Gorgeous 😍 any tips to grow big beautiful leaves like that? I just bought my first one today!

Thank you! I’m very proud of her! My biggest tip is having the correct support as they mature. All monsteras have a front and back, and if you want the leaves to grow big then her back needs to be supported. A thin board and some velcro plant ties work wonders! Although young ones might not need that much support right away. One of my smaller Thai Constellation monsteras is currently being supported by a sturdy stick I found outside. Hope this helps!
