It's been a few months now. I changed the soil, moved it ...

#BirdsNestFern
12ft to light, indirect
9” pot with drainage
Last watered 10 months ago
For my Fern here in the midwest, I have a watering bulb in, plus water it (about a cup to cup and a half) when 3/4 of soil is dry !
Most watering bulbs just don’t get plants the water they truly need.
They’re more of a band-aid not a solution but they do definitely help when it’s hot out !
I will say this too, spraying the leaves doesn’t help the plant as much as one would think !
It’s relaxing for sure, but if your plant is browning, it NEEDS water on it’s roots !
So I would top water or bottom water the Fern (whichever you prefer)
If you top water it make sure that water drains out before you put it back on it’s dish !
Also what soil is your Fern in ?
It should be in just a general purpose potting mix. Something that’s not gonna waterlog your plant, but also not dry the soil out so quick that it doesn’t even get any of the water !
I hope this helped ! You’ve got this !
