Barkeria Spectabilis - Trim dry roots before slab mounting?
Default Barkeria Spectabilis - Trim dry roots before slab mounting?

Good evening all! I'm new to OB, and a relatively new chid lover. I have two Phals, and today I adopted what I think is a Vuylstekeara Cambria, as well as a Barkeria Spectabilis.

As you can see in the attached photo, there are a lot of old dried up roots on the Barkeria. Should I trim these before slab-mounting? I also read that these go dormant in the winter, but it looks like I have some new root and leaf growth so I don't think mine is. Is it best to slab-mount when the plant is dormant or does it really matter?
