My Monstera finally split a leaf after two years of just being a boring vine

My Monstera finally split a leaf after two years of just being a boring vine. Turns out it wasn't the light—I moved it closer to the window last spring and that actually made the difference. I'd read everywhere that they need "bright indirect light" but honestly mine was sulking in medium brightness. Now I'm wondering if I've been underselling light for my other plants too. Has anyone else had a similar turnaround with theirs?
