Notes on my Swiss Cheese Plant

I've had my Monstera deliciosa for about three years now, and I'm finally seeing regular fenestration on new leaves—it's been worth the patience. I keep it in bright indirect light near an east-facing window in my tropical setup, and I noticed it really took off once I stopped fussing with the soil moisture. Does anyone else find these plants are happier when you just let them be for a while? My specimen has grown so much I'm thinking about giving a cutting to a friend, but I'm oddly reluctant to part with it.
