Thanks for reviewing the Burkin plant. I just got one too, but mine is a baby. But it came in a pot with two other plants, both peperomias. I separated them. The three cost me $25 here in Australia. Planted the Burkin in it's own little decorative pot and the peperomias I added to my bird bath planter. I plant my plants directly into the decorative pots and use chunky orchid mix. When I water I go to the sink and drench them and then hold my hand over the top of the soil and drain them thoroughly over the sink, by tilting them over and spilling as much as I can out. Never had root rot. There is one pot I can't do that with and it is a bird bath that I use as a planter for many different kinds of plants (open air terrarium style). I put in a decorative terracotta ball in it too, but you can use a very small terracotta pot, it would do the same thing and I dug it into the soil as deep down as I could. What it does is show me how wet the soil is. The wetter it appears the more moisture there is in the soil. Also the terracotta helps evaporate the water from the soil. It has live worms in the soil and last time I planted a new plant there found 5 big guys. They don't seem to harm the plants at all, if anything they help them. I have some very fine plants there too like baby tears. So you can plant directly into a decorative pot, but you have to make sure you tip it over in the sink to remove the excess water or use a way to judge how wet the soil is like I did with a terracotta ball or pot or a moisture meter. I would never plant an orchid into a decorative pot though. For them I do something completely different. Usually a clear plastic pot with holes almost to the top of the pot then put that into a decorative cement planter and then sit that cement planter in a clear deep plastic drip tray that is about an inch or so wider than the cement pot all around then fill it with Leca. Because what I do is water from inside and outside the pot to keep the humidity high. The outside Leca part I make sure is always full of water, that way I can grow java moss on the cement pot. It also looks so cool that way, as it looks very natural, but at the same time creating humidity for the orchid. I also keep planted fish tanks and a 4 foot paludarium with a grow wall. So been doing this sort of thing for some time. By the way love your channel.
Aw Thanks so much! I have wanted to start working g with leca & moss more with my plants and I absolutely love terrariums. I want to fill my house with them. 💚🌱
@@belindanadela4203 exactly. It is pretty sad that the costs of Plant can get so high now a days but my town definitely doesn’t have a lot of these available so the second I found it I didn’t hesitate to buy it. I’m a sucker but they are just so gorgeous. 💚 Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate it.
I love this video. Thanks for sharing. I bought my birkin at Home Depot for $12.99 and this was also on my wish list :) I fell in love with the striking foliage. I noticed your plant collection is beautiful! From one Utahn to another :)
Wow that’s is such a great price and at Walmart. My local Walmart hardly has any plants and I don’t think I would ever find a Birkin at mine. I did however get my bird of paradise there and it has done well. I love my Birkin too. One of my all time favorite plants. Thanks so much for watching. 💚🌱
I wish I only paid $20. I live in a small town and when I came across this plant it was the only one I had seen in person and I couldn’t help but grab it. That is awesome that you got yours for only $20. Now I have noticed that this plant is more available throughout my small town and they are now much much cheaper. But oh well. I am super happy with this plant I got she is gorgeous.
Hello beautiful, Hi 🙋♀️ Lilly O yes we keep the prices away from the hubby’s for there own good 😏, girl you’ve learned so much from plants 🌱 I love all those plants on the background it just looks beautiful in your house full of life 🥰🥰
I have one of these Birkins, mine is huge it lives in a 3 gallon container. I got mine at LOWE'S, I MAKE a homemade liquid fertilizer out of worm castings, and epsom salts. I use 1 gallon of water from the sink ( let it set for 24 hours ) Then add 2 tablespoons of worm castings and 1 tablespoon of epsom salts, shake well. I use this on all of my house plants and they all seem to thrive. My Birkins has put off two shoots in 2 years, so I have repotted these in separate containers. So I guess you could say I've got 3 Birkins for the price of 1 and to think I got mine on clearance for $8.00
@@theplantingbug2045 She paid $12 and change, which is crazy because the plant is listed on their website as a 6 in 1 Philodendron for $43. Probably the fact that it was not labelled had something to do with it. They didn't know what they were dealing with at the store.
