If some of your orchid’s roots are beginning to grow above the surface of the growing medium, your orchid has air roots. Some people refer to them as aerial roots, and the sight of these above-soil roots may make you worry that your orchid has outgrown its pot or that you've neglect...
Its roots need to breathe, so submersing them in water can harm or even kill your plant. You must also mist the leaves and aerial roots of your plant periodically if you live inside a dry area, but avoid getting water on your orchid’s flowers as this can make them rot....
Otherwise, watch for signs the plant needs a new pot. When the new leaves grow, older leaves below them die back. This means the stem becomes long and leggy beneath the new growth and exposed, aerial roots develop. This results in a shabby-looking, top-heavy plant. When new leaves appea...
While their dislike of soggy roots makes it sound unlikely,growing orchids in watercan provide a solution that allows the plants to stay hydrated without rotting. Rather than being constantly submerged, roots are usually soaked for two days and then allowed to dry out for five days. Some grower...
When an orchid spills out of its pot, the roots trail down the sides of the pot, or the growing medium is reduced to crumbs, it’s time for repotting. Repot at the beginning of the next growth cycle (typically in the spring). ...

Aerial roots grow down over the edge of the pot. If the orchid is potted in coarse bark, the bark may be crumbly and soil-like, instead of firm. If you haven’t repotted your Phalaenopsis in three or more years, that’s another sign that it’s time to repot your orchid. Fresh orc...
Aerial roots had δ 13 C values close to those of leaves which have been previously demonstrated to possess crassulacean acid metabolism. Variation in δ 13 C values along the length of the roots was observed; the root tip having a less negative δ 13 C value (—13.34%‰) than the older...
This is one of the first reports of a diverse community of fungi traditionally considered to form ectomycorrhizas in association with aerial orchid roots. Further research is needed to understand the functional role of these putative mycorrhizal fungi in the ecology of V. planifolia, and if ...
