yellow leaves on Philodendron Birkin
Quick answer
If your Philodendron Birkin has yellow leaves, the most likely cause is: Philodendron leaves yellow when heat is too high, humidity is too low, fresh air is inadequate, or the soil is kept either too dry or too wet — the same cultural faults that affect other philodendrons also yellow the variegated foliage of the Birkin cultivar.
Start here:
- 1. Move the plant away from hot radiators or cold drafts, raise humidity by misting foliage weekly with tepid water, and refresh the air in the room regularly.
- 2. Adjust watering so the soil is lightly moist in spring through autumn and only the surface dries between waterings in winter, allowing excess water to drain freely from the pot.
