I got this Philodendron Paraiso Verde from a nursery (she's out of quarantine finally) 💫  
No obvious issues other than, she cannot stand up in a pot \& I'm pretty sure she was growing sideways with these roots all crazy looking lol  
What should my next steps be?

Give her a supporting stake

I've had it supported on a trellis while it's in isolation! Some of the roots on the taller part of the stem are in soil. Mainly need advice on what to do with those \& how to not have her grow funky lol

She’s a philodendron, I feel like growing funky is their happy place. I keep my philodendron on trellises, which seems to give them a good way to stretch out but up instead of crawling.

I have her stabilized on a trellis right now, so i'll just leave her be!
