Brown Leaf Edges

I have a Bamboo Zebra Fern, and I have been watering it regularly. I make sure to keep the soil moist, it gets bright indirect light from a Northern-facing window, which it is about 5 feet from.

I am noticing lots of the leaves are starting to look brown around the edges, what’s causing this and how can I fix it?!

@SuperStarsedge misting should help. I don’t believe it could hurt. Even if you had a large plastic pitcher or glass bowl to use as a cover. It would purely be experimental to see if the edges stop from crisping/browning.
Hello what a beautiful plant so sorry she’s not well . If the roots are crowed this can happen when you water next time see if this may be the problem .It seems like you got everything else right . Best of luck
@SuperStarsedge I am not a big fern collector but this one I absolutely love. It’s on my wishlist & my local plant store has super healthy ones for sale. It is a plant that I would want to place in my cabinet. I feel that ambient home conditions could possibly dry the fragile edges. If you have a dome cloche, perhaps this will elevate the humidity level for it.
@Rockrlee would this fern benefit from misting? Unfortunately, I don’t have a cabinet I can put this little one in
