I think this is the "problem" in a nutshell. I don't think surface texture come into play as roots grow just fine into the air and stick well to the inside of plastic pots.

As long as you are getting new root growth, and the old root die-off is not so drastic as to hurt the plant, I'd say you are doing just fine.
