Timelapse footage documents glorious growing and unfurling of houseplant's leaf over the course of nine days

This timelapse footage captures the unfurling of a monstera leaf unfurling over the course of nine days in Adelaide, Australia.

The monstera - named Monica - was filmed over nine days and from the various angles.

We see one leaf initial growth spurt and then in glorious motion, the leaf unfurls.

The filmer said online: "This particular leaf felt like it took forever to appear.

"But there's another smaller new leaf growing on a lower stem - if you squint you can see it in the timelapse.

"Generally monstera are voracious growers though."
