My monstera is just 1 year old and anxiously waiting for lots of fenestrations :). My questions are:
1- is this the kind of plant that gets lots of fenestrations like the one (beauty) I just saw in this group ?
2- should I split these plants in 2 pots ?
3- can I get rid of these small bottom yellow leaves ?
4- why are they getting yellow
Thanks in advance:)

Yes this is a large form Monstera deliciosa. More light = larger leaves.
You do not have to split it up. Having a single stem in a pot can allow for each individual stem to have more space for roots which has benefits.
You can cut off the yellow leaves. They will fall off on their own eventually.
Most plants don’t keep older foliage on forever. As they get new leaves they shed old ones.
1) fenestrations is are not an issue, and this is common for monsteras! This will get more leaves with high fenestrations the more older and happy it gets!
2) you can if you want, but if you don’t want to, then don’t. Though, make sure they do not become too compact and compete for nutrients. But you seem to have a wrap on it as this is a year of the gals like this.
3) yes.
4) baby leaves tends to die off when the plant starts to age and grow! To prevent this so each section is getting their own nutrients, you could throw it up on a moss pole instead!
Excellent job staking this. Love to see it done right. I’d dump as much strong light into this plant as you can – that’s what will trigger larger leaves with more variegation. If you look through my comment history you’ll see a series of comments of grow light recommendations of you don’t have the best window
