How to fertilize Fan-leaved Maidenhair Fern

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Fan-leaved Maidenhair Fern after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Dying fern! Does anybody know what’s wrong and what I need to do to help her? Does she need more humidity? Less sun? I feel so bad for her!

Oh Fern, why? Last year I got a Maidenhair Fern. I stupidly believed at the time it was a low maintenance plant. I now realise, it isn't. However .. I SHALL NOT GIVE UP! so when I bought it, it was green, now it is pretty much purple and brown, and some parts are crispy. Not great! I believe the soil has become hydrophobic so I will repot with fresh soil. I also think I moved her to to big a pot too soon last year, would downsizing her help? How can I make her green and lush again 😭?? Extra information to help: my house is literally an ice cube, I've read recently that they like warm temperatures, would insulating the pot help? She gets indirect light, she used to be on a windowsill in the bathroom but that's when she changed colour and wilted so I've moved her downstairs where other plants have thrived and away from draughts. I thought about cutting away all the dead bits but..I think I would be left with a twig 👀 Can she be saved?! #maidenhairfern #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #dyingplant #greggang #newplantmom
