Need suggestions/advice. Love this Monstera and cheer any new frond growth! However, the air roots…can I cut them or direct them back into the moss pole? Any other suggestions?

You can cut them off but I usually guide them back into the soil.

I put them back into the soil. Extra nutrients for the plant!!

Yes, put them back into the soil. I wouldn’t cut them, they help with stability and nutrients!!
