Bird’s nest fern

Question

I bought a bird’s nest fern that has some distorted fronds. There are a couple that are twisted and two that are horizontally cracked about 2/3 up from the pot. My guess is that it was not packed well by the shipper or mishandled. Should I cut them off at the bottom? I can’t imagine that either the twists or cracks will self heal.

Answer 1

No, leaf damage will not heal.
Give the plant time to acclimate and wait until you have active growth before trimming any damaged leaves.
