Philodendron 'Jose Buono' is an easy to grow variegated Philodendron of unknown origin. It is also not known whether it is a hybrid or a cultivar. Leaf blades are mid- to dark green, coriaceous, thick, elliptical to oblong. Variegation is variable from leaf to leaf and appears as blotches and spots of lime green and white. It is a scandent plant and will climb given suitable support. A very fast and prolific grower.
From the Modern Latin genus name Philodendron (Schott, 1830), from Greek philodendron, neuter of philodendros "loving trees," from philo- "loving" (see philo-) + dendron "tree" (from PIE *der-drew-, from root *deru- "to be firm, solid, steadfast," also forming words for "wood, tree"). The plant so called because it clings to trees.
