Hello all new to monsteras! I usually propagate all my plants but I fancied a bigger plant in the collection and I’ve always wanted a monstera. Does anyone know if there’s a way to check or guesstimate its age?

Your monstera looks young because there are no split leaves or fenestrations. As a plant matures, the leaves get bigger & get more fenestations. The more fenestrations-the older it is.

Yeah I was wondering when they’d start coming in google said 2-3 years old

make sure to give it enough light, as well! when people with older mosterras with fenestrations get a new leaf that has no holes, a common reason for this is not enough light. having the plant climb up something, either a trellis or a wood board also helps! the monstera does also have to be old enough, so if you have it for a while and theres no fenestrations, try giving more light. good luck!
