Philodendron Jose Buono

Philodendron ‘Jose Buono’ is a unique and eye-catching cultivar of the popular houseplant genus Philodendron. This plant features large, glossy leaves that are a deep green color with vibrant splashes of bright yellow. The variegation on this plant is especially striking, making it a popular choice for those looking to add a pop of color to their indoor spaces. ‘Jose Buono’ is a relatively easy-to-care-for plant, and it can thrive in a range of light conditions, although it prefers bright, indirect light.
 
Lighting & Placement
When placed indoors, Philodendron Jose Buono thrives in a well-lit room that receives 6-8 hours of sun in the morning to early afternoon. Morning sun is ideal because harsh afternoon sun can burn the leaves. If you prefer to have your plant outside, make sure to protect it from direct sunlight, which can damage the leaves.
 
 
Watering
The watering practice you follow for your Philodendron Jose Buono is important because they are prone to root rot. You want to make sure that your plant is ready for water & not leave excess water for the roots to marinate in. Water when the top 1″ of the soil is dry.
 
Temperature & Humidity
The optimal temperature for your Jose Buono is 70°-80° F. The plant can tolerate temperatures down to 55°F, but lower than 50°F can cause permanent damage to your plant. If you keep your plant outdoors, be sure to protect it from frost — this plant cannot withstand freezing temperatures.
 
Used to the high humidity of the rainforest, Jose Buono needs a 60-80% relative humidity to grow well. In lower humidities, you’ll notice browning of the leaf tips or leaves failing to unsheathe. If you notice this happening, you may consider a humidifier.
