Is there a way to save my air plant?  
I was trying to remove a leaf that had dried and the roots came off of the main plant in the process D:  
This is my first air plant and I’m not sure if I can save it now :(

It should be okay! They mostly use those little roots to anchor themselves to something.

Of course, apparently if they’re imported into the us they have to trim all the roots. I learn a new thing every day lol
