Put it in the shower and anywhere else, it can get humidity with low light. if you are in a pinch to get it to perk back up, you can always put it in a Tupperware container with saran wrapped over the lid.

Hi @JewelledRoselle it looks like at some point it got too dry maybe?  This fern likes to stay consistently moist but NOT wet or soggy. Too much water or not enough water can make her unhappy. I’d trim off those stems that are very dry or brownish. They won’t turn green again. Any that are maybe just limp might perk back up. You may want to check the roots to make sure that there isn’t root rot going on. Check for brown mushy roots and any that smell bad.

I always make sure the soil in mine is atleast a bit wet and mist it often, they usually shrivel up from low humidity and too little water
