Philodendron Jose Buono 6cm

🌿 Philodendron ‘Jose Buono’ Care Guide

The Jose Buono is a true statement plant—large, paddle-shaped leaves splashed with creamy white variegation that looks hand-painted. Bold, tropical, and a little bit rare, it’s the kind of plant that turns heads and becomes the star of any collection.

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light to keep variegation crisp

• Can adapt to medium light, but new leaves may show less white

• Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the creamy patches

💧 Water

• Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry

• Keep soil lightly moist but not soggy

• Loves a chunky, well-draining mix to protect its roots

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers medium to high humidity

• Perfectly fine in normal home conditions but grows happiest with a little boost

• A humidifier or regular misting can encourage bigger leaves

🍽️ Feeding

• Balanced fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer

• Reduce or skip feeding in autumn and winter

🌱 Quick Tips

• Rotate regularly so it grows evenly

• Train it to climb a moss pole for bigger, more dramatic leaves

• Not pet-safe—keep away from cats and dogs
