Aspargus Fern

I'm sorry I don't know the scientific name.. I've brought most "house plants/tropicals" inside (Sigh). About the asperagus fern, I'm trying to decide if it's worth it... for the pretty foliage (though berries toxic to animals, I know), etc..
I groomed it, prepped it, gave it massive haircut... Question, how "messy" are they inside? Do they drop a lot of needles? I've never noticed outside.
I saw a picture somewhere on a forum here of someone's who was going to enter hers in a fair, it was gorgeous. I also have a lot of plants inside.
What do they need indoors? Light-wise? Humidity-wise? I know the potential problem of bugs, despite their "disinfecting".
Also, they grow fast (obviously), pretty potbound, IF I bring inside, would it be okay in this pot until spring? Or should I literally hack in/knife it in half first?
Thanks for any opinions!
