Trimming Indoor Ferns
- Remove any fronds infected with scales. When scales attack the plant, the leaves will likely turn yellow and may weaken. Scales can spread, so remove any fronds you see with shears or scissors. Outdoor ferns also get scales, but you should try controlling them with oil-based spray pesticides instead of pruning.
