Hi,

I have a swiss cheese plant, (monstera delicisiosa) growing outside that is currently about 10 feet tall. Due to age, the lower leaves have died, but the plant is very healthy. The leaves are all at the top and there is a long bare stem, so it is not very attractive. The leaves are about 4 feet across and the stem is about as thick as a human arm (a slim human arm). I would like to cut the top 4 feet of the plant off and replant it. I know this is possible when the plants are smaller, but will it work with a stem that big? If so, should I put the aerial roots into the soil or should they be left in the air?

Thanks in advance.

Lynn
