I just got this guy last weekend and he seems pretty healthy to me but not sure if these roots are supposed to be sticking out of the pot like this? I didn’t think I’d need to repot since I just got it but just not sure if this is okay / normal for a monstera?
They are aerial roots not the normal roots. They are used by the plant to stabilise itself. You can leave them as is or direct the roots into the soil.
1 like Wow no way. Yeah they seem pretty hard/thick and I fear I’d break them trying to point them back into the soil. I guess I’ll leave them for now 🤷🏼♀️ thank you!
0 likes Yeah once they grow longer it will be easier😊 you should start to see them further up the main stem when maturer.
I put mine in water and it grew so well now I’m directing it to soil!
