My Strelitzia has outgrown its pot. I am not strong enough to lift a

I gave one to a friend last year, can't remember exactly when.
Previously it had been outside in a small blue plastic barrel through
a winter, which did it no good at all. They hacked it in two quite
brutally they said, and both halves are alive and doing OK. One half
actually flowered a month ago, although the flower was rather small.
