Philodendron 'Jose Buono'

Philodendron 'Jose Buono' is a large-leaved variegated Philodendron grown for thick, oval to elongated leaves marked with cream, yellow-green, and deep green marbling. Mature leaves can become broad and substantial, with a heavier texture than many narrow-leaved variegated Philodendrons. Each leaf develops its own balance of colour, so one plant may carry fine speckling, broad pale sectors, and cleaner green leaves at the same time.

The plant develops a thick climbing stem with active aerial roots. A vertical support gives the nodes contact points and helps mature leaves sit better as they enlarge.

  • Growth habit: Climbing Philodendron with aerial roots and a stem that benefits from a moss pole, coir pole, or similar support.
  • Leaf shape: Thick, oval to elongated leaves with a broad surface and a firm feel as the plant matures.
  • Variegation: Cream, yellow-green, and green markings vary naturally from leaf to leaf.
  • Container behaviour: Can produce larger leaves indoors when the root zone stays airy and the stem has support.

Thick oval leaves on a climbing stem

A pole or similar support keeps the stem upright and gives aerial roots a surface to attach to. This matters most once the leaves become heavier and the vine starts carrying more mature growth.

The variegated areas contain less chlorophyll than the green parts of the leaf, so the plant depends on healthy roots and enough green tissue for steady growth. Large pale sectors are attractive, but they are also more sensitive to harsh sun, heat, and inconsistent watering.

Light, water and support for Jose Buono

  • Light: Give bright filtered light. Direct midday sun can scorch pale variegated sections, especially on newer leaves.
  • Watering: Water when the upper 3–5 cm of substrate feel dry. Rehydrate the root ball evenly, then let excess water drain fully.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky aroid mix with bark, coco chips, perlite or pumice, and a modest moisture-holding component.
  • Humidity: Moderate to high humidity supports smoother unfurling, especially while large new leaves are expanding.
  • Temperature: Keep it warm, ideally around 20–28°C. Avoid cold wet substrate, which can damage active roots.
  • Support: Tie the stem loosely at the nodes and guide aerial roots toward the pole before the vine becomes heavy.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced fertiliser. Heavy feeding can mark pale leaf tissue and stress the roots.

Leaf marks, small growth and root stress

  • Brown marks on pale sections: Check sun exposure, dry air, and heat near windows. Move the plant into filtered light and stabilise moisture.
  • Small new leaves: Check whether the stem has support, whether roots are active, and whether light is strong enough for climbing growth.
  • Soft yellowing leaves: Check for wet, compacted substrate. Let the mix dry slightly further and improve aeration if drainage is poor.
  • Distorted new growth: Inspect the newest leaves and cataphylls for thrips or mealybugs, then isolate and treat promptly if pests are present.

Pet and child safety

Philodendron 'Jose Buono' is not pet-safe. Like other Philodendrons, it contains calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth, throat, stomach, and skin if chewed or handled roughly. Keep it away from pets and children, and wash your hands after pruning or removing damaged leaves.

Family and name background

Philodendron belongs to the Araceae family, with a native range across tropical America. The genus name comes from Greek roots commonly translated as “loving” and “tree,” a reference that fits many climbing Philodendrons with aerial roots.

Philodendron 'Jose Buono' develops thick oval leaves, cream-green marbling and a climbing stem that can be trained upward.

Love These Balls
Color: H) 2.5" 3-Pack (Beef), Color: H) 2.5" 3-Pack (Beef)
These are great balls. My Border Collie can destroy a tennis ball in a couple of hours and the Kong brand ball is heavier than I like to play with in the house. These balls hold up to her biting and chewing but are lite weight and softer for bouncing off the walls.

Seems durable - but the scent is not the best
Color: B) 3" 2-Pack (Bacon)
I don't know if I'd call the scent of this "bacon," more like rubber with a hint of bacon. It's very strong. I gave my dog one of the balls & put one in a cabinet where I keep his treats & a few other unrelated odds & ends. I now hold my breath when I open that cabinet b/c good lord, the smell. I'm tempted to just give that one to the dog too, just because it'll air out eventually & then everything else in that cabinet won't smell bad. My dog feels so-so about it. He'll briefly chase after it & chew on it, but loses interest in it pretty fast. My rather hyperactive cat also plays with it from time to time, as he seems to have more interest in most dog toys than the dog these days, so there's that. (Then again, he thinks a wide variety of random items around the house are loads of fun to toss about, so it's possible his opinion is to be taken with a grain of salt. Between the brief periods of one of these balls being chewed on & clawed at, it's stayed completely intact. I think if you have a dog who simply likes to play fetch or chew on rubber balls in general, this one would stand up to the task. But if you're expecting it to be greeted with the enthusiasm as a bacon grease covered ball might be - I'd adjust your expectations.

My dogs favorite toy so far in two years
Color: C) 4" 2-Pack (Bacon)
I use this with my medium sized dog. These are large for him but that's what I want so I don't ever have to think about them being too small or a swallow hazard. He has been through A LOT OF TOYS in the last couple years, but nothing, NOTHING has he loved as much as these. His favorite used to be squeaker balls. Then his favorite was crackle balls. But he will gladly ignore both for this one. I don't know if it's the bacon flavor or what, but he go nuts for it.

Bacon? IDK but good stuff either way
Color: C) 4" 2-Pack (Bacon)
What is there to say? they're giant 4" rubber balls from the Chew King brand which is very durable brand. The best part is they don't roll under couches, side boards, etc cause they're just big enough.
