I would like to divide and transplant a very large fern (Dryopteris wallichiana) as it has got too big for where I planted it. Could you please advise me as to how and when I should attempt this?

Large ferns can be divided in spring and re-planted immediately into humusy, well-drained soil and watered regularly until growth is active.
Simply split the tuft of growth, using an old knife, or spade if necessary.
