{"product_id":"philodendron-jose-buono-collectable","title":"Philodendron 'Jose Buono'","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eThe Philodendron ‘Jose Buono’ is a striking variegated aroid with large, paddle-shaped leaves marbled in cream, white, and multiple shades of green. No two leaves are the same, with some showing big blocks of cream and others a finer speckled pattern, so every plant feels like a one-off piece in your collection. It is a climbing Philodendron, so as it matures and is given proper support, the leaves can become impressively large and architectural.  This is a fantastic choice if you love statement foliage and want a rare but forgiving plant that still fits well into a home environment.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy you’ll love it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBold, variegated foliage with creamy-white, mint, and green marbling—no two leaves are alike.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNaturally climbing habit that produces larger, more dramatic leaves when given a moss pole or totem.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eConsidered a rare \/ collector’s Philodendron, but still relatively tolerant and suitable for intermediate plant keepers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrows to an impressive height indoors (around 1.5–1.8 m with support) and becomes a true focal point in the room.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVariegation holds best in bright, indirect light, rewarding good care with beautifully patterned new leaves.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eBright, indirect light is ideal to maintain strong variegation; avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the lighter leaf sections, and avoid very low light, which may reduce variegation and slow growth.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWater when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry, allowing the mix to partially dry between waterings while never staying soggy; reduce frequency slightly in the cooler months while still keeping some gentle moisture in the root zone.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHumidity:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePrefers higher humidity around 60–80% for best growth and leaf quality, but will usually tolerate average indoor humidity; if your air is dry, a humidifier or grouping with other plants will help.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAim for 20–28 °C and keep it above about 15 °C; protect it from cold draughts, unheated rooms in winter, and hot, dry blasts from heaters or air conditioning.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eUse a chunky, free-draining Aroid Mix (for example, a blend with orchid bark, perlite, and quality compost) so the roots get both air and consistent moisture without sitting in water.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupport:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThis is a climbing Philodendron and will really shine with a moss pole, coir totem, or similar vertical support; training it to climb encourages bigger leaves, better variegation, and a tidier, more upright form.
