    Philodendron Jose Bueno

    Botanical Name: Philodendron imbe var. ilsemanii

    Common Name(s): Jose Bueno Philodendron, Variegated Jose Bueno

    The Philodendron Jose Bueno is a rare and breathtaking aroid known for its large, paddle-shaped leaves that feature striking variegation. Each leaf is uniquely marbled with creamy whites, soft yellows, and varying shades of green, giving the plant a bold and artistic appearance. The foliage can reach impressive sizes, often over 18 inches long, and becomes even more dramatic as the plant matures, making it a prized specimen among collectors and tropical plant enthusiasts.

    This philodendron is a climbing variety and benefits from vertical support such as a moss pole, trellis, or totem. As a climber, it grows upright rather than spreading along the ground, and with the right care, it can reach heights of 4–6 feet or more indoors. The variegation becomes more defined and consistent in bright, indirect light, which helps the plant maintain its signature look.

    Native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, the Jose Buono prefers a warm, humid environment and thrives in loose, well-draining soil rich in organic material. Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch, and maintain moderate to high humidity (ideally 60% or above) for optimal growth. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, its growth may slow, and the variegation can become less pronounced.

    Air Purifying Qualities:

    • Toxin Removal: Like many philodendrons, the Jose Bueno helps filter airborne toxins such as formaldehyde, benzene, and trichloroethylene, improving indoor air quality.

    • Oxygen Production: This plant contributes to a fresher indoor environment by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen during the day.

    • Humidity Regulation: Through transpiration, it helps add moisture to the air, which is beneficial for people living in dry indoor climates.

    Note: The Philodendron Jose Bueno is toxic to pets (cats and dogs) and humans if ingested, due to the presence of calcium oxalate crystals. Keep out of reach of children and animals to avoid potential health risks.

    Care Insights & Expert Tips

    Sunlight

    Bright, indirect light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can cause leaf discoloration and scorch the leaves. Insufficient light will cause red hue to fade.

    Water

    Water weekly: Water when the top soil is dry, typically every 7-10 days. Reduce watering in winter and ensure the pot has drainage to prevent root rot. Avoid overwatering. 

    Temperature

    Warm temperatures: Thrives in temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C) and very high humidity.

      1. Fertilize regularly: Feed your plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4 weeks during the spring and summer season.
      2. Monitor for pests: Keep an eye out for common houseplant pests like mealybugs and spider mites. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
      3. Avoid Cold Drafts: The Philodendron Jose Bueno prefers warm, consistent temperature. Do avoid sudden reduced temperatures changes. 
      4. Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as peat-based or general houseplant mix, and select a pot that’s just 1-2 inches larger than the current one.
      5. Simplified Care Routine: This Philodendron is delicate and does not require overly complex care routines.

      FAQs

      Do you have a return or replacement policy for plants?

Shipping live plants back and forth can cause unnecessary stress and jeopardize the health of the plant. We encourage customers to choose carefully before placing an order. Our risk-free, 30-day customer guarantee covers cases where plants arrive damaged, dead, sick, or incorrect items were sent. We will send you a replacement plant or provide a refund.

      If there’s an issue with your order, please notify us within 30 days so we can address the issue as quickly as possible. To learn more, visit 30-Day Customer Guarantee.

      Can I order and receive plants during the winter?

      Yes, we ship plants year-round! Our shipments are carefully packaged to ensure we deliver healthy plants to your door every day of the year. We monitor the weather across the country and will include heat packs at no extra charge to keep your plants warm during shipping. If weather conditions are extreme (e.g., storm or severe winter), we will inform you of an updated delivery date that we believe is more appropriate.

      How can I change my order details?

We are not held responsible for orders shipped to incorrect addresses. In addition, we cannot cancel orders that has already been shipped.

      If I order more than one plant, will they ship separately?

      Items apart of the same order typically ship together. In rare circumstances, the items may ship from both our Southern California and Florida greenhouses and could arrive in separate packages at different times. For these instances, once each item is shipped, you'll receive individual tracking information for each package, so you can easily track their progress.

      Where do you ship?

      We currently ship to the contiguous United States which consists of the 48 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.

      Do you offer same-day or next-day delivery?

      Unfortunately, we do not offer same-day or next-day delivery. Plants require careful preparation and packaging to ensure they arrive healthy and in optimal condition, we take the necessary time to pack them properly. This ensures that your plants are shipped safely and arrive ready to thrive.
