How do I fix her ?

Just brought this plant home from the store. Was very dry. I added a half cup of water . #PlantAddict
3ft to light, indirect
4” pot with drainage
Last watered 3 years ago

It looks like it needed a really good soaking for awhile so the soil gets really wet and then time will tell. Plants are very resilient so it may be able to recover by simply being in the right location with proper light and watering at the correct times. It already looks better in the more recent pic. But don’t be afraid to give it a lot of water for right just this moment to ensure it really gets hydrated. Then you can wait awhile to water again and monitor it. Hopefully it will recover just fine in time
Whew😳.. that's rough... you might have to chop it down completely and start fresh with new growth. 😬
@ManyLime awwwwe man. I was thinking that but though I could save it some other way . Thanks so much!
Did it perk up at all after the water?
Oh boy. Well, mostly dead is still slightly alive🧐. It might be a long road but always worth a try!
@Kace I gave her some more water today and the stems did perk up πŸ₯Ή

@Capricornlove That’s good news! I wouldn’t chop it all just yet. Stems that didn’t perk up, and the yellow/brown leaves can probably go. I’m not familiar with this particular plant, but I believe green leaves are good. Maybe add some fertilizer the next time you water?
I'd give it more water. Just set it in some and let it soak it up completely bc it seems to be crispy. And then wait and then chop and prop when it has a little more strength
@SirLiquorice thanks so much for this advice. I totally forgot this is a fern and thr should needs to me moist at all times. I gave her some more water today and the stems are perking up more. I’m going to prune old leaves and stems and send a new pic soon ❀️
@Kace yes! I added some fertilizer today. Great advice ❀️
@KrunchyWrap I’m gonna give her more water later on. Im misting her too ☺️
@Capricornlove Any progress?
@Kace I truly think she was dehydrated and in the wrong spot. She’s here now and is doing great I think πŸ₯°
@kace thanks so much for checking up on her πŸ’š
@Capricornlove Yay! Hopefully you see some new growth soon!
