This plant looks like a birkin on top but not on the bottom? Thoughts?

Birken will push out leaves without stripes if its stressed or not getting enough light
0 gillningarOk. Good to know. I didn't think the shape of the bottom leaves was birkin looking either. Now that I know I'll move him to better light
0 gillningarBirkin often revert back to pre hybrid days. I’ve seen many in the stores that hardly look like Birkins.
0 gillningarMakes sense. This little guy was a total rescue. Planta was telling me its everything BUT a philodendron. So I've just been watering and increasing his light and voila. Birkin. Lol
0 gillningarFacebook, the source of misinformation about everything, claims more light will help. But I have two Birkins side by side, same light, same care, and one is putting out all kinds of weird leaves, which means it’s reverting. Idc though cause I think it makes the plant more interesting. But increase the light, see what happens. I can also be wrong.
1 gillaDef agree. I don't mind at all. Was just curious about what it was.
0 gillningarMy birkin puts out striped leaves and as they age they turn solid.
0 gillningarthe variegation of birkins is highly unstable. i've had my birkin revert and then pop out a variegated leaf a month later. confusing and annoying 🙄 i've learned to let it go and do whatever it wants
