My monstera albo I bought at the end of April and took this picture in May. I am very happy with the progress and wanted to share how much it changed over the summer.

I put them in front of my large window where they get a lot of direct sunlight and I usually supplement with grow lights on overcast days.

I would say I have been getting a new leaf every 2 weeks on average and the petioles keep getting thicker and the leaves get bigger so I assumed they are getting enough light.

I got a comment that they look leggy so now I am concerned that I am not giving them what they need.

A few months ago I bought desert rose seeds and had a lot of success with germination. Funnily enough this one is the fastest growing and it is double the size of all the others.

I grow them in a well draining soil mix and water once every 7-9 days. I used to fertilize once a week adding less fertilizer than instructed just to be on the safe side. However I stopped once i noticed black edges on my leafs and stunted leaf growth. After that the leaves started to grow normally again until the latest 2 leafs as you can see.

I would be grateful for any advice or tips on how to keep my plants as healthy as possible.
