I’m a new monstera mama. What do I do with this? I’ve got her climbing a bamboo pole. Should I use something else?

It’s just her aerial root. You can leave it cut it. I typically bury mine in the pot if at all possible

ooohh interesting, could totally be true — i haven’t really done much research other than just doing it myself so thank you for sharing! i stick em in the soil after they get long enough, luckily haven’t noticed a decline

it definitely promotes growth, but sounds like i should do some more research! you’ll likely see growth slow when putting it in soil after water, as roots grown in water will take time to acclimate to soil no matter what, but i’d hope it wouldn’t become reliant on growing in water only. plants are so silly lol
