I have two plants that need repotting. While they're different
plants, I think that they're both similar enough in their
growing habits that the correct answers for one will apply
to the other. One is rabbit's foot fern or Davallia fejeensis.
The other is unknown, but it has the same look of the Davallia
with the rhizomes (not hairy) spreading over the surface of
the potting soil and wrapping over the growing down the side
of the pot. It also has foliage that pokes it's way out of
the rhizome.

Question is: When repotting, what do you do with the rhizomes
(is that the right term for them????) that have bent over the
edge of the pot? Do you wet them and try to straighten them
out so you aren't sticking them down into the new potting soil?
Do you cut them off at the rim of the pot? If you do cut them
off, can you take the small pieces and lay them on the surface
so that they will root?
