I was gifted this orchid almost 3 years ago on Valentine’s Day and the aerial roots have continued to grow downwards, parallel to the wall. They’ve made it about 3 feet now, but I’m going to have to move it soon so that they don’t start to attach to the carpet – just had to show it off 😜

Now those are roots! But if you repot this orchid, you can tuck the aerial roots into the pot, if you want.
Not a quirk of nature… a sign of needing help.
You could fix the source of the problem instead of looking for a higher location.
Have you done anything to the pot in the last three years?
Your plant – your right.
Maybe one day it’ll be Guinness World Record material 😉
There are roots. I periodically take the root ball out to check. Everything inside the pot is healthy and I remove any old dead roots. I’ll definitely keep that in mind though
Wow. Beautiful
Thank you for sharing! Very interesting.
I think it looks cool, but you need to give it a name. He’s earned it!
Beautiful the down votes are just envious .
Amazing and healthy
Might be a great candidate for mounting.
Keep on!
New shoelaces!
