Hi!

Could you please post a photo of your ailing plant?

Are you, by chance, misting it? If so, it's recommended to not mist most plants because the continuous moist topsoilcan create fungal and bacterial infections and will eventually harm or even kill plants.

Misting also attracts the dreaded, pest...fungus gnats!

Oh!

I scrolled down and found a photo of your plant that you posted.
@CutePolypremum hi no Iโ€™m not misting it at all

Hi again!
I'm not sure what the problem is but am going to share your post with some plant whisperer friends who will be able to help you!

There are some other folks I was hoping to add but can remember their tags!
@CutePolypremum awe thank you much!!
@CutePolypremum Joanie is right we cannot make a diagnosis without a photo.
I also am not confident that that is a hens and chicks fern if it's the one on your oasis. To me it looks more like a rabbits foot fern. Does it by any chance have white fuzzy rhizomes above the soil?
