Default Water lillie's gone mad!

Hello all,

As it is winter here (UK) and the leaves have all died off, I thought it was
time I pruned my water lilly but when I lifted it from the pond it was a
mass of roots, etc. It has literally consumed the pot it was in. The
rootball must be 50 time bigger than when I bought it a couple of years ago.

Please can anyone help with tips on the best way to prune, propagate, etc as
I haven't done anything like this before. I can see some new plants among
the roots that I imagine can be propagated.

Thanks in advance,

John.
