I have an indoor fern. It's leave are touching the ground. Can I trim it? Or will it harm the plant?

Not as much as manhandling it during the trim. The meristematic(growth point) area of a fern is on the edges of the leaves. so wherever it touches might brown or die back, but it sounds like you are doing something right.

Most ferns can be safely trimmed, but why not re-pot it into a larger pot?
