Is it normal for my leaves to come out with so many holes? I was always told this was a bad thing, but my leaves are getting bigger every time a new one is born. Also I don’t know what to do when she hits the ceiling.
Fenestrations (the fancy word for those holes) are a good thing! It’s a sign of a healthy plant when it puts out bigger leaves with more fenestrations, it’s what most people are trying to get from their monstera.

This is fabulous – exactly what you want. I love when I see new ones but especially when they’re pre-holed. When I see them I like to sing “I’m coming out …”

Fenestrations are completely natural – Its the plants way of not only getting better respiration, but it allows light to hit lower leaves. Its sought after for a lot of plant keepers. They look beautiful!

Its so light can shine through the leafs that are tall and large.
Allowing left over light to still hit the rest of the leafs(through those holes)
That or so the wind doesnt rip them up.
This is just an opinion.

That plant is too big and healthy to not have gone through this a time or two

I dont see how someone could own a plant they have no knowledge on. People call this plant a swiss cheese plant. Any idea why?

I wish my Monsterras were thriving like this
I expected more from you with those variegated plants lol
If you own a monstera, shouldn’t you know these things by now?
This is actually really cute and funny. I’m sorry everyone is being mean.
