yep. take plant out of cache pot; put in sink; pour water generously
over aerial roots.
drain thoroughly, then put back in cache pot. i'd do all this first
thing in the morning so the crotch of the leaves has time to dry
before dark.
i have one that grew all its leaves in one direction, and a pile of
roots flowed over the pot rim in the other direction.
it was actually kind of cool.
(are you jane from the 'geeks??)

This may be from left field, but I was told if you keep the medium a little wet that the roots will tend to grow there rather than reaching out and exploring for moisture in the air
