Its normal and u can tuck them back into the pot once it starts getting bigger. Otherwise they tend to trail the floor #### Rochelle respondi贸 el 2026-02-28 thank you so much! ### plantgeek coment贸 el 2026-02-28 aerial root. you can chop them off if you want, it won't hurt the plant. they form because monstera naturally want to climb something, but you don't really have to worry about supports until they're real big. ### Celesta coment贸 el 2026-03-01 An alien finger 馃憖馃槰 ### Wyatt coment贸 el 2026-03-01 That鈥檚 a arial root! It helps the plant latch to trees in the wild and it鈥檚 the reason you eventually get a support pole or trellis, it just gives a big plant sturdiness. If you put it back into the soil it becomes a soil root and that鈥檚 just another way to get more nutrients to your plant. --- _La comunidad de Planta (https://getplanta.com).
