Maybe a repot? Ferns also like filtered light, how much sun is he getting? Does the sunlight shoot straight down to wear crunchy? Maybe too much sun. I also mist mine excessively because they love humidity, maybe mist more or get a humidifier?

I’ll try re potting it. I have the plant next to a bright indirect window but also kinda off to the corner.

Yeah, I agree a repot might be necessary, partly because you're definitely gonna wanna check its roots out. Put some extra drainage like pumice or perlite in your new pot, too; these guys want moist but not wet soil. Make sure nothing is obstructing the drainage holes.

Ferns are the devil, unless you have PERFECT conditions then it wont survive in my experience

I think i figured it out! While researching more info because I just recently brought home a fern as well, i found out that they need watered almost every day! I guess they are super thirsty plants! I had no idea and mines been slughtly crunchy so i watered and misted her and shes perked up! I would try watering every other day to start and see how that works out. Now im invested in marky mark so please let me know of that helps!

I love how invested you are!! When I used the app diagnose thing it did say lack of water. I have been falling the app as recommended for watering it. Maybe I’ll be about a dayish late. ( I work loooong hours) I loved when I first got it, it was so lush and fluffy!

Hows marky mark doing??

### Andi commented on 2025-08-03

We are still struggling. I’ve repotted to a smaller pot cause when I took it out of the pot the roots were way shallow for the pot. Im never giving up!

Please keep fighting for it X
