paphs with uncovered roots-what to do

[TER]

Hi,

I prepared my orchids for a 2 week absence making a sort of improvised mini greenhouse for some of them. They enjoyed it, but now I have a paph sukhakulii and a Paph venustum growing roots outside the substratum.

My question is:

a) Should I keep them in that kind of high humidity/ low light environment until the roots are long enough to get them in the substratum?

b) get them out of the improvised mini greenhouse and wait to see? I am worried more light+more heat+less humidity will kill them.

Some photos:



Thank you in advance.

In nature, paphs tend to spread their roots laterally in the ground/leaf little interface. They'll grow down into the medium shortly.
