How long does your Thai take to push out a new leaf from the time you notice come out of the sheath to being unfurled? I have my first that I received for free as a sick plant and only started to put out its first leaf but it’s taking a LONG time for it to push out fully

My last few leaves have pushed out \& unfurled fully in ~20ish days.

It’s under a grow light for 8 hours every day and I water it once weekly (I water it till water leaks out the bottom). I use a monstera liquid nutrient that I add to the water and the soil I use is a chunky aeroid mix I made.

Pushing out new leaves requires A LOT of energy from the plant, so extra nutrients and water usually helps! Best of luck :)
