My Monstera finally put out a fenestrated leaf after sitting in the same spot for two years, and I genuinely thought it was dead weight. Turns out it needed more light than I was giving it. Moved it closer to the window last spring and now it's unstoppable. If yours isn't fenestrating, that's usually the culprit—not age, not some magic trick. Just light. I'd share a photo of the new growth but it's honestly wild how fast this thing goes once it gets what it wants.
