Surface and air roots are common in greenhouses with daily watering and high humidity. Even moving them from someone else's greenhouse to mine will usually cause the air roots to dry off.

Often it is the crowded conditions on a growing bench that keeps the moisture in the roots. Even when I move a plant from a crowded tray to a better area to see it, the roots will dry off. The plant has more roots then it needs and a healthy plant will just grow new roots in a more appropriate way for your conditions.
