Hello! I just got this Beautiful Monstera for my Bday but I’m new to keeping plants. It’s going to go next to my bed and my room has medium lighting. Any advise?

If the fenestrations (those are the little holes in the leaves) aren’t showing up, you may want to move to a brighter area. The purpose of the fenestrations are to allow light to reach the lower leaves.
