My little guy I have had for 3 decades now.

Probably the easiest plant to care for once you figure it out.
I water it every month or two. Fertilize it every 2 or 3 years. Redirect the arial roots into the pot when I water.
It gets 3 hours of direct sunlight in the morning.
Every 5 or 6 years I haul it outside in the summer. Then leach the pot with the garden hose to remove the salt buildup. I also hack the plant back to a more manageable size.
Monstera? That was my very first houseplant! Dude that lived in the attic at our shit college house gave me one of those, and a cat. Had sworn that pets and plants were for little old ladies, not ME!
Well... promptly killed the plant, but the cat fared well. And here I am 35-years later building a greenhouse out of spare parts and hoping the tadpoles do well in the new pond. The pig and chameleon are happy campers!
And BTW, I have never seen such an impressive example. As a cable guy I was in 3,000-some houses. You win.
Naw I have to keep him small to fit in the space. Eventually I want a house where I can let my poor little guy to grow up big.
