Hot take: I thought my fiddle leaf fig was just dramatic until I moved it 3 feet from the window

My friend in Denver said hers thrived with more light, and after a month of new leaves, I get it now... anyone have a good spot for a picky monstera?

Moving a plant a few feet seems like such a small thing, but it really can make a difference. I'm not sure it's always that serious though. @aarons36's story about the bathroom is a good example, but sometimes I wonder if we're just overthinking it. My monstera got a new leaf after I just stopped moving it around so much.

My neighbor had a similar light issue with her monstera. She finally put it in a bright bathroom with a frosted window, and it started putting out those split leaves within weeks. Sometimes they just need that indirect glow.
