Welcome to Greg Birdie, this is a great app and a wonderful community.
I would check the soil and also the roots, these plants like to be keep most but not wet.
I noticed your plant card says it's in a pot with no drainage, this causes water to sit in the bottom of the pot and cause root rot.
Happy growing 🍃🌱🌿💛

@Birdielivid Welcome to Greg, Birdie!
If your maidenhair fern dries out and its fronds turn brown and die, there may still be hope. Cut the fronds off at soil level, and keep the soil moist. The plant may re-grow after a few months. Even under the best conditions, your plant will end up with dead leaves and fronds. Regularly trim these away at soil level.
Fertilize monthly year-round with half-strength liquid fertilizer. It’s best to only repot when your plant is root-bound, and preferably in the spring. Repot in rich, high-quality soil, such as potting soil amended with 25% compost.
How do you make maidenhair ferns bushy?
Cool direct sun either in the morning all year round, or direct afternoon sun in winter provides a huge boost to the growth speed without burning the plant. Our maidenhair fern receives direct morning sun everyday which is how it managed to grow to this size in only three months.
