I've had my Monstera for three years now and it's finally starting to split consistently, which I'm thrilled about. The thing that changed everything was moving it a bit closer to my south-facing window—I was being too cautious about direct sun, thinking it'd scorch the leaves. Turns out mine actually loves the morning light. Has anyone else found their Monstera was more sun-hungry than the care guides suggest, or am I just getting lucky with my spot?
