    It looks very thirsty/ in need of humidity! If you have a clear plastic bag or bin you can make it a temporary humidity dome to see if it recovers. What kind of fern is it?

      I had a button fern that looked like this, and I put it in a mini greenhouse, watered sparingly every day, and upped the humidity to about 75%. It did recover, though it took a few days and lost some fronds. Good luck!

      I bought a humidifier a while ago to help it but I don’t think it’s done much other than keeping it alive

    I got itty bitty stick-on hygrometers for like $10 online and put them up around my plants-- you'd be surprised how dry our homes are. I moved recently to an older/more humid house and it's incredible how much happier my plants are at >50% ambient humidity, but some of them even need more than that
