Default What should I do?

I have a phal that I repotted earlier this spring and it sat there and sat there. I was wondering if it was going to get any new growth going. Now all of a sudden its taking off and I have nice, new bright green roots poking out in several directions but they are above and beyond the pot's edge. Should I leave it be and keep doing what I am doing with water and fertilizer or should I put it in a bigger pot???

Perfectly normal, leave it be. I spray aerial roots a few times a week.

It's normal.these are called Aerial roots wich means they do not cling on or stay in the pot but to just wander freely.these roots catch water using moisture in the wild. Just mist them and they will grow normally
