Got this from Lowe’s, the leaves were getting all messed up, and no fenestration. I got my first mature real monstera leaf 😍 any tips to keep them getting bigger and happier ?

Lots of light!!!

Light is what causes the fenestration. And once the leaf starts developing, it is either already that way, or not. So if there are some leaves already developing from its time at Lowes, they likely won’t have fenestrations either. But enough light and they will come!
