trim off the dried up/browning portions. have you tried using the identify plant feature? or if you have iphone take a photo \& click the star icon at the bottom \& it’ll tell you. whenever you figure out what kind of plant it is that’ll determine the care requirements for it like lighting/humidity/watering etc.

If you don’t have Planta Premium, there’s an ID app called LeafSnap that’s free. Wish I could help with the ferns but mine aren’t happy either.

Only thing i can say is they need more water than you think.
