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.

Your high-energy dog will love it!
Why did I wait so long to get one of these?!? I am the stereotypical throws-like-a-girl person, and my dog really needs to have an option that forces her to run far and fast. This is it. I can get that ball half a soccer field away at a minimum if I want. The ball is super bouncy, which adds an element of fun to her attempts to tame it and bring it back. Super worth the money (which wasn't much!). I've never had one of these before, so can't compare to the non-folding version. This one is easy to carry and fits in a drawer for storrage. No way you can fit it in a pocket, especially if you have a phone in one and dog treats in the other.

Great usability
I prefer this version over the non-foldable stick, as this one I can fit into my bag and carry it out easily. Great size and has a locking feature to prevent it from folding up when throwing. Highly recommend, my dogs love fetch and it is hard to chew if they get their hands on it.

Almost Perfect
If you’ve ever seen these things, the foldable ones are just as good as the standard ones. I just wish when you folded it up there was a way to lock it into that position. When you unfold it to play, you lock it into place with the orange locking slide so it doesn’t fold up on you. But when you’re done playing and fold it up, there’s no way to lock it into that position, it can keep unfolding if you carry it around with you, plus the orange locking slide keeps sliding up and down. It’s not a huge deal, but they could’ve made it better.
