videos please keep them up as they usually tend to be American 😊
Mine has tiny yellow bugs on it, I have repotted them and washed them mostly clean of bugs and sprayed them with H2O2. The leafes are still sick though
Should bounce back but you’ll lose some leaves probably
With so many plants..how do you keep track of watering/feeding schedules?
It's not too bad. I just tend to check them on a weekend and water those that need it. Probably an hours work 😁
I need your help, here in Brazil we still haven't found information about this plant, I acquired this plant 1 month ago, but it has some brown spots, it is inside the house, next to the window. What could be happening?
Hmm might be a fungus. Have you tried using a fungicide? One of my new leaves came out half brown but that was just a mutation in the variegation so nothing to worry about. What do the spots looks like?
Thanks for this amazing content. My plant looks pretty good, has a lot of new growth but every single new growth died. The new leaves grow all white and then within a day or two, there’s light brown color on the new white leaves and then the brown gets darker and eventually dies and produces another new white leaf that does the same 😢 not sure what’s wrong with it. Do you have suggestions? Thanks in advance!
Mine’s done that too. I think it’s an overwatering issue.
Hi, I'm not sure if you've answered this question before, but how do you get the plant to grow more bushy instead of tall and skinny? I've seen that cutting the stems seems to encourage branching? If so where is the best location to cut it?
Yes cutting the stems will do that. Cut just above a leaf node
❤
thank you for your advice. mine grew too tall and lost all the lover leaves over the winter, so now he cannot stand on his own. if i repot, cut the roots like you showed in another video and bury the stem in the soil, will it be ok? or better propagate?
love the birkin, mine has a name and he's one of my first plants. thanks in advance
I’d say it’s better to propagate
@@SheffieldMadePlants thank you!
Hi enjoy watching your video I know u Don't use leca but my birkin been struggling not much growth so am converting my plants to leca. If u where to do this what would u do to convert it. Just out of interest from someone in the UK
Sorry this is outside my expertise having never done it. I recommend the leca queen for info
Thank you for replying bk I do follow her but I find when someone in the same country as you, the conditions are more relatable.
Yellow leaf and brown need help
Such a great video! I'm at a loss with mine (I have two) because I find it quite difficult to get these to grow new leaves. I have a ton of plants that are all doing quite well, these included, but one of mine are actually turning brown when they grow new leaves and I have no idea why :/ I think I could be giving it more light and I'm watering it twice a week in the summer in Arizona. What could be the cause of new leaves getting brown right away and not growing? Any input would be appreciated. Also, I have a question about money trees if you know anything about this beautiful plant. Thanks in advance!
This happens to mine and it’s tricky knowing why. I think it must be a watering problem. They don’t seem to like have wet roots for long.
@@SheffieldMadePlantsglad to know it happens even with you! I love my plants but I’m at the point where if they struggle I’ll do what I can to help them, but not stress over it. It truly gets exhausting stressing too much and seeing as I have over 50, I will surely go insane. Haha. Thanks for the quick response, maybe I’ll try watering once a week instead of two. No one quite seems to know the exact cause which is strange.
@@SheffieldMadePlants Sorry. Didn't mean to switch accounts on you. Like I said I'll try watering once a week instead of two. But quick question about a money tree, would you happen to know why the tips are turning brown? Could that be too much water? It's in a good pot I think, bright indirect light, and been watering it twice a week as well. Thinking about cutting back to once a week. There are always new leaves growing which is a good sign, just wondering if the brown tips mean I'm over watering.
@@yogadaily9864 resources.sheffieldmadeplants.com/handbook
Does it’s pot have a drainage hole? If not how is it doing without it?
Yep, the plant is in a plastic pot with drainage holes
I have two growths coming in but they've not opened. Its been weeks. Are they stuck?
Potentially. See if it's stuck and try and prise it open a little
Do you know the difference between Birkin and zebra. As i have zebra and it looks very similar apart from the the fact my zebra seams to have very white leaves when they open .
Might be the same plant with a different name. Could be in too bright a spot
Mine is perky and growing very small, very white new leaves. Is this too much light?
They tend to come out all white and get the green stripes as they get older. Not sure why the leaves are small though. Are the roots alright?
I have white dots on two of my leaves! How do I fix this
What are they?
What is the best thing to feed my Birkin and how much?
Any all purpose fert suitable for houseplants.
I know this video is a year old but I have a question. My birkin has reverted to solid white. It has 3 stems on it and the white growths get soft and soggy, so I remove them. My question is.....shouid I cut off all the stems and hope it reverts back to green or is the plant toast. I have the plant near a east facing window. Thanks for any help
If they’re going soggy it sounds like an overwatering problem. New growth should come through when it’s corrected. The white slowly turns green
Thanks for the reply! I did repot it in a coarser medium. I didnt see any evidence of root rot I guess I will just wait and see how it progresses. Thanks again. I subscribed.@@SheffieldMadePlants
My Birkin is always wobbly. If I pick it up, it bobs from one side to another. I have replanted it and it was fine for about a month and it is back to usual. Anyone have similar problem?
That’s strange. It would normally send out aerial roots to stabilise in the soil. Might be worth resetting by cutting off the loose stem and propagating?
