Swiss Cheese Plant

Can I cut off the long danglling "roots" that grow down from the joint of a leaf, without doing any harm? I just want to cut off one in particular, which is growing upwards against the wall.

These are aerial roots that will cling or wrap around something to help your plant climb. It's best if you can lead the roots down into the soil as this will help make the plant stronger. If that isn't possible you can cut off the root. Wash your hands afterwards as the sap can cause a reaction.
