Philodendron Birkin Care - The Complete Guide

[@williamlaine2116]

I have viewed several videos on care for the Birkin & some say that it is a slow to medium grower & some say that misting helps humidify them. Others say that it is not very prone to pests. Some say it is easy to grow. I have had two, both of which had leaves start from white to brown to dead. A skilled gardener friend has also given up on them. Today, I bought one on clearance at Wal-Mart for $5, which looks viable, for one more try. I have many varieties of Philodendrons, but this is the most difficult I have tried to grow.

What is the cause of yellowing and falling leaves? Thank you for the video. It's great❤

[@Plantophiles]

Mosty, the reason for yellow leaves is overwatering.

I live in Michigan and it's almost winter and some days we have not a lot of sun.... How should I fix this problem??

[@PetersayPeterdo]

I wonder how you get yours to stand up like this? Mine looks very healthy, but has to be supported otherwise it lays down flat

I have one , can i grow it in water or pon instead of soil? thanks

[@Plantophiles]

Hi Amal. Thanks for the question. Absolutely pon or water will work great. I suggest you to use pon such as Lechuza pon as pon is great to grow Philodendron in. You can also grow it in water but then you need to change the water frequently and I would also suggest using an air pump. Growing in water should not be a long-term solution in most cases. Although done right it would be possible.
