sunburned leaves

Question

We set my huge birds nest fern in the yard for 2 hours in May to wash our screened porch and furniture. When we put it back on the porch some of the leaves were burned. Can I cut them off with scissors?

Answer 1

Sure, you can remove those sunburned leaves with scissors. But now that the plant has experienced some stress, it might need extra TLC before it perks up and begins to put on new growth.
