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.

Loved this book !!!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Great information!!! Erin answered alot of questions I had about MTR. I was able to implement some things she had recommended in her book. No joke, I got my first tenant the following weekend. I still have some questions about minor things but vía her you tube channel I know I will find the answer. One more thing, she will send you a copy of the lease she uses and the welcome letter she provides her tenant if you send her a picture of the book to her email. That helped a lot! I recommend this book. Go get your copy. Worth it!!!!!

I really enjoyed Erin's podcast on YouTube and wanted to be able to look up the information she was sharing. The book had large enough print for easy ready, clear chapters and direct points. Looking forward to using it as a reference.

Informative
Format: Kindle
I am new to midterm renting but this book has been extremely enlightening. It has given me the needed confidence to pursue midterm rentals. I came into this thinking just of traveling nurses but Erin helped me see the broader picture. This is a great resource for anyone considering getting into property investment, particularly midterm or even short term rental. Her advice is practical as well as entertaining.

Erin's book was a lifesaver.
Format: Audiobook
Erin's book was a lifesaver. We couldn't sell our house so we decided to Midterm rent it. The book covers all the essentials and most importantly makes you think that you can do this. After reading the book and listening to her youtube channel, I booked a consulting call with Erin and it was fantastic. Erin is well worth taking advice from.
