💡 Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Too little light can reduce the variegation, while direct sun may scorch the leaves.
💧 Water: Keep the soil lightly moist. Allow the top few centimetres of soil to dry before watering again, Birkins dislike sitting in soggy soil.
🌱 Humidity: Appreciates moderate to high humidity. Regular misting or a nearby humidifier will keep the foliage lush and glossy.
🌡️ Temperature: Prefers warmth between 18-28 °C. Keep away from cold draughts and sudden temperature changes.
🚫 Toxicity: Toxic if ingested, keep out of reach of pets and small children.
🌿 Top Tip: Rotate your Birkin regularly to encourage even growth and maintain its gorgeous variegation pattern. Dust the leaves gently to keep that signature white sheen shining bright.
