# I picked up this pretty thing today. it’s labeled as just…

_Posted by Laura on 2025-07-01_

I picked up this pretty thing today. it’s labeled as just Philodendron. Can someone tell me what kind it is so I can take good care of her? I am still learning the varieties of Philodendron. I bought it  
at Lowe’s so of course no one there could help me.

It looks like a Philo Birkin

I looked that up and at first I thought no it’s not striped enough but then I realized these are baby leaves and so yes I think you are right. Thank you.

Definitely looks like our Birkin! Some of the leaves on ours (esp the older ones I think) aren’t as striped like yours!

#### Laura replied on 2025-07-07

I’m hoping to see some new leaves with more stripes soon!

Looks like a birkin to me!
