I don't believe in cutting roots, other than those that are truly dead - ie very soft, greyish white and super pliable/droopy. I say this because I have seen the gnarliest and driest of roots sprout new growth, if care is ideal. Also I am now a firm believer of clear plastic pots with slits and "peanuts" as a bottom layer to protect against the plant standing in water. I think light entering the pot helps stimulate root growth.

I think it does and also cures and prevents fungus from spreading.

Orchidsarefun...I'm glad I came here before I started snipping. That makes perfect sense. I also love your fine print.

Slobo...Thank you for the cinnamon "recipe." I can't wait to try it!
