Pruning a Sensitive Fern So my sensitive fern (the kind that recoil with touch) is thriving, but some of his leaves are useless with how he placed them. Would it be safe to cut the circled stems? If so, do I cut them at the node? If not, what can I do? This is the only place that is safe for him from the cat. He gets about 8 hours of indirect sunlight a day.
