I know this is a monstera but there are so many kinds and I have no clue which. I have had this plant for a really long time and its never got the swiss cheese if that helps!

Not sure… it might still be a deliciosa. A majority, I’m pretty sure, of monsteras have the holes/slits at some point. Do you know how long you’ve had it, or a rough guess at how many new leaves it’s gotten?

I've had it for about 3 years and it had 22 leave today before i propagated it. It had 2 leaves when i got it.

its most likely a deliciosa and the fenestrations come in an old monstera to show like age  
those look like baby monstera leaves if that helps

Thank you !

More light will help with developing fenestrations.
