root pruning

Question

I have a mature silver lace plant twisted around an arbor. It is beautiful but I was working in my garden and found some long roots underground about 8 feet away and cut them! It then dawned on me that it was the silver lace roots. Did I kill my plant? There is no greenery on it yet but I think it is a late bloomer anyway. HELP

Answer 1

I doubt you could have cut enough to do serious harm. what proportion of an 8ft circle did you cut the roots away from?
