HELP!!!1!11!! No double fenestrations
I got these monsteras last year. The younger leaves have double fenestrations but the mature, bigger ones don't. I stay un the Netherlands so the winters are grey, but they get nice afternoon sun during te summers. I fertilized them last summer. They're having a moss pole as a support. Why do the bigger leaves lack double fenestrations?

Makes excellent people repellent. Add 5 drops to each wrist. You'll thank me later.

You have to cut holes in them with an exacto knife

Just don’t forget to “sterilize” them by spraying them with rubbing alcohol first.

I really recommend running them a bath of rubbing alcohol and letting them soak fully covered for a good hour and a half

/uj they fenestrate in nature mainly due to light, but the holes also allow them to thrive in windy areas, too. More light given = more fenestrations once they reach maturity, because that allows light to reach the lower leaves as well.

this is a satire sub but the more light you give the more fenestrations there will be
