What’s up with my Fern?
Hey Y’all! So far I’ve been having great success with my plants but I’m having a small issue with one of my ferns and I’m here asking for some help.
This is a Fern I got a few weeks ago so she’s not very new and I would say she’s pretty well acclimated to my home. She’s on a watering schedule and in a plastic pot with drainage that never seemed to cause her any trouble before. She’s on a shelf that gets indirect sunlight in the morning and afternoon. I mist my plants at night and I have a humidifier since I’m in a dryer climate. She’s not under an air conditioner and the plants around her seem to thrive in the same place.
So I’m curious, why are her leaves crunchy and wilting?

@WiseChaffflower check her roots. Most store bought ferns have a root binder or fabric mesh thing that was a plug for growing the plants. Sometimes it’s black and hard to see in the soil . Also, most ferns are lithophytes (I’m not sure on this one). and like an airy soil as their roots are fine and don’t push through heavy soil very well. Some tend to mix coco coir with perlite and coco chips.
