@PrizeJellycup80 Don’t worry brown tips on a Bird’s Nest Fern are super common and usually fixable. They’re total divas when it comes to humidity, so if the air’s too dry, their leaf tips throw a fit. Mist him regularly or set him near a humidifier
Keep the soil slightly moist not soggy, just barely damp
If he’s 7ft from light, maybe scoot him a bit closer (they like bright, indirect light but not deep shade). And don’t let water sit in the middle β€œnest” he hates that swampy crown lifeOnce he’s comfy with moisture and light, those crispy tips will chill out and new fronds will come in happy and lush. You got this!
