Here are the key things to understand: Light: Bright indirect — more light = more fenestrations. Water: When top inch dries — moderate. Soil: Chunky well-draining aroid mix. Feature: Fenestrated leaves on a fast-growing vine. Understanding these fundamentals will help you diagnose and resolve this issue more effectively.

The most common reasons this occurs include: Fast growing climbing/trailing vine. Fenestrations (holes) develop with maturity and light. Less demanding than Monstera Deliciosa — more compact. Easy to propagate from stem cuttings. Identifying the root cause is the first step toward finding the right solution.

To resolve this, follow these recommended steps: Bright indirect light for the most fenestrated leaves. Water when top inch dries — likes consistent moisture. Provide a moss pole for climbing — leaves grow larger when climbing. Prune and propagate long vines to keep the plant bushy. If these steps do not resolve the issue, consider consulting additional resources or a qualified professional.
