Can yo u propagate Monstera using aerial roots? (Do they help?)
Aerial roots on Monstera kept as houseplants are normally dehydrated and appear as dense hardened fibrous finger-like structures.
However when they are surrounded by suitable growing medium, such as soils, the bark of a tree or a moss pole, aerial roots have the potential to branch out and establish a dense new network of roots.
If you propagate a Monstera from a cutting that includes an aerial root, it will have grown out of a node, which makes it ideal an ideal candidate for a cutting as additional roots can develop and support the already existing aerial root.
So retaining aerial roots on your cut will make them more likely to propagate quicker.
