Are aerial roots of Phalaenopsis still useful after being cut off?
Several plump white "little whiskers" have popped out from outside the Phalaenopsis pot. I looked it up and found out they are aerial roots. So can these things actually be cut? If they are accidentally broken off, are they still useful? The aerial roots of Phalaenopsis "can be cut, but it is not necessary to cut them, and you definitely should not cut them carelessly." You first need to understand what these aerial roots are for - Phalaenopsis in the wild originally grows on trees, not rooted in soil. These aerial roots are its "hands" and "nose": on one hand, they can grip the bark to anchor itself; on the other hand, they can directly absorb water and oxygen from the air, and even help with photosynthesis. So if the aerial roots are not damaged and are still green and plump, keeping them is only beneficial to the orchid, and there is no need to cut them at all.
