Thirsty

#HeartFern I recently got my first heart fern and find my his leaves curling almost daily. When I pick him up he’s really dry. Is this caused by the grow light?

Could be several factors contributing to that… underwatering, too much light, lack of humidity, etc etc.

While I don’t have any ferns myself, my understanding is that the soil should never go dry - they like to stay consistently damp/moist with high humidity and bright indirect light.

Thank you, time to put him on a pebble tray.
