# Hey! I got this plant as a gift a few days ago. I’m pretty new to…

Hey! I got this plant as a gift a few days ago. I’m pretty new to plants but I think this is a philodendron birkin. It looks like it is growing a new leaf, but the leaf looks kinda pink? I wasn’t sure if this was normal or maybe some kind of problem?

Yup mine puts out some pink spots on the leaves and stems and when it matures it turns dark green
