Many people do not like the air roots that their Monstera has and decide to cut them off. This is not a bad thing to do because loose air roots that don’t get to a water/food source have no function. However, if you want to give your plant a boost, you can lead the air roots to the pot instead of cutting them off. That way your upper leaves have an extra channel for food and water. You can easily propagate a Monstera, just find a leaf growing out of a stem with a short aerial root below it. Cut below that root, about 3-4 cm. Put the leaf in water, change weekly until roots develops and then pot your new plant in soil. Congrats, you have made a new baby Monstera!
