It looks too far away. Check with a light meter app or a light meter device to measure the amount of light that that reaches the plants. I’ve found the lights need to be 1ft to 2 ft from plants to effective. Google the amount of light the plants need to determine if the light source and placement is sufficient.

Hi hi! I love a good monstera 🥰  
One thing to note is that the front of those leaves will try to go towards the light. It looks like the light is behind it currently so you may need to turn it around

Also I see you’re using moss poles, make sure that they are tied to the poles and that they are really stable if you want to see more fenestrations!

Tysm so turn the leaves toward the light?
