Removing a birds nest fern attached to another tree.

Question

I have several birds nest ferns attached to sago palm trunks, a natural occurrence, I didn’t plant them there. I’d like to remove them and wonder how do I do that? I’ve tried prizing one off but it won’t budge. Do I need to cut them away? If so how deep are the roots and will it damage the sago palm?

Answer 1

Do not cut the fern, but simply tease and remove the plant with your hands.
I found a great Blog post that will help you!
