Re-pot it next Spring. When the new growth has emerged, you can remove the dead fronds.
I like to work on ferns from March to May, whether they're in containers or in the ground.
I've attached a link to my Thread on a re-potting I did this Spring. I cover potting mix, root-
trimming, and container-size. Let me know if you have any questions.
