Hi, Fern Friends! I’m looking for recommendations for keeping this heart fern thriving 💚

so far, she’s in a window with bright (fairly indirect) light and I’ve been misting her several times a day. I’m about one week in and it’s going well, but curious what I could do to make this plant the happiest!

My heart fern lives in a terrarium at 90% humidity. I have not had success keeping them looking nice outside of a terrarium.

I’m just seeing this comment 2 weeks later and can confirm that the outside of terrarium approach has not gone well 😂

My best advice is terrarium but the best luck I’ve had outside a terrarium is putting it in a self watering pot in a north facing window.