I just went through the same process today. Thanks to this video , I finnally found what type of plant this is. Took me all day lol, picked it up at my local grocery store for 17.99. I'm brand new to plants so I really had no idea what it was , as there was no tag. Took it home n googled it, all that Came up was Chinese evergreen. So excited to find what type so I can learn how to take proper care of him. He's absolutely stunning. One leaf (which is what cought my eye) has one side all green and the other the white and green strippy type look (not sure what that is called) some leaves have more white than green n vise virsa. With this burgendy-ish colour comming up the stems. I'm so inlove.
Facebook marketplace purchase, plant purge, lady moving, $5 each buy two get one three, so acquired a birken, a dracena, and an aloe with 14 inch leaves. Resold the aloe for the $10. I had spent, so free .
I love mine too. I actually just propagated mine I was scared to death to do it but I did it. Hope they turn out okay. I ended up with 3 total Birkins out of my one Birkin plant 👍🌱💚
It was my no. 1 wish list plant too. I was looking for it around town for a while so when I finally found it in our small town nursery I was beyond excited. I hope you are able to get one because they are gorgeous. Thanks for watching.
Omg.. your plants look soo gorgeous 😍 right now i feel really bad for my plants 🤭 I bought smaller Birkin last week, so it's still in "plant quarantine" with other new plants. I will use your tips.. hope the little one will thrive in my house 💚
She is large! I have three smaller ones (each about half size of yours) that I’ve planted together. They look dense and full together but I definitely wouldn’t complain if they could also get more height and larger leaves like yours!
Idk. My local Walmart here in Florida had quite a few of these plants. Mine was about $18 and I got it marked down on clearance at $8. They definitely are very beautiful plants. 🥰 Thank you for sharing this video!
That is a great price. I’m starting to notice them more in my home town and prices have gone down here on them as well. I agree they are beautiful plants.
I got very lucky with mine, got it for 10 bucks from the local big box store(in victoria Australia) nowhere near that big, but has put out 4 new leaves in the last 3 months!! One of my favourites, and so far relatively easy to look after.
That is amazing $10! Mine was a lot more than that but so worth it as it is one of my favorites I agree very easy plant to care for. I’ve been researching how to propagate this plant as it’s a little harder than other plants to propagate. But I will learn soon.
@@theplantingbug2045 I have a feeling they had put the wrong price on them, their problem not mine hahaha yeah the propagating seems a bit tricky, but again mine is much smaller so hopefully by the time its ready to propagate I'll know exactly how to do so.
Hi! Thank you so much for those tips and I personally recommend changing those glass bottles with water to plates - this will increase evaporation area, and provide higher humidity)
Hi there. Thanks so much. I have noticed most Birkins are like yours with the darker leaves and more green with less stripes on the bottom. Not sure why mine has such great variation on the leaves but I love it. Maybe has something to do with how bright the room is I have it in. But I’m not sure. I also just propagated this plant I was so nervous to cut it but it turned out great so happy I did and now I have three Birkins. Woohoo 👍
@ 3:08 ... hope your husband will not see the price still on the pot though 😂 I took the price off mine before taking her out of the car but it was waaayyyy less expensive than yours... but nevertheless, expensive for me. She is soooo gorgeous 🌹
Mine is a year old and grew quite well, but now only white leaves grow and they obviously die. I’ve heard that’s a common problem with grown up Birkins. At least they’re dirt cheap here in Germany, because the Netherlands are just across the border.
Mine right now is constantly getting new leafs. It’s crazy. I am looking to propagate mine soon. But I am nervous to do so. Prices here where I live aren’t as expensive so that is nice. But what a beautiful plant.
Sometimes a plant just captivates you and considering the joy it brings each day, it can be worth the extra spend. My Birkin is one of those plants for me. He’s half the size of yours but he’s bushy and has similar levels of variegation. I can wait to see how majestic they’ll get. 🪴 New subscriber and looking forward to watching more of your videos. Happy planting 😊
I 100% agree. I’m so excited you have one as well and with great variegation. It is such a beautiful plants. I hope your grows huge and gorgeous. Good luck with yours!!
