Ok, do I have this right? I could cut this monstera resulting in 4 parts. The one in the pot and each of three pieces that are connected to the aerial roots below. So I cover each of the aerial roots in moss and plastic wrap until roots start forming and then I plant them in soil right? One of the aerial roots is like 3-4 ft long. Not sure how I’ll handle that or even get it into a pot. Generally speaking tho, cut, wrap, bury right?
