that's just another birkin! lol. the variegation is unstable and the new growth is often red. birkins are philos.

Even with the pinkish petioles?

#### plantgeek replied on 2026-07-21

yurp. they probably just haven't hardened off yet

### Phil commented on 2026-07-21

Agree totally with plantgeek. Birkins are just a weird plant and shoot out any color they want.

### Mel commented on 2026-07-21

Huh..okay cool. Lol. I guess Ill leave them potted together

### Mel commented on 2026-07-21

So weird!! Even the leaf shape is so different, google agrees too, birkin. 🙃..

Is it reverting back to a Congo? I don’t know much about them. Mine has stayed the same since I’ve had it but I have seen and read on this app they revert back.

### Mel commented on 2026-07-22

Its my first, I just bought it yesterday. I thought it was a different plant in the same pot. Maybe I will separate them
