My understanding is that is from lack of light. Is that its usual home?

#### Maya respondió el 2024-04-10

no but it’s close to it. it’s pretty dark today, but it’s south facing and gets pretty direct light

#### Hemlock Plants respondió el 2024-04-10

I would try increasing the sunlight. They can handle direct sun all day. Usually when the fenestration’s aren’t increasing it’s due to lack of light.

i live in a dorm so unfortunately that’s that’s only light i can give it

Your baby is a baby. I’m not sure how old monsteras are when they start giving you fenestrated leaves but it will, just give it time 🙏🏼

#### Maya respondió el 2024-04-10

Fenestration usually comes with age

#### Maya respondió el 2024-04-11

thank you. just excited for it!

I know, I was so anxious for mine to fenestrate. Took me about a year and a half

I see at least 2 plants in that pot, maybe 3. Did the newest leaf come from the same vine the fenestrated one did? Or is it from a different vine that hasn’t fenestrated yet?

Fenestration comes with age but more importantly it comes with adequate light. A step backwards tells me it needs more light. If you can’t give it more natural sunlight, then a grow light is a good option. You can get bulbs that you install into a simple desk lamp.

the newest leaf came from the fenestrated one. and yes. there are some smaller ones in there.
