Advice needed. My Monstera plant has a lot of these rope like stems growing. What are they and do I cut them or let them continue too grow.

They’re arial roots, you can chop them, stick them in water, wrap them around your support, or stick them in the soil. You can literally do whatever you want to them

In their natural habitat the aerial roots are intended for climbing. If you give her a moss pole that she can root into she will grow larger leaves and be happier in general.  
Godspeed! 💚💚

Moss poles also require significantly more upkeep than stakes. But you can also wrap the aerial roots around then stake and then stick the ends in the dirt when they’re long enough if you want them to still be useful to your plant without the extra upkeep
