Thank you for your reply, but just to let everyone know, I haven't buried the growth. It is hard to see, but the rhizome is sitting on top of bark, with the plastic stick just holding all of it secure in the pot. The stones are there to balance the top heavy pot. Why Paphioboy would the 'standard practices' in Asian countries be to remove the roots, what is the purpose of that?
