Probably reverting. Birkin is a complex hybrid, so it's probably just taking after one of its parent species

😳 woah

Not enough light to sustain the variegation so it reverted. Birkin is a hybrid of a Congo which is what you’re seeing showing up. Congo is the original trait.

Wow! I have a birken. Thanks for that information in case I see something of the sort with mine!

### HFC commented on 2025-08-04

So cool! My mom has one that is similar but has leaves that are big and reddish glossy like the Congo, but half like the Birkin. Cool to see just one wild leaf in the middle of the other typical leaves.

It’s gorgeous! I’m not sure what it’s doing.
