| Phal Roots
Hi Everyone...
I am new to growing orchids and new to this terrific site. I have several phals in a Manhattan apartment, and they're all doing well, just getting into late stages of this season's blooms. What do I do about all those long strands (roots?) hanging outside the pots. Some have more than others, and they seem to grow on the backside of the pots, away from the window and light source. They start out rather plump. then over time dry up but still look pale green. Should I cut these off? If so, should I cut them now or after the blooming has completely finished? Are they a sign of any problems?
Many thanks...Cynthia