Aren’t they gorgeous! With mine I a quickly finding out it’s very easy to care for and has produced a lot of new growth so exciting. Probably one of my favorites in my collection. Shhh don’t tell my other plants. 😂 Thanks for watching and good luck I hope you get your soon👍
Some say that the leaves start off green and develops stripes as they mature...🤔🤔.. mine is still in the nursery pot.. I've had it 2wks now. I'm in Michigan..its cold. I have it in a med light area near my kitchen. So, is it best to repot into a plastic pot or terra cotta?
I wonder if you have experience with your Birkin turning green and solid? Mine has been pushing out solid green leaves over the last few months. Is it too late to reverse it?
Well hey there new plant friend!! (I subbed) I love my birkins (I have 5 haha) selling 3 though lol yours is huge and gorgeous!!! I freakin love all philodendrons lol
I just got mine a few days ago and it was pretty cheap but way smaller than yours. Still love it though. How has yours been going in the winter months? Mine was in transit for 3 days in freezing temperatures so it showed up a bit battered. My main concern is that the tips of the leaves are curling down quite a bit, which is apparently a reaction to low humidity, so I'm just trying to let it rest in its new home and get the humidity up a bit - got it on top of a pebble tray, misting it very lightly and put a tray of water on top of my nearby radiator.
Awesome that you were able to get one so much cheaper than mine. I wish mine was cheaper. Lol. I bet yours will do better over time after it gets use to your home and it’s new environment. Mine has done great so far during the winter months. It’s actually ended up being one of my easier plants to care for. It’s actually had quite a bit of new growth on it. May need to replant it in the spring time. I wish you the best of luck on yours 👍👍
I think you may have a different variation of the Birkin I have. There is Red Congo versions that have some red stems etc. but I personally have not seen one in person. I have heard that the ones that are white striped like mine will lose its white stripes if it is not in a bright lite/sunny room. I’m sure yours is fine just a different variety.
Thanks for the video. You gave me courage to grow the philodendron birkin. I killed many philodendron varieties in the past and had stopped growing them for awhile. What is the fertilizer you use exactly?
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Good luck in frowning your next Philodendron! Honestly I am not great on fertilizer advice. Right now I just use miracle grow. Nothing fancy at all. But it is my biggest goal to learn and feel a lot more comfortable with using better fertilizers in the future.
@@kendal7433 I have heard that is a good one to use. I’ll have to give it a try. I don’t know why using fertilizer on plants scares me but it does. Lol
I spray all my plants but only once in a while. I think any humidity is good for plants but this plant for me at least isn’t super picky and does not require it all the time.
How long does it take your leafs to unfurl? I got one about a week ago and the same new leaf still hasn't unfurled. I feel like thats an unusually long time....
What was the price?? Im so curious now😂i didn't know they were rare...i got a 6in for $10 at Freddy's in one of the most expensive cities in the US!😁I'm cool with that!😎🍃
I live in Utah so for me this is a rare plant that I have been trying to find here locally for a while. It was expensive I hate to even say but it was more than $60 ugh!!! 🤦♀️ I wish mine was only $10. It’s actually quit sad because I am seeing the pricing on plants especially more popular ones go up in pricing quit a bit. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. 💚
@@theplantingbug2045 wow. what a price. wish covid gone soon so.u can visit malaysia. you will be shocked to see the prices here. after conversion the size that you are holding is only 6usd. do an online shop reaction vid. it will be fun seeing diff prices in diff countries.
You are sooo lucky so got your Birkin for only $10... its still at least $30, for a juvenile , here in the Philippines. The first Birkin I saw was priced at $50. And it was just a juvenile!!!
@@Sarah-qj6tu what a great idea. I should try that! Yes it is crazy how expensive plant prices can reach here in the U.S. thanks for watching and leaving this comment! 💚🌱
depends on where u plant it. i hv mine in a big pot and it grew more than half a metre. i think thats as big as it can get. ive transferred mine to ground but it remains the same size.
