Fine moss on roots?
Default Fine moss on roots?

I am repotting my new Den kingianum hybrid now that it's finished blooming. There is some very fine moss attached to the roots. Is this harmful? Should I try to remove it completely? Do you think it might spread to my other orchids? Thanks for any help. If it matters I live in Central Florida where it is always very humid.

I don't think it should be a problem. The roots sure don't look like they mind at all

In its current state, it's no issue, but if the environment favors its growth, it may eventually clog the air flow.

Thanks for the replies. I washed the roots off good with the water hose and I cleaned most of it off so it should be fine until the next repot.
