    I do see the photos, now. This looks to be healthy. I would not change anything, since it looks to have corrected the issue that it had faced at one time.

    Feeding it will not be a bad idea, either.

    When it does start showing signs of distress, then repotting it can help. This article will help you to do so:

    Consider paying attention to watering then. An overwatered philodendron may exhibit stem rot at the base. The part of the stem that is close to the roots may get affected by the rotting since it is close to the soil. The stem, at the soil line, will be weak, limp, and slimy. If you try to remove the stem abruptly, the stem will easily separate from the roots. Water your philodendron once to twice a week. While they prefer moist soil, they do not like soggy soil so insert a finger into the soil a few inches deep and water if it feels dry. Avoid watering when the top few inches feel moist or soggy.

    This is how they grow in nature. They aren't, typically, harmful to their host, so you can leave it knowing that it will not harm your tree.

    It has roots! That is a good sign. Likely, a new shoot will show up at any point near the root mass. It could be on the existing stem, or it could come from the new "crown". Patience will be key, here.

    It may not be getting enough light and is stretching upward.
    It should grow up and out but not like a vine. You could try growing a couple cuttings from it and adding them to the pot to make it fuller. It is also recommended to add a totem for them to cling to.

    It would be damaged below 40 degrees F. so it is not suitable to plant outside in your zone. You could move it outside in the summer and bring it in for winter, but it doesn't like very hot temperatures either.

    Here are its care tips:
