So I bought this mint monstera adansonii, but recently it has been putting out large, mutated leaves that look nothing like my other adansoniis. Is it really an adansonii? Why are the leaves getting so large and mutated while the plant is so little? They aren’t identical on each half of the leaf, on the most recent few one side is much larger and the other side is narrow or even absent (2nd photo). I also included a picture of it next to my other adansonii for reference. Thanks!!

beautiful plant! I’ve read that this type of variegated plant tends to do this so if there are no sign of pests, it’s just part of the beauty of this plant! 🌱🪴💚
