My Monstera finally split a leaf after two years, and I'm still buzzing about it. I'd been second-guessing everything—the light, the humidity, whether I was overwatering. Turns out she just needed patience and a bit of indirect bright light near my east-facing window. Now I'm watching the next leaf develop and already seeing the signature holes forming. If you've got one that's being stubborn, resist the urge to fuss with it too much. Sometimes they just need time to settle in and grow on their own schedule.
