Aerial Roots

[baytownboy]

Hi,

A visitor checking out the long aerial root on one of my phals, CUT IT OFF without asking me.

Is there I can do FOR this AERIAL ROOT now that it's separated from the plant?

Thanks,

Romulus

hi romulus,
nope, there is nothing you can do, but if the plant is healthy it should grow back the lost roots.

As Walingwaling says, it won't cause any permanent damage, but I would keep sharp instruments away from visitors in the future .
