Had several mild winters and this fern did well. I brought it in this summer because I felt like this fern really deserved to be a speciman plant and it was showy in a pot.

I have kept this plant in a breezeway that is unheated and a bright room (temps are approximately 40- F. We are in the midst of a severe winter and it might not have survived outdoors. I need to do more research on this particular variety.

Dividing this fern does not appear to be as easy as some, from looking at its foot.
