I am attaching a pic of what this plants looks like, but instead, imagine the roots under the pb tightly wound up forming a thick canopy-the area underneath w/o roots, just strings from old roots I cut away.

There are new shoots on my plant about six or so, but no new roots with green tips indicating active growth. Isn't it Spring/Summer? Shouldn't there be roots growing along with the new pbs?

My real question is how to repot? Shd I leave the matted roots on top and just add new media to the top, or should I put the media under the roots, or does it really matter how I repot. The reason I am asking this is this. I heard that roots that are exposed do not like to be put under media. They like the air. Am I correc?t When am I going to see new roots?
