Philodendron Jose Buono #3

The Philodendron Jose Buono variegated is a stunning rare climbing variety within the Philodendron family. It's beautiful multi-coloured variegation makes every leaf an exciting surprise. 

The Philodendron Jose Buono variegated requires birght, indirect light. Exposing it to direct light can cause sunburn to the lighter variegation part of the leaves. Too little light can cause the variegation to revert. 

Philodendrons like their top 3-5 centimeters (or 25-30%) of soil to dry out before watering it again. They like their soil to stay moist, but sitting in soaked soil too long can cause root rot. We prefer to use clear container pots so we can monitor the soil en roots. 

The Philodendron Jose Buono will thrive in a roomhumidity between 60-80% and a consistent roomtemperture between 13°C and 27°C.

During the growing season (spring and summer) the plant would appreciate to be fed with a (liquid) fertilizer every 2-4 weeks. During the winter dormancy period the plant does not need to be fertilized (or it should be heavily diluted). 

As it is a natural climbing plant, it will need a mosspole, a wooden plank or a plantstick to help it mature and grow bigger leaves.
