Notes on my Swiss Cheese Plant

I've had my Monstera deliciosa for three years now, and I'm finally seeing consistent fenestration on the new leaves—which makes me realize how much patience these plants actually demand. Everyone talks about how "easy" they are, but I think that reputation misses the point. Mine needed the right balance of bright indirect light and humidity before it really took off. Has anyone else noticed their Monstera suddenly accelerate growth after a specific change, or was mine just being stubborn?
