# So I just became a member of the club, and I was wondering if anyone…

_Opslået af Heather den 2024-04-26_

So I just became a member of the club, and I was wondering if anyone here has an estimate of how old my plant is. She’s about 14 inches tall, maybe even 16 inches, I was curious how long it takes to get the beautiful leaves with the “ slits” in them? I have two new leaves that are about to unfurl. I heard that the plant Hass to be about 2 to 3 years old before they start producing the super cool leaves. Also, she had about five more leaves when I bought her, but they were pretty rough looking so I trimmed them off. I think she’s beautiful the way she is, but I’m so excited to see her uniqueness. This is Monica by the way.also, any advice on how to keep her happy and healthy would be much appreciated. I think I read somewhere that they like to be in smaller pots?

I’m also curious about the age of the plant. I have one also and would love to know how old she is.🤍🪴

I would say yours is two or so.. should start putting out splits soon especially if you put it on a moss pole… all the YouTube videos I’ve seen of these once they’re put on one of those moss poles you fill with Sphagnum moss and water the pole to keep it moist….they start putting out those leaves consistently. I have been needing to get mine on one for a long time, definitely something I want to do but I don’t know how you do it with an adult monstera, I don’t even know if it’s possible at this point. I have a baby adansonii i am definitely am putting on one soon though.

Yes they do have to be about 3, put it on a moss pole filled with spagnhum moss it will soon

You can also increase the humidity to help produce leaves with fenestrations! My monstera is not very old, maybe a year and like 4/6 leaves have at least one fenestration in them!

Honestly I had a regular pole (not moss lol) and it still gave me fenestrations, the slits, just good lighting, good chunky soil, fertilizer + misting it will get you there!  
I just upgraded to real moss pole but just a lil support for it to climb helps!
