On my monsteras I allow the roots to climb other plants and structures for support like they would in a natural environment. My largest M. deliciosa has wedged itself behind the electrical work and grown clear into the soil below the bench as well. I also have other specimens which I put at the bottom of Rubber trees and the vines grow like crazy. Some people build spanish moss towers to train the roots, but I find them interesting so I leave them visable. I doubt it would hurt it to cut them off, and I know that in low humidity conditions the roots will die back if they don't come in contact with soil.

Thanks, Nate - your plants look very nice. Perhaps I'll relocate mine so that it has something to climb up. Right now, it's just in the window sill. Maybe a trellis or perhaps one of my cornplants. :-)
