Hello guys!! Need a small help. What to do with the aerial roots? I donot have any problem with them outgrowing but just wanted to know if there are any ways to do something.

just cut them off. it doesn't hurt the plant. if you don't plan on giving it something to climb, just cut off the aerial roots

looking closer, i think you put the pole on the wrong side of the plant LMAO. move the pole so that it's touching the side the aerial roots are coming from.

Oh okay, what can I give for the plant to climb ? 😅

#### Sri replied on 2025-11-22

Gotcha! Thank you

coco coir pole will be just fine, though i'd be careful about it touching the soil, as coir tends to start rotting when it gets too wet.

Do be careful, the aerial roots of monsteras can get in between the trim and the wall and start growing underneath your carpet looking for soil so if this happens or you notice it getting close to the edge, trim it before it gets into the trim otherwise you’re gonna have one hell of a problem

Thanks guyss

You can also tame it back into the soil

#### Sri replied on 2025-11-23

As they’re too long won’t that be a problem?

#### Yup replied on 2025-11-23

You can just lay them on top

### Leyla commented on 2025-11-23

I love the roots! When did your monstera start to grow them?

#### Sri replied on 2025-11-23

Around 2-3 months. I never thought it would grow or move a lot faster.
