Can I safely cut off the long roots from my Vanilla Orchid? It has been outside and has numerous long roots coming from it. It needs to go into the greenhouse but the long roots are a problem.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

I myself wouldn't cut them unless they are brittle and dead. I might wet them until they are gently pliable and wrap them around a bit, so they take up less room.

Thanks Ursula - I did cut off the dead ones and your idea of wrapping them around the pot is a great idea.
