I don't know what fern it is, but every fern I've had loves water and humidity. If a fern is dying I will water it and put it under a fish bowl or even a Ziploc bag and let it just sit in humidity

Looks like possibly a staghorn fern

Looks like a very dry birds nest fern. Id say it needs a lot more humidity and a better water schedule if it can be saved. The ziploc idea is a good one

This looks a bit like my crispy wave fern. I keep mine near other plants and it needs humidity so I mist near it but not on it. I also use a humidifier in my room occasionally.
