Dry ? But soil is moist Could any of you give me insight on this button fern. The outer leaves look OK and feel OK but the inside is all dry and crunchy. The second Pic is just to illustrate how far it is from light. The picture and the plant tagged is my original picture of it.

Take a look at my plant. It looks like the leaves have started edges, right? Take a look at the underside. Those funny looking brown things are spores, according to a couple sites I found. I'd never seen this. Has anyone propagated from spores before? #PellaeaRotundifolia
