Possible low light?

Hi everyone! I have a Boston Fern that was doing great until a couple of weeks ago. Recently, I’ve noticed that some of the fronds are drooping, and there are also a few yellowing fronds.

The plant is in a spot where in winter gets less hours of natural light, and it’s placed about 1 meter (3 feet) away from a heater.

Could this be caused by insufficient light, or is it more likely due to the dry heat from the heater?
Thanks in advance for your help!

It's likely that it's adjusting to less light. Are you watering less often or as usual? With it getting less light it won't use as much water. I usually let mine get almost completely dry before I water. Hope this helps and Good Luck πŸ€
The dry heat will suck the life out of your fern. They like moist heat. Try misting it several times throughout the day. οΏΌ
