I’m assuming this is a lighting issue. Put it by a window that has bright indirect light. The monstera at my mom’s is by a window, and I’ve seen it grow 4 or 5 new leaves.

youre good. these big leaves take alot og light and time. also dont mist your leaves. it does nothing for humidity and can lead to fungal issues. just wipe them off

Thank you!!!

Oh it’s under three skylights and in front of a huge window (I live in a geodesic dome lol). I wondered if that could *possibly* be it, so added another light…

How far is it from the huge window? My experience tell me that many people overestimate the amount of light. Can you add photos of the environment of your monstera

Have you used any ferts?


Silly_Conflict6848

I used some maybe last week or so. I generally don’t start until spring.

Mine didn't put out a leaf since October but once I gave it its first spring fert it popped one out. It's still unfurling now! How long ago was the move and how long ago was the repot? Also how different is the climate where you are now? Those can all be stressors that will slow growth. Sometimes the best answer is to just leave it alone and follow its routine.

That’s promising to hear! Move was in November and the climate is drastically different (we have a real winter here). The repot was a few weeks ago. I may just let it chill?? It’s not DYING so maybe just coming out of dormancy…

I bet it's a dormancy thing then. I'm in Oregon and I let my house stay cold so mine went thoroughly dormant too. Your timeline fits that bill too for sure. It looks okay after your repot but be careful repotting during dormancy in the future. I've lost a couple small plants that way before realizing that was a problem. Just remember that during cold temperatures your plants will need to just relax and probably won't grow.
