Hi, I noticed my monstera grows two different “types” of leaves. It grows these ones that are open straight from the base. Other times, it grows the big ones that grow vertically before unfurling. I’m wondering why? Let me know what you all think. Thanks!

I can’t tell you why but that’s completely normal  
All monsteras do that

The ones at the base are a monstera seedling

More than one plant in the pot. Each plant grows one leaf at a time. My pot has 4 or 5 plants.

Does it matter at all? Thank you btw.

It seems to be how they’re normally sold. Makes them look more full. Here’s my Thai Con that’s just one plant. Different look.
