I was given a Montsera(?) cutting and I don't really know if this leaf is too wrinkled? It's a minefield trying to read about and understand if I have over or under watered. I just don't know what this plant actually wants.

My usual approach is to assume I have over watered if a plant looks unhappy, but I don't know if these bounce back after a period of under watering, if I hold back on watering more now.

Correct, they have a variegated Monstera (Thai Constellation specifically). If it were the more rare/prized Albo variety it would be worth hundreds of dollars lol.

I always laugh when I see people with this more common Thai Constellation variety trying to sell them for $200+ because they're totally not worth that. Still they are a beautiful plant which could produce a delicious edible fruit in optimal conditions (usually outdoor growing in a humid Zone 9/10 climate)
