This Thai Constellation monstera has had three of its leaf unfurls time lapsed. The previous leaf was fully opened in August 2019 so no sign of the next leaf occurred until February 2020. While it may be tempting to say it was dormant during the winter, the fact that the first sign of growth was *observed* in Feb means that the overall process began many weeks prior – just like how you won’t visually notice a pregnancy until week 12-16. So, my Thai Constellation was definitely “growing during winter”. Plants grown exclusively indoors are not necessarily dormant/resting during winter and growing only spring and summer. Therefore, for indoor plants, fertilize when you observe new growth, not “because it’s spring.”

In pest news: through all of 2019, I was battling thrips on this plant, resulting in patchy damage on the leaves. From my close inspection of the new leaf, I don’t see any thrips larvae so I’m hopeful they’re gone!
