I got this lil guy from Target a little over a month ago. Their TCs were overpriced imo, smaller and not taken care of well compared to what you can get at Lowe's, HD, Walmart, etc (though the variegation on the stem of this one is so pretty) but I got them to discount it down to $20. The soil was as dry as the sahara desert, two of her leaves were super curled inward and facing sideways. Some water quickly sorted out the curled leaves and after several weeks they finally turned around to face the front. Now a new leaf is coming and I am so excited! It doesn't look like it will have any fenestrations but I bet it will be beautiful nonetheless. I have a slightly larger TC with fenestrations but it already had them when I got it so I am excited to eventually experience seeing one of my monstera getting them for the first time!
First two pics are from today, last three pics are from the day I got it.

Yay! I always take that as a sign that my plant is settled and happy in its new home. You go to bed and wake up with the new leaf in a completely different position than it was just 8hrs ago! It will be a lighter green and thin and sorta floppy until it’s hardened off. So that leaf, fully unfurled, will still grow bigger and bigger until it’s hardened off. That’s honestly just from observing my ThaiCon grow.
Gorgeous!!!
It’s pretty, mine didn’t have any fenenstrations when I got it. It put out it’s first one under my care. It has another one starting but I can’t tell yet if it will have them or not. It gets alot of light so im hoping it does.
