One weird leaf

What does it mean if there are brown spots developing on the tips of the plant?

The leaves appear to be getting too much water as they droop and are easily pulled out. What am I doing wrong!The water guide says the soil will be damp when it’s time to water.

My birds nest leaves are brown at the edges and some are brown with spots all over. I tried putting it outside for a few days out of direct light. I have her about 5 feet from an east facing widow.

are these bugs? 😭😭 the white on the leaves. additional pictures in comments.

Why are the tips of my birdies fern turned brown. 5 feet from a door, I haven’t over watered. This plant is new, I have only had it for a week.

So the "Greg app" says that the birds nest fern does not need any food, aka fertilizer. But I'm pretty sure that I added some worm castings to the soil. I have never had much luck with ferns. Except for this one.

Soft brown leaves

How do you propagate a birds nest fern?

My leaves are getting dry and dark in some spots. I only water when the soil is mostly dry and added a pebble tray with water under it a couple weeks ago. 🙁 she’s sad looking and I don’t know why.
