Photos from Summerland, BC.
1) Amazing views of developing weather patterns across the lake
2) Peach orchard water park
3) The winery where I'm staying - thanks Instagram for your rendering bugs, further discouraging photo posts
4) A dream come true - the owner let me sit in his DeLorean DMC-12 (the Back to the Future car).

When this leaf first emerged, it was huge and very floppy. I took note of the sharp angle between the leaf and the petiole.
.
After a week, as the leaf hardened off, the angle got bigger, orienting the leaf more horizontal since the main light source comes from large overhead skylights

What observations have you made of your Monstera?

Epipremnum pinnatum 'Skeleton Key'
.
1️⃣ The first few new nodes have successfully rooted into the moss pole and this latest leaf size is noticeably bigger than the first few.
.
2️⃣ High hopes for this new leaf!
.
3️⃣ Light situation: indirect light levels most of the day are in the 200-600 FC range with maybe an hour of direct sun in the late afternoon. I regularly feel the moss and before it gets crunchy dry, I take it to the sink for a soaking. I'll follow up with watering with a 3-1-2 fertilizer.
.
4️⃣ The "skeleton key" look of more mature leaves. I wonder how many transitional leaf forms I'll go through before I see the mature ones 🤔...
