I rescued this Monstera in June. Hereās a pic of when I brought it home for $3 and what she looks like now. The newest leaves arenāt giving any fenestrations, is it a light issue? Sheās repotted in a tub right now because it was super leggy and didnāt feel comfortable trimming and propagating at the time. Iām blown away about how much sheād healed in just a month.

Nice regrowth! š¤© In my experience, lack of fenestrations is due to low light, like you said. But seen as yours is outside on your porch, that doesnāt seem like that would be the case. It might just be that the plant was really set back by the damage it took before you got it. Itās probably using a lot of its resources to recover. Have you been fertilizing? Increasing the nutrients it has access to might give it the fuel it needs to grow more mature looking leaves again. Just be careful depending on what kind of fertilizer you have/choose. Synthetic fertilizers do work, but they can cause root burn in higher doses more easily than naturally derived fertilizers do
