My Ficus lyrata finally grew a new leaf after months of being stubborn, and honestly I'm ridiculously proud. I think moving it away from the window last autumn helped—I was convinced it needed more light, but turns out
I finally got my Monstera deliciosa to produce a fenestrated leaf after two years, and honestly, I'm not sure what changed. The humidity in my space hasn't shifted dramatically, and I haven't altered the light much. I'v
