Serious question, my Monstera had 3 leaves in March and now it's pushing 12 after I moved it 4 feet from the window.

I guess the direct light was actually burning it, even though the care tag said 'bright indirect'. Has anyone else had a plant completely turn around from just one simple change?

Right? I moved my pothos like two feet to the left once and it went nuts lol. It's wild how such a tiny change can make a huge difference.

Call that a serious question? Sounds like you just proved the care tag right. Bright indirect light doesn't mean stick it in the sun's path. Maybe the real change was you finally listening to the instructions. Isn't it obvious that less direct sun would help a plant that hates direct sun? Not exactly a shocking turn of events, is it?

My buddy killed two fiddle leaf figs before he actually read the tag. He finally moved the third one back from the window and it's thriving now. Sometimes the simple fix is just doing what it says.
