Macho Ferns get BIG. They makes a perfect porch fern as long as you have a big space for them. Full sun or shade, your Macho likes to stay well watered. Repotting into a larger pot will help keep your watering time down. In the shade these ferns will develop a deeper green coloring. In full sun expect a brighter color. Remove any dead or damaged fronds at the base. Overwintering indoors is possible if you keep your fern watered and warm. Macho ferns are more susceptible to cold temps than other fern varieties. Keep them above 40 degrees.
