Unhappy Killed some root growths on my Paph...

I just noticed this today when I decided to lift the sphagnum I have covered the surface of the medium with, on my Paph. I spotted two fuzzy root knobs with very dry tips...

It never occurred to me to keep the surface of the medium moist since I thought the roots would emerge lower down on the stems. Seems I was wrong. I have added a bit more sphagnum on top of the medium and will now try to keep it moist so as not to repeat the mistake.

The reason I'm writing this is so that other Paph newbies out there, will hopefully learn something from my mistake.
