How to Prune golden polypody?

Golden polypody, known for its distinctive large fronds, thrives with minimal pruning. Trim dead or yellowing leaves in early spring to encourage healthy growth. Maintain cleanliness around the base to prevent fungal issues. Avoid cutting into the rhizomes — the plant's natural growth pattern prefers undisturbed spreading. Regular pruning enhances its lush appearance and vitality, ensuring airy fronds. Follow these guidelines for a robust and attractive golden polypody.
