I had seen someone on yt say if you cut the thin roots and keep the thick one, it help the W.L grow faster and plump. It's a experiment he's been trying out and honestly his L.W look very healthy and plump. Have you every tried this or know anything about it?
Hi, I don't know if you're referring to secondary roots or hair roots, the very fine ones. Some people cut the secondary ones to make the main root grow bigger, I don't do that. Recently repotted some plants that were in clay pots, my favorites, but I had to change them to square plastic pots, to lack of space. I removed most of the fine roots, which had taken the shape of the pot, and were firmly clinging to it. The secondary roots were well developed. I'll show you in the next video. I am familiar with the process of cutting the secondary roots, although I do not practice it. I generally only remove the fine roots because it makes potting easier, allowing the substrate to surround the entire root without empty spaces. They would dry out anyway, and new ones would grow. But the secondary roots I never cut. My goal is to have healthy, natural-looking plants as much as possible. If plants are in an environment conducive to developing large roots, they will do so. Lots of heat, little humidity, inorganic substrate, and a period of inactivity, for example. They, within their capabilities, will adapt to the environment in which they are. They can grow with flat heads, with a large amount of "farina" and large roots, or as green balloons and thin roots, and within a huge variety of intermediate stages.
@@lophofloraohhh now i see a difference in the roots, I thought It was just the thick one and the thin ones. Thanks for the information! I'm waiting on some seeds so I can finally start growing mine and just trying to educate myself as much as possible lol. That's a beautiful garden you have, and great videos btw.
Nice little lophs
