Why is my Eyelash Fern angry?!

I'm getting conflicting reports and ideas using Google so i thought I'd try here: why is my Eyelash Fern going white?! It was fine for months and then suddenly: angry 😟

It's in an auto watering pot with shade. Also tried putting it under a grow light instead and still unhappy. I'm trying cutting it's water down now.

I haven’t had an eyelash fern, but most of my other ferns are very sensitive about humidity levels. Since it should be getting plenty of water, I would try using a mini humidifier or pebble tray to try and get the humidity up. If others have more experience with this kind of fern, hopefully they’ll jump in!
Thanks for the tips @ESylvanus! I've been misting it daily up until it started going white. It's also near a terrarium with a fogger so it gets some secondhand humidity from that.

All my other ferns are doing great but this guy I can figure out!
