Should I Cut My Monstera’s Aerial Root?

Asked By PlantLover93#42 On

I just got an Albo cutting that has an aerial root about 5 or 6 inches long, and it looks like there's a root starting to grow at the end of it. I'm wondering if it's okay to cut that aerial root down to about 2 inches or if I should just leave it as is for better growth. What do you think?

Do you think you could post a photo of it? That might help to get more specific advice on what to do with the root. Just curious to see how it looks!

Sure! I can share a photo when I get home later today.

You definitely don't want to cut that aerial root! It's meant to grow and help the plant. Cutting it could inhibit its growth, so just let it be and let nature do its thing.