Hello new plant friend here I really enjoyed this video I don’t yet have the Birkins in my collection but definitely on my wishlist. I can’t wait to checkout more of your content and I would love if you can join me over on my channel as well where I post mostly about plants. Thank you so much for sharing and happy growing.💚🌿
Thanks so much for watching! It is one of my favorite plants for sure and surprisingly easy to care for 👍 I’ll head over to your channel and return the love. Thanks again for watching!!

I just got one of these for $14 at my local Grocery store 😅 lmk if you need tropicals on the low lmaooo
Nice. I noticed one the other day at my grocery store too.
How long does it take your leafs to unfurl? I got one about a week ago and the same new leaf still hasn't unfurled. I feel like thats an unusually long time....
Hi there!! I agree it does take a while for it to unfurl. I want to say my most recent leaf took a full month to unfurl.
Am frm Kerala. Found it in nearby shop for 300 rup. Thought its costly and didnt buy. Nw i understd its nt that high. Gng to buy it
Yes they can get high in price but I think they are worth it. Such a beautiful plant! Good luck with yours when you buy it!!
What was the price?? Im so curious now😂i didn't know they were rare...i got a 6in for $10 at Freddy's in one of the most expensive cities in the US!😁I'm cool with that!😎🍃
I live in Utah so for me this is a rare plant that I have been trying to find here locally for a while. It was expensive I hate to even say but it was more than $60 ugh!!! 🤦♀️
I wish mine was only $10. It’s actually quit sad because I am seeing the pricing on plants especially more popular ones go up in pricing quit a bit. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. 💚
@@theplantingbug2045 wow. what a price. wish covid gone soon so.u can visit malaysia. you will be shocked to see the prices here. after conversion the size that you are holding is only 6usd. do an online shop reaction vid. it will be fun seeing diff prices in diff countries.
You are sooo lucky so got your Birkin for only $10... its still at least $30, for a juvenile , here in the Philippines. The first Birkin I saw was priced at $50. And it was just a juvenile!!!
@@Sarah-qj6tu what a great idea. I should try that! Yes it is crazy how expensive plant prices can reach here in the U.S. thanks for watching and leaving this comment! 💚🌱
@@belindanadela4203 I agree. I would of freaked out if I got mine for only $10. That’s amazing!
my wishlist plant 😢
It was mine too and too expensive where I live but I gave in and bought this one. 👍
try lowes
How big do they get?
depends on where u plant it. i hv mine in a big pot and it grew more than half a metre. i think thats as big as it can get. ive transferred mine to ground but it remains the same size.
Indoor philodendron birkin plants can grow from a foot and a half to three feet in height.
Hello new plant friend here I really enjoyed this video I don’t yet have the Birkins in my collection but definitely on my wishlist. I can’t wait to checkout more of your content and I would love if you can join me over on my channel as well where I post mostly about plants. Thank you so much for sharing and happy growing.💚🌿
Thanks so much for watching! It is one of my favorite plants for sure and surprisingly easy to care for 👍
I’ll head over to your channel and return the love. Thanks again for watching!!
Does your husband watch your videos? Cause if so He's probably gonna see the price because I did
I noticed that too. No he doesn’t. He isn’t much into TH-cam. Lol.
I got mine today for £4.99
Isn’t it crazy how prices for certain plants are so high in some areas but not in others.
I sometimes wanna get some plants my self but then I’m scared that they’ll die on me 🥺,
I was scared to at first and they don’t all live but for the most part plants are super easy girl.
Ikr, I had two beautiful plants previously anf they both died and now.....I have this beautiful Philodendron anf I don't want it to die on me either. 😫😫
@@BlessedL-yr5lc good luck with your plant. Hope it survives for ya 💚🌱
No entiendo nada...
These look like a Canna Lily. I don't find them attractive at all. Buying a canna will save you money and you can enjoy the bloom.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. I’ve never seen a Canna Lily. I’ll have to check them out 👍
