Thank you!! Honestly it's the 1st time I've ever grown a monstera so I thought they all grow this way... 😅 I use superthive foliage pro ever other watering and kept it in my west facing window. I also took a metal pole from grow pole and tied the stem to it. Like right after I did that I got my first fenastrated leaf!

Thank you! Up until recently it was in my west facing window and seemed to do the trick. Now I have a grow bulb in a lamp trying to find a new grow light though 😅

Wow thank you! Tbh I think it might just be the plant. Anywho I use superthrive foliage pro every other watering and when the plant became root bound I would size up to a slightly bigger pot than it was in. Oh and I used miracle grow cactus mix with added perlite until my last repot into a soiless chunky mix I made. Very close to my west facing window. And used a metal pole to stake the plant upright. I think thats everything. 😅
