I cut back the dead and bad looking foliage once the new broth begins every year. And repot every few years. I was told not to cut back my birds nest fern, but it was taking up so much room in the winter inside, I cut back every leaf....didn't hurt it one bit, they put new leaves from the middle anyway, now two years later it's bigger than ever!
