My Monstera finally split a leaf after two years of looking like a regular plant

My Monstera finally split a leaf after two years of looking like a regular plant. I kept it in decent indirect light and watered when the soil actually dried out, nothing fancy. The thing that actually made the difference was moving it closer to the window in autumn—I think the cooler temps and brighter light triggered something. Has anyone else found their Monstera sits around doing nothing until you change something dramatic, or is mine just stubborn?
