hahaha...that's not an air root just a stubborn root. If you soak the plant for a bit to make the root more pliable and use a twisty tie to secure it, it will head down into the medium. The trick...

I agree. That is why I mentioned scooping out some of it. Cut the least amount possible and scoop out the rest. Either way, it may be too far gone already.
