@BloomingBonzi Oooh, it's a new leaf! Monstera leaves pop out of the stem of the last leaf as this tight little spiral, and they slowly uncurl as they get bigger. It's the coolest thing ever to watch 😍 I like to try and guess how many splits each side is going to have - you'll never know until it unfurls most of the way 😊

Make sure you post pictures for #freshleaffriday, I'd love to see what it looks like later this week! 😁
Ohhh!!! I'm so excited! Thank you for the information! 🌿
Ooh, so exciting with new leaves 😍🌿
Yay! It's a new leaf! 🌿 It will grow and unfurl (don't be tempted to help it! Lol new Monsty leaves are delicate and easily damaged!) just let her do her thing 😊 she's beautiful! Xx
New leaf! πŸƒ 😍
It's a leaf.

Monsteras need to be very very old before they can flower. They can actually even carry fruits which might be one of the top ten most delicious fruits on the planet buuut it's very rare to see it happen in a pot at home.
A new leaf!
It’s a new leaf!
