Good Morning Everyone!  
Is anyone else as excited as I am about their Monstera Baby’s First fenestration leaf as I am?  
My Monstera Thai Has its first I just seen today when I was watering it!

i had 2 and they died 😢

#### Tellie replied on 2023-10-16

I’m sorry.  
Do you know why?

#### emma 🪴🌞 replied on 2023-10-17

not sure, they just turned brown and i didn’t catch in time. someone on planta said it needs fertilizer so i just bought some and hoping for the best 🤞

#### emma 🪴🌞 replied on 2023-10-17

pretty sure i went too long without watering as well

Try Esty for a new one. That is where I got this one ☝🏽. I paid $25 for it. When the seller put them on sale.

My plant is having its first fenestration leaf too! It’s my first plant ever and I’m super excited 🎉

Yay! 🥳🎉 How old is your monstera?

#### mini replied on 2023-10-17

Nice, I have one that is about 6 months old. I’ve not had any fenestrations in the leaves yet so I was just curious.

#### Tellie replied on 2023-10-17

How much light does it get? When is the last time you fertilized it?

#### mini replied on 2023-10-17

It’s maybe 6 in from an east facing window. I also recently (1-2 weeks ago) put a grow light on it. It has three new leaves since then, but all appear small. I don’t have it staked either.

#### Tellie replied on 2023-10-17

Probably fertilizer. Because when I got it the leaves on it was small.  
Now it has the two bigger leaves.

#### Tellie replied on 2023-10-17

Schultz liquid fertilizer (the green one) is what I’ve used on it since I got it.  
I’ve also used miracle gro (yellow) in the past. Works good too.
