I was given a Montsera(?) cutting and I don’t really know if this leaf is too wrinkled? It’s a minefield trying to read about and understand if I have over or under watered. I just don’t know what this plant actually wants.
My usual approach is to assume I have over watered if a plant looks unhappy, but I don’t know if these bounce back after a period of under watering, if I hold back on watering more now.
You’re fine. You have a special variety of Monstera called Thai Constellation. They are beautiful plants. They are not the most picky about watering (my bananas are much bigger babies if they don’t get enough water lol). But they do like LOTS of sunlight. Put it near a window (preferably older glass window without UV coatings). Do you have a cheap UV/soil meter? During the middle of the day, walk around your house and find the spot with the most light according to that meter and put your plant there (add extra light of course).
But don’t be afraid to give it more light - it’ll love it. Maybe even consider moving it to a back patio or porch in the summer months so it grows faster.
Fun fact - Monstera deliciosa is not just some random latin name. It comes from the large beautiful broad leaves, and the fact that it actually bears a unique DELICIOUS fruit if given optimal conditions. It has a juicy sweet unique tropical flavor which is hard to describe. Although I honestly don’t know if your special variegated thai constellation variety bears the same delicious edible fruit (probably still does, albeit smaller or less tasty)
Still that’s a fun plant to grow, any houseplant owner would love to have one of those in their collection - be sure to thank whoever gifted you a cutting!
Just my $0.02 as someone growing several Monsteras (hopefully for the fruit some day).
