Went to the local flea market and came home with this gorgeous baby. I have wanted one for a long time but have no idea what they need/want. Anybody have crash course advice for a new monstera mommy?

I got one from Home Depot back in February. Just learned the difference between deliciosa and adansonii (although it’s SO obvious lol) because I’m now becoming more of a passionate plant person than I was in February. Anyway, now that I know I have a adansonii and hearing it’s an “advanced” care plant, mine has been doing great for someone who knows very little about plants. 😅 It’s done perfectly fine in average house humidity (40% for my home). Overall, I think it’s an easy plant to take care of. I have noticed my leaves are becoming a little translucent so I’m now unsure of how often to water. :,)

At first mine didn't need much water but now that is summer and it's taken the height of it's pole it's having intense growth spurt and drinking every 6-9 days kinda tempo
