Notes on my Swiss Cheese Plant

I've had my Monstera deliciosa for three years now, and I'm finally getting those characteristic fenestrations on the newer leaves—it took patience and consistent bright, indirect light. What surprised me most was how much it appreciates humidity; I mist mine weekly and the growth has noticeably accelerated. Has anyone else found their Monstera was slow to develop the splits, or was it just mine being stubborn?
