I recently inherited this sorry looking maidenhair fern that had been seriously neglected. Following the care advice on here we finally have some green shoots!! Do I trim back the old growth now or let it do its thing? Even though the old leaves are dry/dead I don’t want to shock it.

    Trim it back. It will encourage more new growth

    It won't shock it. If the leaves are dead, as far as the plant is concerned they've already been cut off. Cutting them will let the new shoots get more light
