Notes on my Swiss Cheese Plant

I've had my Monstera deliciosa for about three years now, and I'm finally seeing consistent fenestration on new leaves—it took longer than expected, but the payoff is worth it. I think the key was patience with watering; I let the top inch dry completely between waterings rather than keeping it constantly moist. Mine sits near an east-facing window in my tropical setup, and it seems to prefer that bright indirect light. Has anyone else noticed their Monstera takes its time before the leaves really start splitting?
