How to care for the brown edges of the erect sword fern p...

Hi All,

I'm new to the app and the community here and wanted to learn from you regarding the captioned issue. I'm attaching the photograph of the brown edges. Thanks in advance!

Hi Ashay! I don't have this particular plant, but typically when ferns have brown crispy edges it's either underwatering, too much direct light, too low humidity, or some combination of the three. You might consider running a humidifier close by, as ferns LOVE high humidity. You can also mist it occasionally, but the key is keeping the humidity level consistently above 60-70%.
@stephonicle thanks a lot, let me try it out
