This is my favorite lineup (all off Amazon)..  
The monstera plant food is recommended for you, adding it to watering once a month a you can up it to twice a month in summer!

The best way to make any plant grow faster is to give it more light, especially in these dark winter months. It is normal to not see much new growth this time of year since we do have less light overall, but adding a good quality grow light or moving it to a brighter spot can help (just be careful about direct afternoon rays from west facing windows). Using a quality fertilizer with micronutrients will also help, but light is still the biggest factor. I love dyna-gro foliage pro personally, but the one that Auxsman suggested has come up in my research before and is also supposed to be very good.

I live in AZ so we have constant sun, and I’m planning on putting her outside once it stays warm enough in the nights. Been feeding her the fish tank water when I do water changes

And she’s been under 3 Sansi lights this winter!
