Boston Fern

I have a Boston fern that has been looking great over the past few years and now has furry things wrapping around he pot. My guess is that they are the root. Should I transplant in a bigger pot and cover the furry things. Thanks.

Yes, these are shoots or runners of the plant and can be divided and transplanted to make additional plants. Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/boston-fern/boston-fern-runners.htm ^[1]
