Autumn is the best time to prune and repot the fern, because the plant recovery ability is relatively strong at this time, and dead, withered, and yellow leaves of the fern can be removed, which can promote inter-plant growth. The ventilation should be smooth to avoid rot and maintain the overall beauty of the plant. If you see dense branches and leaves, you can also thin them out, and cut the long branches and leaves into short sections. After pruning, move them to a semi-shady and well-ventilated environment.

Pruning time of ferns

Autumn is the best time to prune and repot ferns, because the plants at this time have stronger recovery ability and can grow quickly after pruning. In the growing state, the damage to the plants is relatively small. If the temperature in spring is suitable, pruning can also be carried out.

Methods and steps for pruning the fern

1. The fern grows very quickly during the peak growth period. The dense branches and leaves will weaken the growth of the plant and block the lower part. The old branches and leaves are not exposed to light and ventilation, which will easily cause the leaves to rot, so the fern must be pruned in time during the period of rapid growth.

2. Dead leaves, withered leaves, and yellow leaves of the fern can be removed, which can promote smooth ventilation between plants, avoid rot, and maintain the overall beauty of the plant. Dense branches and leaves can also be thinned out when seen If necessary, the long branches and leaves should be shortened.
