I’ve had this plant for over 30 yrs it was touch and go. I decided to put it outside and asked Mother Nature to do her thing!

That’s incredible! Good for you!

That’s really serendipitous because the plant is a philodendron “hope” plant :) you never gave up hope

I’ve had it so long, it came with me when I moved from Tenn to Mich

My dad has one that he got in ‘87. It’s NEVER been repotted 😳😅 It still has the nursery tag and it’s not even labeled as the correct plant 🤣 I’m fairly certain roots have replaced all the soil at this point. Poor thing. I snuck it some fertilizer last time I was there and it grew a few new leaves lol

I think I repotted it once and I have no idea when. I did put more dirt in it.
