This is a family Fern that has been passed down now to me.... the 4th or maybe 5th generation to care for it. I know nothing about it, other than how to water it and to keep it in the house for the winter. We take it out in the summer after frost. When it gets too big, we have split it and given away pieces to friends. Some have been successful with their plants and some have not. Any help with identification and specific care, would be greatly appreciated. This specific plant has been in the family for around 100 years, give or take. I would like to keep it going and be able to give the right instructions for care to the next generation. All information and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
