How do divide ant fern?

[Jcal]

I was wondering if anyone had advise on controlling this plant. It is growing outside of its pot and bullying other plants. Should I just clip off the protruding growth? Can I root clippings?

I usually just cut or rip off chunks of my L.sinuosa. Doesn't seem to bother the main plant and the pieces root and grow easily.

I have snapped a piece off my l . Sinuosa at a joint in the rhizome and it rooted

Thanks for tips gents. I'll rip the extra off and see if it roots. Or give it away....

I prefer to "wiggle" them off by hand rather than slice into the plant arbitrarily. I prefer divisions to have roots since it's faster, but unrooted ones are OK.
