# Propagated this plant from my larger one less than a year ago. It’s…

_Posted by Mar on 2025-03-26_

Propagated this plant from my larger one less than a year ago. It’s put out two new leaves since then but they’re giant - will it always put out leaves this large? The original leaf is the one with a bit of browning. Slight background: the mother plant I had was originally smaller (until it wasn’t) and is now quite large and is floppy/spread out. I have struggled with my monsteras having giant leaves, but not many of them, so they look very sparse. Although I’ve had mine for 4-5 years I feel like I still know nothing. Thankfully I haven’t killed them, but I want them to thrive

In my experience, yes. I have two and one has put out some slightly smaller leaves because it’s in less ideal conditions (in the garage for a thrip quarantine), but now it just looks funny with mostly large leaves and two slightly smaller ones. It looks healthy to me! I think you could get a fuller plant and plant them together in a larger pot (once you quarantine for pests) if you wanted it to be fuller. Most really full ones have multiple plants
