Oh my goodness that was hard to repot!! I almost wish it had been in a clay pot so I could have smashed it. The soil roots are so fine and interwoven. Hopefully it will be good for another year or two now. - Kangaroo Paw Fern

I have found with ferns the only way to go is a grow light. If you see the one I posted is directly under a grow light and gets 800 foot candles at 10-12 hours a day. They really like a lot of light and you should see quickly new leaves starting to develop.
