Philodendron 'Birkin' ('White Measure')

Philodendron 'Birkin' is a compact, self-heading Philodendron with dark green leaves and fine pale striping. Its pinstripe pattern and upright growth give it a tidy profile in indoor pots, while the short stems keep the plant denser than many climbing Philodendron.

The plant grows from short, upright stems with thick petioles. New leaves can open with softer striping and deepen in contrast as they mature, while each leaf carries its own pattern.

Birkin traits and growth habit

  • Growth habit: Compact, self-heading Philodendron with upright stems and short internodes.
  • Leaf pattern: Dark green leaves carry fine white, cream, yellowish, or light green pinstripes.
  • Leaf variation: Every leaf develops its own stripe density, so the plant changes gradually as it grows.
  • Indoor size: Usually remains compact in pots, with slower, tighter growth when root space is limited.
  • Flowering: Mature plants can produce a spathe and spadix inflorescence indoors, but flowering is uncommon in typical home conditions.

Compact stems and striped leaves

Philodendron 'Birkin' develops as a dense, upright plant. The stems remain short, and the petioles hold leaves outward from the centre, so the pinstriped blades sit clearly around the crown as the plant fills out.

The pale striping sits within the leaf tissue and varies naturally. Some leaves may be strongly striped, while others may be greener or more lightly marked.

Growing Philodendron 'Birkin' indoors

  • Light: Place in bright filtered light. Strong direct sun can scorch the leaves, especially where the pale striping is broad.
  • Watering: Water when the upper part of the substrate has dried. Keep moisture even, then let excess water drain completely.
  • Substrate: Use a loose aroid mix with bark, coco coir or chips, perlite, pumice, and a small moisture-retentive fraction.
  • Drainage: Keep the plant in a pot with drainage holes and avoid dense, collapsed substrate around the central stem and lower roots.
  • Humidity: Around 50–60% or higher supports smooth leaf expansion and reduces dry tips on new growth.
  • Temperature: Keep between 18–28°C. Avoid cold draughts and cold wet substrate, which can slow the central growing point.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced houseplant fertiliser. Reduce feeding when new leaves slow down.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots fill the pot or watering becomes difficult to balance. Move up gradually to avoid excess wet substrate.
  • Pruning: Remove yellow, damaged, or weak leaves close to the stem with clean tools.
  • Semi-hydroponics: Can adapt to airy mineral substrates if roots are cleaned carefully and the central stem stays above the wet zone.
  • Propagation: Use a cutting or division with a viable node and growth point. A single detached leaf cannot become a new plant.

Common issues with Philodendron 'Birkin'

  • Yellowing leaves: Check whether the mix is staying wet for too long. Improve drainage and let the upper substrate dry further before watering again.
  • Brown tips: Often linked to dry air, irregular moisture, fertiliser buildup, or stressed roots. Flush the substrate and stabilise watering.
  • Small new leaves: Check light, root space, and feeding. A compact plant can still slow down when the root ball is depleted.
  • Weak central growth: Inspect the crown and upper roots for rot if new leaves emerge soft, distorted, or unusually pale.
  • Greener new growth: Some leaves may emerge with weaker striping or more green tissue. Remove fully reverted growth back to a healthy patterned point if plain green leaves continue.
  • Pest damage: Thrips, mites, scale, and mealybugs can hide around petioles and new leaves. Check closely if striping becomes scarred or growth twists.

Managing mature growth

Philodendron 'Birkin' keeps a more even shape when the pot is turned occasionally and the plant is not pushed into an oversized container. Older leaves can be removed once they yellow naturally, while healthy leaves are best left in place unless the plant needs reshaping.

If the plant becomes uneven, refresh the shape by removing weak or damaged growth. Stronger correction is best done during active growth, when the plant has enough light and warmth to produce new leaves from the central growing point.

Safety around pets and children

Keep Philodendron 'Birkin' away from pets and children. Like other Philodendron, it contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth, throat, digestive tract, and sensitive skin. Wear gloves if you react to aroid sap, and wash hands after pruning.

Philodendron genus and Birkin names

Philodendron belongs to the Araceae family. The genus name is commonly translated from Greek roots as “tree-loving”, reflecting the tree-associated growth seen in many Philodendron. The names 'White Wave' and 'White Measure' are also used for this compact pinstriped cultivated Philodendron.

Philodendron 'Birkin' stays compact and upright, with pale striping that shifts naturally from leaf to leaf as the plant matures.

Really nice and unique watch
Color: Black/Black/Black
This watch really caught my eye on Amazon. Every once in awhile you order an item and it looks better in person than it does in a picture. This is one of those items. It looks really great in person! I collect mostly unique watches that look different than a normal watch. What is really unique about this watch is that it has 2 separate second hands. One that is always ticking for the time and another one that starts going with the Chronograph. Not sure I've ever seen that on another watch. Sure I've seen subdials that do this, but this is 2 full size second hands. And they look different also so they don't get confused. I've never seen this one in a store which is a shame because I think Timex has some great watches right now and I don't think a lot of people know about them.

nice but.
So, this really is a nice watch and if you can get it on sale it's a bargain. The bracelet is junk, with hollow end links. I would recommend replacing that with some type of fabric or rubber type strap. The reason I took one star off is because the chrono function isn't the best style. If you don't plan to use it much or only plan to use it for 10 minutes or less that's fine. More than that and the minutes counter flies back to zero and starts counting again which can be confusing and the next register is the combo 24hr and chrono minutes/hours counter which isn't easy to use for timing say 30 minutes or so. The standard type chrono counters are way better by design and Timex sells another one with standard counters with neat multicolored registers for less money. Otherwise it's a solid watch comfortable to wear not too big or thick or heavy. Of course it has mineral glass for the xtl so you need to be careful or it will scratch pretty easily but for the price.....

Value-packed chrono offers so much
I love this watch. Dial and movement are fascinating. It’s quite a show when the chrono is engaged, the timekeeping central seconds hand conyinues sweeping around, and the chrono’s central seconds hand is also sweeping. So you have two central seconds hands chasing each other around the dial when the chrono is engaged. On the retrograde subdial displays, time for a second time zone is displayed when chrono is not engaged. Elegant logo counterweight on one hand. Lots of content, complication and engagement for very little money. Highest recommendation for those interested in a watch that has a lot to offer.
