I have my same Philodendron Selloum house plant in the 'same pot' since September of 1988. That's 20 years.?

Question

......and before I got this plant for my 1988 house-warming party, my Philodendron selloum plant had to be 3 to 4 years more older in its {Plant-Birth.}

So in reality, my Philodendron Selloum is not 20 years old. It's more like 24 years old in plant life.

I'm shocked. I mean how many Decades do most Philodendron Selloum house plants live to really??

I'm 46 years old. Could my Philodendron Selloum maybe {out live me?}

I am being funny but yes, serious too : ) I've never had a house plant 24 long years old.

Any comments?

Answer 1

I had a prayer plant for about 30 or so years.  I kept it in the same pot.

It did finally die.  I guess you could say it didn't have a prayer!  :p  ha ha

If your plant is flourishing you have no need to re-pot it.

Answer 2

WOW!!! I'd be afraid to touch it! Sounds like it's doing good.  Do you have pictures of this amazing plant?  I'd love to see that!!

Maybe you could "will" it to a plant lover in the future if it does outlive you. Or a museum? lol
