The plants around here do whatever they want to...they hang their roots up, over and around. I have quit fighting the inevitable....especially with a few of the phals. Some of my Phals have just amazing roots in the pots yet feel the need to grow aerial ones that go all over. If I repot the wandering ones, they just grow back upwards where they like it anyways. I even tried setting heavy shells on top of some of the aerial roots, they just attach to the shell go around it and back up on the other side.

I voted other, if the air roots will go into the pot easily I put them in BUT if they are too hard or long I leave them out. There is no point in forcing them & breaking them. You have just wasted your time, the roots will stop and be useless till they heal over and produce secondary roots provided they don't rot.
