I NEVER had luck growing monstera adansonii. I got frustrated and put it in the bathroom away from the others and now it’s not only putting out new leaves, but they’re growing bigger than my hand.

Yeah, M. adansonii thrives in higher humidity, so it’s probably loving the extra moisture. That’s amazing though, never seen such big adansonii leaves indoors!
