{"product_id":"philodendron-birkin-white-measure","title":"Philodendron birkin 'White Measure'","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePhilodendron Birkin is also called 'White Measure' because of the prominent white stripes across its leaves. The fast-growing, striking leaves will brighten up any room, and display a splash of delicate colour for an extra lift and style. Its variegations are also of a type known as 'unstable', meaning that while they mostly show white pinstripes, they can produce wholly white leaves or even, more rarely, some pink colouring, showing its origins as a variant sprung from Philodendron Rojo Congo. Whatever colours you see, this plant is a stunning addition to any collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScientific Name\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003ePhilodendron (tree-hugger)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Names\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWhite Wave\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eTropical areas of South\/Central America (although this species is a hybrid or mutation that does not appear in the wild!)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlace in moderate to bright indirect light.
