Hello fellow Maniacs  
I know air roots are part of the monstera, but I don’t know if I’m meant to do anything (about/with/for them)  
Info? Suggestions?

You can leave them as is, you can cut them off, you can stick them back into the soil once they’re long enough.

Really its up to you :)

I like fuller plants so I would chop and prop. I see you have some poles to hold it up. You can also train it to grow up the poles. You would need some kind of hydration on the poles to accomplish this though. Like a drip waterer.

Monstera also like to crawl, so you can get a rectangular pot and lay stem on the soil. The aerial roots will grow into the soil and have the same effect as a moss pole!
