# How can I get my monstera to grow? I’ve had this propagation for 2+…

_Posted by Jessie Stratton Zhou on 2025-12-05_

How can I get my monstera to grow? I’ve had this propagation for 2+ years with barely any growth, I repotted a size up in the summer and it grew 3 leaves. 🍃 But that was in August and I haven’t seen any growth since. Also no fenestration ever, which I thought would happen by now. Got grow lights on now that it’s winter.

Have you tried any plant food/fertilizer? My biggest helper for growing my monstera has been my plant food. I went from 0 fenestration up to 3, but that took over a year. Good luck 👍🏼

I use SUPERthrive, a vitamin solution, each time I water. Which plant food do you have/recommend? Do you use it every other watering?

I think she looks like she’s reaching for more light. Maybe put her in a brighter area, this section looks dim.

Unfortunately this is the brightest room in the apartment 😭 It’s the only room where the sun comes in, and she is close to the window! So if that’s the case, unfortunately I can’t do much about it 😢 In the summer it gets tons of sun. Right now she’s under a grow light.

Have you checked the roots lovey? She may just need a smaller pot so she could focus more on leaves!
