New plant addict here! I purchased this monster Monstera at a local nursery during an end of season sale. Please help on what I should do with all of these roots?

Repot and add support! :)

Could also chop and propagate.

Those are aerial roots which can grow like that without a problem. You can also add some support poles to help her grow bigger

It does look like she needs a repot thought I’d repot in a chunky mix with a support pole. You don’t need to bury all those aerial roots in the soil. But you can if you want to
