Care Plan for Philodendron Jose Buono
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its variegation. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. Lower light conditions may lead to less pronounced variegation.
Watering: Allow the top 2–3 cm of soil to dry out before watering. Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy. Reduce watering in cooler months.
Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity (60%+). Benefits from occasional misting or the use of a humidifier in drier environments.
Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures between 18–27°C. Avoid exposure to temperatures below 12°C.
Soil: Well-draining, chunky aroid mix with orchid bark, perlite, and peat or coco coir for aeration and moisture retention.
Fertiliser: Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 2–4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in autumn and winter.
Support: A moss pole or stake can encourage larger leaf growth and better overall structure.
