Hi everyone! I just got a crispy fern which I heard are hard to care for. Does anyone have any tips for care? Specifically humidity in the winter (I live in NYC and it gets very dry in the winter). Thanks!

Ooh it’s very pretty! You’ll probably want to get a humidifier. If you don’t want to effect the whole room, you could put an essential oil diffuser next to the plant and only fill it with water. The downside is they have to be refilled more frequently due to the small reservoir size

Thank you! That’s so helpful
