Question

Hey #monsteramob I need your input here! I'm about to repot this #monsteradeliciosa and I can't decide what to do about these three growth points.

A. Repot deeper and ignore them.
B. Buy #keikipaste and convince them to grow.
C. Leave them above the soil and let the plant do what it's going to do.
D. Something else?

The plant currently has two branches up above and is happy as a clam. Each aerial root is aimed at the soil or in it.

I’m torn. I’d say ignore the bottom one. Bury it. Slice it off. Whatever you’re into.

The middle one looks like it’s got some potential. Maybe add a little extra plant food the next time you water?

Personally I’d go with A if it was mine.  I just did this with my monstera Standleyana. It has great roots but had a bunch of growth points along a stem with no leaves for about 6inches so I repotted and potted that entire part.  Im leaving it to either grow more roots and just to see what will happen.

@PerfectPinkpoui · Answer

I would leave them above the dirt and try to encourage growth.

I wouldn't personally do A just because I know there is a chance that by putting the leaf in the soil it could go soggy and turn the plant into a mess and then I have to try and start the damn root system for the whole plant all over again!! 😫 (Had this happen it was so frustrating!)

@toomanyplantss · Answer

If you do A, the plant would get root bound more easily, which isn't a bad thing, but you would have to repot a little more often than before.
I would leave it above soil, and let it grow. You can always cut it off if you need to.
