Light: Bright indirect light. Keep Philodendron Birkin plant in a bright location, but not in direct sun which can scorch its leaves. Give your plant a quarter turn every week or so to expose all sides to sunlight. Don't have a sunny window? It thrives under fluorescent light, making it an ideal office plant.
Water: Water thoroughly, then allow the top 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) to dry before watering again. Sticking your finger in the potting mix is one way to tell whether your plant needs watering; however, a houseplant moisture meter is more accurate. Over-watering will cause leaves to turn yellow and may ultimately lead to root rot. With Philodendron Birkin care should be taken to use room-temperature water, because cold water is a shock to this tropical houseplant.
Humidity: Tolerant of dry air, but this tropical likes humidity. Try to maintain 45% relative humidity or higher. Check out these easy ways to raise the humidity around your tropical plants. Brown leaf tips are a symptom of dry air.
Temperature: Average to warm room temperatures (70-80°F/21-27°C) is ideal year-round. This warm-natured Philodendron will tolerate a minimum of 60°F/16°C.
Soil: Peat-moss based potting mix with added perlite to prevent soggy potting mix.
Fertilizer: Feed every 6 weeks spring through fall with a high-nitrogen water-soluble fertilizer that includes micronutrients. Don't feed in winter, when growth is slower.
