# my fern has been feeling a little crispy since i got it a few days…

_Posted by sazh on 2023-08-31_

my fern has been feeling a little crispy since i got it a few days ago. i was told to water it once a week and when i bought it, the soil felt moist so i waited some days to water it again just in case. i watered it yesterday but have noticed the leaves drying up. i’ve been taking it in the shower with me to get some humidity but it doesn’t seem to be working, how else can i keep it humid? i live in nyc and it’s super humid there but i’m on vacation somewhere dry and also, the fall/winter is approaching so even when i go back, i’ll need to keep it humid.

If it’s only on one bottom frond it may just be in shock from the change in location

My asparagus fern did this and then two weeks later put out tons of new growth
