Roots growing through drainage holes in the bottom of the pot?
My favourite orchid has been in its pot for about a year now. I've noticed that its roots are coming through the drainage holes. One has turned onto an almost 90 degree angle by about 2cm, bending sideways (it has an outer pot which is probably creating resistance and causing this bending). Another root is peeping through about 1cm.
I am concerned that it will need to be cut off when I eventually re-pot. Should I soak the root for a few minutes, lift the orchid, and try and tease it back into the pot? I feel funny about the root taking the weight of the pot. Is this a sign it should be re-potted? I can see quite a few roots but the orchid looks happy.
Otherwise they are quite healthy roots and the bark media isn't decayed. What would you do? Thanks.
