I've had my Monstera deliciosa for about eight months now and I'm finally starting to see the fenestration I was promised! The new leaf that unfurled last week has those gorgeous holes, and I have a photo I'd share if I

I've had my Monstera deliciosa for three years now and only recently realized I was overwatering it. Moving it to a spot with better air circulation and letting the soil dry out between waterings completely transformed
