I tried to find the pic but couldn't- this monstera was close to a window during a deep freeze in December 2021. The whole thing turned black and I cut everything down to the base. In 1.5 years this is all of the new growth. Each leaf is bigger than the last and currently has two new growths that will unfurl soon. It's last leaf is over 2 ft long :)
