What to do if Monstera grows aerial roots

1. The benefits of aerial roots

This plant relies on its powerful root system to survive. Due to its large size and lack of strong root system, it will not grow well and will be malnourished. It is precisely because of this strong root system that the plant can absorb large amounts of air and breathe fully.

2. What to do if aerial roots grow

Although aerial roots have many benefits, the roots of some flower lovers' plants are too long, which seriously affects their ornamental value. So we can take the following measures:

1. Once the plants in your home grow a lot of roots and look so messy, you can find a very sharp pair of scissors to trim off all the roots that are not growing well, which will not have a big impact on its growth. When pruning, you can cut off all those that affect the beauty, but be careful not to prune the roots of those leaves that have not yet matured, so as not to damage the plant.

2. When changing the plant's pot, you can also cut its roots shorter and then move it to a new pot and replant it. However, the newly transplanted plants will be smaller and will look good when placed indoors.
