My Monstera finally split a leaf after two years, and honestly it was just patience plus consistent bright indirect light. I stopped moving it around constantly, which I think made the biggest difference. I have a photo of it that shows the fenestration pretty clearly, but the real lesson was realizing I was probably stressing it out more than helping it. If yours isn't splitting yet, resist the urge to fiddle with it and just let it settle somewhere good.
