Can you bring a lemon button fern back from underwatering? It started to brown but is staying at a muddy green color and isn’t getting worse. I got sick for a while and unfortunately my plants and I are now facing the consequences 😢 I’ve been keeping the soil moist and have been misting it consistently. It has parts that are still bright green

Should be. Just cut back the brown. And don't go the other way and over water.
