My Monstera deliciosa finally split a leaf after two years of being pretty stubborn about it. Turns out it wasn't getting enough indirect light where I had it, even though I thought that spot was fine. Moved it a few feet closer to the window and within a month, boom—actual fenestration. The growth rate picked up too. If yours is refusing to develop those characteristic holes, check your light situation first before assuming it just needs more time.
