Humidity makes a huge difference to roots outside the medium in the pot. On windowsills with low humidity, roots wandering out of the pot often die back to the pot. In higher humidity they grow out in the air. It has been very obvious since I put an evaporative cooler blowing on my plants, and relative humidity is now always above 60%.
