I would like to purchase my first Monstera to be placed near a window in our guest room. I’d like it to eventually be 3-4 feet tall. Any recommendations on which to buy?

Deliciosa is a safe bet. All others like Thai or albo have less chlorophyll (the green parts) and therefore will grow very slowly in just a window. I put my deliciosa outside every summer for the last 4 years and he is around 4 ft now.
