Hey! My Birkin has never done this. The new leaf is more brown than it looks in the photos. Any ideas of what’s going on?

    So from what I understand, birkins are a mutation selectively propagated from red congo philodendron. So sometimes the genes have a blip and show that non-variegated red congo look. It should go back to making birkin leaves, but if it goes full red congo, you can cut it back to the last full birkin leaf and let it start again

      Oh that makes sense, thank you.