Mine has been like this since the day I brought her home. I then repotted due to it being in the wrong soil mixture from the nursery and then placed it backwards towards bright indirect light, fertilized and left it for about two months and Ariel’s took root and are finally starting to ground her. 🙏🏼😄 but I dealt with the wobbly for ab 6mo prior and it drove me nuts so I’m kinda glad I’m not the only one.
@@jasminemardello920 good to know thanks 👍
Haha, I didn't know this was a thing. I also have a wobbly plant.
I bought a wobbly one today. I got it for half the price. It wasn't placed deeply in the pot. The roots were showing on the TOP of the soil. I just added fresh soil to cover those exposed roots. I didn't fiddle with it other than that. I will watch it over the next week or so. Thanks.
Will these revert back to white or once they're green, it stays green?
A green leaf will stay green. Your fight will be stopping the new leaves coming out all green too.
Any tips for using a grow light with a birkin? I’ve got a Soltech grove bar
What are you not sure about?
@@SheffieldMadePlantsa few things, like…
1. Can you burn a birkin with an LED grow light?
2. If the birkin expects bright indirect light from the sun, how do you translate that to the light output of a grow light? Do I need to filter the light somehow, or keep it far away?
3. Any other lighting tips for keeping a birkin happy?
@@bp8730 you shouldn’t burn the plant unless it’s right up against the light. I’d aim for about 5 inches away and have it on for 10 hours a day at least. 12 is better
Mine keeps doing the opposite of reverting, The leaves come out all white, get smaller and smaller, get brown, and die. I keep pruning it but it always eventually does the same again 😞
Might be too much light in this case
@@SheffieldMadePlants ha! Haven't thought of that. Will try moving it. Thanks!
Mine is growing but the leaves are curling and the tips are browning?
Curling leaves suggests lack of water. Have a look at the roots and soil
@@SheffieldMadePlants Thank you for replying! I'll do both.
What's the tree-like plant directly to the right of you? tnx
Dracaena
no t the one in the pink pot the one with branches and leaves almost on the edge of frame@@SheffieldMadePlants
Do you cover your soil with rocks?
Perlite but I don’t anymore. Was for gnat prevention but didn’t work
@@SheffieldMadePlants have you tried Systemic Granules? Worked wonders for me!
Mine died after reppoting it and I have no clue Whyyyyyyy 😢
That’s weird. Was the soil wet? They don’t tend to like wet soil
How old is this plant ?
About 2 years
Can my philodendron birkin live in water for the rest of its life or do it have to live in soil?
I’ve not done it myself but you can grow plants in water. It’s hydroponic growing. I’d change the water sometimes and remember to add liquid fertiliser every so often.
Thanks very much
I am plant sitting and her leaves appear droopy I’m worried she’s not going to perk up 😅
😬
@@SheffieldMadePlants any suggestions 🤞
@@christinaavalos218 very hard to say why it’s drooping without seeing it. Check the usuals like water levels and light
Mine is so sad 😭😭 I don’t know what’s wrong
What’s up?
Since I bought it almost a year ago every new leaf has browned and died 🥲 I’ve repotted it, changed the placement, changed watering schedule, fertilized it, etc.. The old leaves are looking good, but new growths are small and they die straight after opening, my other plants are thiving, I guess it doesn’t like my vibe at this point 😂😅
@@silviamilamas I found this to be too much water
@@SheffieldMadePlants thanks for the hint, I’ll try changing the soil and watering even less! I’m not giving up 💪🏼
I have a question that I haven’t seen answered on any of your videos. I have this Philly Birkin and it had two really soggy leaves. Like so soggy they were mushy. I can’t see anywhere why this happened and what to do to stop it happening again? I have the water metre you use to see if the plant needs a drink so it wasn’t from over watering. Help!
I think it’s very sensitive to overwatering. The new leaves on mine turn brown and mushy when I’ve given it a drink when the soil wasn’t bone dry. Check out the roots. Are any black?
@@SheffieldMadePlants No, none are black. The rest are perfect, just those 2 leaves on the under side of the plant. I’ve been checking and haven’t had any since.
@SheffieldMadePlants I just got 2 gorgeous Birkins and I popped on here to check out how to care for them. I'm so glad that I read your comment about letting them get bone dry!! 🎉❤
mines living in leca right now cause im afraid of it💀
I’m thinking of use that for mine right now. Is yours still thriving?
@@sapphir7969 honestly, mine was never thriving. I got it from Lowe’s and most of it died. I saved one section and put it in soil expecting it to die, but it never did. After like a year, it’s starting to push out its first new leaf💀
lol thanks for replying. Sounds like it’ll make a full recovery. I only saved two pieces from mine and have been keeping it in water for the last 3+ months. It’s finally starting to push out a new leaf and I was contemplating transferring it to leca
@@sapphir7969 i really like leca, and i think it would be great for a picky birkin! I personally have found that a lot of my plants from Lowe’s are very fragile at first, but once they get established and start receiving good care, they tend to bounce back and give you their thanks :)
easy. just buy a new one every 3 weeks :p
😂
Better hope it doesn't revert into a Congo. Yep it's daddy is the Congo.
Give it enough light and it’s fine
What is a standard philodendron there's no such thing. When this plant reverts it reverts to its natural state which is a rojo Congo philodendron not a standard philodendron. Again what is standard or regular that doesn't describe anything
Don't don't sound as enthusiastic as you usually do. What's up? It's painful to watch you force yourself to do this video.
One of my first videos 😅
Nervous right?
