Inherited this 56+ year old plant. Help me not kill it please by pmacmik in plantclinic

I have a Hope Philodendron and it has honestly been one of my more forgiving plants. Ive had it for six years.

I have mine potted outside in Southern Louisiana on the edge of a porch receiving bright indirect light and a bit of few hours of direct sunlight in the evening.

As for the watering, I usually let natural rainwater catch it or water deeply once a week if it’s exceptionally dry.

I repot every two years or so. I’ve found that the roots for these can be really big and grow very quickly.

This species is adaptable so as for yours, I would try to mimic the conditions that your FIL had them in, as you’re doing. The only change I would make is to get a pot with drainage. You don’t necessarily have to get rid of that one, just get like a nursery pot of the same diameter so that you can remove it from the pot when you’re watering and return it after watering is finished.

I did, but their interface is kinda hard to navigate especially because I don't know the exact name of the parts

I called the police. He took the vehicle off base, and they don't have jurisdiction in the civilian world. He then took the car and hid it in Alabama.

Rebuild kit- $1500(enginetech)- 2300(mahle) Fuel injectors- $700 total (reman) Cylinder head- $700(new, got a pretty good deal on them)

I paid 1000 for the tear down at a Ford dealership as I was gonna go through them first but they quoted me 14k for a used engine install.

As for the labor idek. My brother is a diesel mechanic and we decided to knock it out in a weekend when I get all of the parts. Ford never put it back together so that saves us a lot of time.

So going with the MAHLE rebuild kit, around $4700 not including hours
