This orchid's roots wanna reach for the stars

[cythaenopsis]

This photo was taken last month. As you can see, there is a pair of aerial roots that are reaching past the edge of the pot.



This is how it looks now, in just under 4 weeks. The plant seems hell bent on sending these roots out further and further. What am I going to do when they're reaching over past the adjacent pot of another orchid? Will the plant eventually stop or will I have to prune them? Is there an alternative to pruning, such as soaking for a while to soften them up and then curling them back towards the pot?
