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.

Maybe a bit short on sides?
Size: King, Color: Blue Chambray
Really soft, but the sides are short for a king size bed. Plenty of length. So I’ve had to turn it sideways. Maybe it got sewn wrong?

Wish the sides were longer
Size: King, Color: Blue Chambray
I love jersey knit sheets. They are comfortable in all temperatures. These do not disappoint particularly for the cost. Unfortunately the top king size sheet is too small, with only just barely enough drop, on the sides. Length wise they are fine.

Very Comfortable but NOT As Expected for Multiple Reasons
Size: Queen, Color: Teal
I purchased my first Briarwood Home Jersey Queen Sheets June 2018 and was very pleased with the quality and how comfortable they are. The 2nd set I recently received (Oct. 2019) is VERY inferior compared to the first set. So inferior I would consider them defective. The fitted sheet is very very small and "barely" fits on my standard queen mattress regardless of which way I turn it. This was not an issue with 1st set. I have to really pull hard in order to get it to fit over my standard queen mattress. Luckily I don't have a pillow top mattress otherwise it probably would not fit at all. Plus, it's so tight the fitted sheet does not tuck under the mattress. Very surprised since the 1st set I have had no issues. Also, the flat sheet is MUCH smaller compared to first set. only about 3" hangs over side of mattress where other flat sheet hangs almost to bottom of box spring. Minor observation; the 1st set had a Briarwood Home tag on outside of pillow cases. The 2nd set does not have that tag. I also want to add that these seem thinner than the first set since I can see mattress cover through them and pillow case cover,,, but the translucent appearance could be because the 2nd set is white and the 1st set was teal. Overall VERY disappointed. I was going to order a grey set but WILL NOT due to these issues. I did email the Briarwood Home customer service today and hope they offer a resolution. NOTE: The customer service phone number goes straight to voicemail and then states the mailbox is full. This is the 2nd time I tried calling with same results so your only option is to send an email. I find that to be suspicious. I will update when I hear back,,, or don't hear back. UPDATE 2-13-2020: NEVER RECEIVED RESPONSE FROM BRIARWOOD. I WILL NEVER ORDER SHEETS FROM BRIARWOOD AGAIN. INSTEAD, SINCE THE 2ND SET OF BRIARWOOD SHEETS BARELY FIT MY STD. QUEEN BED I ORDERED ANOTHER SET OF QUEEN JERSEY COTTON SHEETS FROM: Road Trip America Cozy, T-Shirt Soft 100% Organic Cotton Jersey Knit, GOTS-Certified, Solid Color Bed Sheet Set (White, Queen). They have not arrived but I will provide a review after I receive them.

Soft but they shrink
Size: King, Color: Blue Chambray
Super comfy and soft but the shrink easily and even with stretching dont cover the whole mattress. Still really like the sheets just wish they had deeper pockets/sides to help with shrinking.
