I accidentally broke off a thick long red root while re-potting my 3 inch clump of Heliamphora Minor today. Do you think it'll be okay or did I just kill it? :( I had it growing in a 4" x 10" long glass cylinder vase so the center root ran all the way to the bottom and wrapped around some rocks.
I didn't realize this and just loosened all the growing media around the side of the vase before trying to scoop it out. When I got it out I noticed the broken root. :shock:
