@coldzone can you add a photo to the comments here?
I have a rather large Boston fern and when the tips dry out there can be a few things to check:
•is it in the path of a draft or heat vent?
•is it getting enough water?
•is the light it’s getting too strong.
I don’t find I need to mist my ferns unless it’s in path where it gets a heat vent blowing on it or people walking past it touching it. But if the new fiddleheads are dying are their pests involved?

No heating vents close, next to a window is all. I am only watering it once a week and this app said every 5 days, 1.5 cups. Maybe the bathroom would be a better choice? Could the cold from a window be bad? We have snow here and it's in the upper teens some nights so windows can be cold. I don't think I was watering it enough🤔
