Hi all,
I'm seeing a couple of pink aerial roots on my largest Capensis and was wondering if I can propagate new plants from these. I don't want to harm the plant by cutting off the root, I understand that they're grown for a specific purpose, but I'm curious if this has been tried.

Capes are pretty tough, go for it and let us know. Worst case scenario, if it kills your plant, I'll send you more plants next spring.

Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason is that I make bad decisions.
