My Monstera finally split a leaf after two years of me thinking I was doing something wrong

My Monstera finally split a leaf after two years of me thinking I was doing something wrong. Turns out it just needed to mature enough and stop being so dramatic about inconsistent watering. I stopped obsessing and let it do its thing on the shelf by the south window. Has anyone else found their Monstera splits faster once you actually stop fussing with it, or was I just impatient?
