# I found this leaf on my birkin. I initially thought it was an older…

I found this leaf on my birkin. I initially thought it was an older leaf because I saw the underside first. I saw a post somewhere about birkins reverting. Has anyone else experienced this before with their birkin? I’ll probably separate the ones in this pot to ensure they get more light.

One of mine does that frequently. It then usually turns dark green. It also puts out leaves that are mostly white. You have other leaves there that have reverted-the solid green ones. But mine have those too. You are lucky your plant doesn’t have the notorious Birkin brown spots. Both of mine do.

Thanks for the info. I’ve separated the plants so hopefully I get striped leaves again.

Reverkin strikes again!
