It’s an aerial root! It’s very normal and usually I just let them be, or if possible, train them back into the soil. You can also cut them off if they become a problem - growing into areas that you don’t want them to (my large monstera was growing one that went basically to the floor and had to go).

Yes it is,the plant naturally grows on trees and those are to support it.

Mine has a giant aerial root too. In the wild they help the plant hook onto trees and climb

### LeafyGreenhouse commented on 2025-07-22

Those are aerial roots, completely normal

That is not a monstera that’s a pothos

It’s definitely a Monstera but I can see why you’d think so
