    Default Paph Root Question

    My Paph Ho Chi Minh seems to have survived the holiday dehydration well. I always let it dry out a bit more than the others but it didn't even miss a beat.

    I'm wondering about the roots on this guy. There are a lot of roots that are showing at the top of the medium. Is there anything I can do without harming the new growth? I can move it to a bigger pot and pot it deeper but I'm worried about rotting the new growth since it's quite low.

    Also do you think there is enough space for the new growth to mature (it really looks like it's kinda pushed in there. If I need to repot when is the best time?

    PS I think there is something else coming but I'm pretty sure it's a root. I don't think it can support another growth at this point.
