Any suggestions for the aerial roots?? I usually just leave them be😊

Beautiful 🫶

I also leave aerial roots be! If they’re growing downwards and fit into the pot, I angle them into the pot to help growth. If not, I let them do their thing!

Beautiful plant. How often do you water? If you fertilize, what do you use?? I’m newer to monsters plants too??

I’ve had this baby for over 2 years now, and haven’t done anything special! I am a lazy plant parent, so I really have just watered it when I’ve thought of it (every 1-2 weeks) and have never fertilized and it’s been thriving! It got sunburnt last summer and has finally returned to peak health!
