I have many monstera’s and I have found that inadequate moisture and uneven moisture in the soil can cause the leaves to not unfold. They thrive in pots with many drain holes. They should usually only take about 2-3 weeks to fully unfold.

Possibly check the soil as well as making sure the roots aren’t too wet as this can cause root rot. Also make sure that it’s not too dry this causes there to be not enough moisture and roots/ leaves will not get the nutrients they need.

Lastly, I have found that using a tropical fertilizer once a month can help the leaves to develop quicker.

Hope this helps! 🪴

She’s got a few fungus gnats on her I’ve noticed :/

Also how much fertilizer do you feed the monsters?

A month is a long time! You can gently wrap this with a warm damp wash cloth or give it a pass with a handheld steamer. It does look quite small so I suspect this isnt getting enough light

I’ve had her for less than a year! At first she gave me quite a few new leaves but hadn’t been growing as quickly lately

I would get it more light \& add a liquid tropical fertilizer like kieley suggested. I use this one — instructions on package.
