Macho Fern, Giant Sword Fern 'Macho'
Nephrolepis biserrata

Well I can now see why they call these "Macho ferns"...They grow absolutely huge. Very low maintenance also!

If I was transplanting it I would, but you can also trim them if they're too long. This plant sure grows huge - this one was a small one last year and I haven't repotted it yet! It's doing very well in a cramped pot and when I see any signs of decline, it's going into the ground.
