Why are the leaves getting smaller?

Question

Lesves started out pretty big now they are coming out smaller. Any ideas? It gets same light from a south facing window that it’s always had. #help #MonsteraPeru #Monstera #helpneeded

Hmmm I'd guess more light. With winter here, there's less light and daytime is shorter.

It could also potentially be due to the plant needing a repot. But looking at your plant, I don't think that's the case.

Could also be lacking fertilizer.

I hope that helps!!

I would say you need a taller pole. Luckily if you get another one of the one that’s there you can attach it. Good luck I hope for bigger leaves 😃

Seems like your plant ran out of space to climb! That could be causing smaller leaves 🫶🏽🌿

From what I have been reading some people love to let these beauties trail like other trailing plants like pothos. I just got one myself and that’s what I plant on doing with mine. I doubt the moss pole has anything to do with it, but however I’m gonna ask Sarah and Jay for their opinions, @sarahsalith @jaysjungle, please and thank you.

She needs a pole to promote larger leaves!

Pole, fertiliser and more light. All three will definitely make your leaves big and lush! 🫶
