Shriveled up!
My pacific maidenhair fern recently started looking like this and i don’t know whats wrong. I water it regularly and it shouldn’t be an issue with water. Im thinking of separating the three plants in the pot and giving them their own pota for more room. But i’m not sure if that will solve the whole problem. Does anyone have any ideas of whats wrong or how to help? Thank you for any response.

@Nature_freak9 I didnt know they needed humidity. No i dont have one near by. Ill repot it and put it in my bathroom maybe that will help
@FunSuncup63 yes a bathroom would definitely help! And yeah pretty much all types of maidenhair ferns are suppperrrrr sensitive to humidity and like a pretty high humidity percentage (50-70%). A bathroom should be a great spot for it. Let’s hope it’ll bounce back! Just a heads up though, fully crisped fronds will not turn green again, however maidenhair ferns are very resilient and will shoot up new fronds to replace the dried ones!
Also this is what my northern maidenhair fern looks like 😭 it dropped most of its fronds due to root damage from root mesh removal, root rot, and very low humidity. I’m not sure if mine will ever bounce back due to severe root damage, but if a maidenhair fern has healthy roots, then it should grow new fronds in no time!
@FunSuncup63 if you do move it to the bathroom, make sure it has sufficient light.
