How long until it matures?

I got a Variegated Philodendron Goeldii Mint about a month ago and while I realize it's still a young plant, I can't seem to find any info as to how long it takes for it to mature and form its leaf circle. I've included a current pic of my plant plus what it'll eventually look like πŸ’–πŸ˜ How long do I have to wait? Does anyone happen to know?

TIA #gregfam!

My Goeldii isn't variegated, but it's taken a few months to get to each new stage of leaf division. And if I don't give it enough light, it starts to revert back. I'd say expect a few years to full maturity.
I haven’t the slightest idea by the final product looks super cool!
@JauntyGrandfir Josephine, I didn't even know a variegated version existed of the Goeldii, I just had the standard solid green one on my wishlist so when I saw it, I couldn't resist!
Well that's a plant I've never seen. 😁
@UltraKoreanfir Melisse I really hope I can grow it to maturity! Feel like I'll be waiting forever seeing how small it is now πŸ₯²
@ballondusoleil You never know. Sometimes when they are in their happy place they have growth spurts. Maybe it will only take until next summer! That would be pretty quick.

So bizarre the way it developed that way. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘
Here's some pics of different leaves on mine. The fullest leaf is from a stalk that's at least 2 yrs old.
@DapperPineapple thanks for sharing your experience with your goeldii, CJ! I figured a few years at least. The pics are super helpful - when I first got it I was curious why the leaves on my plant differ so much from each other.

Since mine is variegated I knew I'd have to keep it under a grow light to maintain the colouring so I guess that light will be doing double duty for leaf division! It recently gave me a new variegated leaf but also lost one but it's still new to my home. Hopefully it has settled in now and will continue to push out more leaves 🀞🏽
wow what a beautiful Goeldii! 😍
@Ronigrows thanks, Roni! Here's hoping I can grow it to maturity!
Hi, so when I got mine, I checked the roots,used a rooting solution added in with the soil and I water her every two weeks and she’s doing fine. This is the root powder I use.
@Heavenlyfran thanks, Fran! With spring coming up I'm hoping to repot a few plants including this one. Hope it'll help boost it a bit, the winter had been tough for my plants.
