Bold, Brush-Stroked Variegation on an Easy, Fast-Growing Philodendron

The Philodendron ‘José Buono Fiesta’ is a collector’s gem known for its expressive, hand-painted variegation. Each leaf unfurls with creamy white and green sectors that seem to have been brushed on by nature. Broad, paddle-shaped foliage grows along a vigorous climbing vine that thrives indoors with bright, indirect light. Provide a moss pole or trellis, and this plant will quickly size up, producing ever larger and more dramatic leaves.
