Hi @WinsomeKamahi95 Blue Star ferns are so beautiful! And yours is such a big one! 🤩 I’d say a couple of things may be going on. It could be mature leaves that have seen their time. When mine gets older leaves they get brownish and the stem easily pops off the plant 🪴. I would say though that 6+ hours of direct SW sun might be too much. Perhaps move her back a bit, more like 2-3 feet from the window. Also her plant profile says in a wood pot with no drainage. I’m assuming that’s not correct, that she’s in a pot inside that wooden basket?? Hopefully that pot has drainage holes 🕳️ ? Fix that so Greg can correctly figure out proper watering. Right now Greg will hold back on water because it’s “in a pot with no drainage”. So based on that, check the soil and make sure it’s not too dry. That could cause dry leaves 🍂 too.
It’s a fern, unfortunately they kind of do that unless you have high humidity or else they jusr crisp up 😅
A good alternative is a staghorn fern, they’re really fun to grow and don’t need high humidity.
