Maybe like this?

And then the rest of the plant into another pot...http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/10/derusepa.jpg...it'll still have 2 leads on opppsite sides though...

But then the new growths on this division, http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/10/ura8yqu7.jpg will be super slanted... It'll right itself won't it?

Would this be too small of a division?

I'd say if its climbing, let it. It's what it wants to do. I have one like this that's a cross that is doing something similar. I just repotted it with fresh media and let it be.

But you could try to get two plants outta it :)

Ya, i think my mom will be pretty happy if i did! Lol. Well, i figure i have to repot anyways cause the media smells funky... And the roots climbing out of the pot look so sad and dry... Crispy almost! Lol

One more thing, of you do repot and leave it be, you could try increasing thr humidity near the exposed roots or spray them when they are getting dry. If not, it'll sort ittself out.

Ok, so here's the divisions... Not potted up yet though...http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/10/apy7ujyq.jpg

Really? I like the climbers. Reminds me that they don't live in pots in the wild :rofl: I have an Onc. in spike that is climbing out of the pot so much that his roots started to dig into one of my Paph. pots. We're talking about a foot of distance between the 2!

Wow, those are some pretty long roots! Well, you know what they say....the grass is always greener on the other side! :lol:
