So on the monstera do you snap off the aerial roots? I like the uncluttered look of yours.

Question

ForwardPlant Team · Accepted Answer

On Monstera, aerial roots are a fascinating adaptation for support and nutrient absorption. While some gardeners trim them for aesthetic reasons, it's generally not recommended to "snap them off." These roots are crucial for the plant's natural growth habit and overall health, especially as it matures. For a tidier look, you can gently tuck them into the pot or train them to climb, but avoid aggressive removal to ensure your Monstera thrives.
