Fern likes a lot of humidity. You need to mist the leaves regularly. That's all I know, because I have only succulents.

@ClearCatbrier Hello and welcome!! Ferns are known for this! They love humidity and they dry out fast!! Definitely spray at least everyday and make sure the soil doesn’t completely dry out, but at the same time don’t leave it soaked if that makes sense.

My guess would be the direct sunlight - looks to dislike direct sunlight and only prefers indirect light. This could very well be your issue if your watering schedule is dialed in and the fern is getting adequate water/humidity.

@GaryPoopins good catch! I didn’t look at her lighting!

Likely a combo of too much light and not enough humidity. I’d follow the above advice and make an effort to mist it frequently and move it to a shadier spot outside.

Thank you guys! I will spray it and leave it in a place that doesnt get too much sunlight!
Appreciate your responses and help 😇
