I've had my Monstera for about eight months now, and I'm finally getting those gorgeous fenestrated leaves I was promised. The new growth looks so different from the solid ones lower down. I'm curious though—does anyone else's seem to grow at different speeds depending on the season? Mine barely budged through winter, but now in spring it's putting out leaves constantly. I'm in a mediterranean climate, so maybe that's just how it is here.
