Need help saving Aerangis Fastuosa with black roots

[thisisirene]

@Purpoh, I am tempted to keep it!

That said, @jkofferdahl, thanks for the tips and the hope. I've actually mounted the little guy to wood for now, with a little moss. I left the roots largely alone (no trimming, etc.). I've noticed that the spike has already been turning brown, so think your advice on snipping it is one I'll take.
