droopy tiger fern
first time fern owner here! any idea why she’s a lil droopy? my first thought it that the soil is draining too fast, or it’s getting too much direct light? any thoughts? last pic is where my fern is on my window— there are grow lights above all my plants. thanks!
2ft to light, indirect
4” pot with drainage

My guess is a moisture issue. Being in a window and receiving that stronger light will dry it out faster, plus it looks like it’s in a terracotta pot which also dries out the soil quickly. Ferns usually like semi-shady or even shady conditions to mimic where they would grow naturally on the forest floor.
You could consider:
- Moving Fernie farther from the window to receive more indirect light
- Increasing your watering schedule
- Changing to a ceramic or nonporous pot with drainage whenever you’re ready to repot
