Started Browning?

there are some of the old leafs that are kind of becoming crispy and yellowish, this plant suffered a big change, I bought it from a place that sold them outside in the cold, and now it's in my bathroom so it could be that or maybe something else #AsparagusFern

To prevent your asparagus fern from turning brown, ensure consistent moisture (not soggy), provide bright indirect light, maintain high humidity (misting/humidifier), use lukewarm water, keep it away from cold drafts and direct sun, and feed it regularly, remembering brown tips often mean too little water or humidity, while yellowing can signal overwatering or low light. Watering & Humidity
Keep Soil Moist: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, but never let it dry out completely or stay soggy to avoid root rot.
Use Lukewarm Water: Cold water can shock the plant.
Boost Humidity: Mist daily or use a humidifier, as they love humidity.
Light & Temperature
Bright, Indirect Light: Place near a sunny window but shield from harsh, direct sun, which scorches fronds.
Avoid Cold: Keep away from cold drafts and temperatures below 50Β°F (10Β°C).
Other Tips
Fertilize: Feed every couple of weeks during the growing season.
Prune: Cut back dead or brown stems to encourage new growth.
Repot: Repot every few years if root-bound. You can cut off the whole leaf, because once it’s brown it won’t revert back to green.
Pretty plant but ferns need sun so you should put it closer to a window that gets good sunlight and water when the soil is dry and cut off the yellow brownish leaves
@VocalAtlascedar oh the girl that sold me the plant told me that it didn't need almost any sunlight, it's pretty close to the window tho so I'll se what I can do.
do you mean cutting the whole leaf or just the dried parts?
@Ms.Persnickety thank you so much for
