# i have a monstera that i’ve had for about 2 years now, it hasn’t had…

_Posted by plant.lesbian on 2023-07-22_

i have a monstera that i’ve had for about 2 years now, it hasn’t had new growth in a few months, i moved it into a room with better lighting and it started pushing out new leaves but they’re small and have no holes. is there a way i can help it to grow bigger leaves?

Sun is the key

I’ve only had mine for about a month and when I got her she had leaves but few fenestrations. I have her outside on an east facing covered porch and she is growing big beautiful leaves with the fenestrations now.

Is she in sun? And does she have any support (Cedar stick, moss pole, etc)?
