Ok my peeps check this. , I watered today upon doing so I had left a 5 gal. planter sitting in a big bowl to catch run off , being in a hurry I forgot and left it in the bowl so today when I picked up the planter there was a bit of water in the bowl with about 7"s of roots hanging from the planter laying in said water so my ? is should I cut the roots off or leave them....I put about a inch of tap water in the bowl so the roots would be in the water..they look fine , nice pearly white no brown like they were rotting or what not...should I just leave it be or cut them so the planter can sit directly on the floor ?

I would cut them they will die off eventually from air getting to them but it won't even affect the plant by cutting those lil bits of roots. Some people root prune and the air pots and oxy pots air prune the roots so should be just fine.
