Hi friends, My Monstera Thai Con pushed out this new leaf in May and she still hasn’t unraveled yet. Is this normal? Any tips or tricks? I did put a humidifier by her a few weeks ago and I haven’t seen much of a difference yet. Thanks!

    last time my Thai took over a month to open up she gave me a leaf twice the size of the previous one 🤞🏼 also when did you repot her? can’t see any roots so she might be focusing on that

      Wait that makes so much sense…I transferred her into LECA end of May and I’ve been taking her out periodically to monitor her roots. Thank you!

      LOL so I transferred her from soil to LECA and I tried cleaning the roots of the soil as much as I could but I couldn’t get all the soil Off. So I read that you should occasionally (once every 2ish weeks) remove the black or rotted roots to prevent further spread. Is this right lol 😂

      Just keep in mind that every time you pull her out it causes stress. If you can't resist I'd suggest ditching the LECA & going back to soil in a clear pot.

      Yes I thought that too! I just put up a grow light a couple days ago so hopefully that helps

    Another suggestion and something I’ve done before is that you could gently try to unfurl it some. Sometimes my monstera leaves get stuck and just need a tiny bit of help opening
