Got this The Anthurium DocBlock Michelle today when I repot it should I put the air roots under the soil?

Definitely air roots naturally grow for support so YES

You can cover them now, you don't have to wait for repotting. If you're going to give it several weeks to settle first.

I put sphagnum moss collars around mine, they love it, just have to make sure it stays moist 💚

So I had to repot it today it was starting to look a bit sad. And then I found a slug on the bottom of the pot. I rinsed the roots some looking for more. Didn’t fully rinse all of the old soil off. Now I’m not sure if I should cut the bloom off it’s starting to wilt.
