Help please. What kind of fern is this? I bought it a few weeks ago. It’s been sitting in a north facing window and the fronds seem to be getting “crispy.” I’ve cut off several of the completely dried fronds. I’ve been keeping it watered and misted, too. Not sure what I’m doing wrong here. Would love the group’s opinions!

Silver Lady Fern (Blechnum gibbum). I have had no luck keeping these alive. 0-3 so far - if I try again it may be in my greenhouse cabinet
