Most ferns appreciate part to full shade and high humidity/frequent watering. Also they reproduce by spores, which means they make interesting little rows of dots beneath the leaves that are coated in powdery, usually orangey brown spores that can rub off on you

50/50 this plant is a bit picky I have a smaller one rn and MAN 😅 I’ve brought it in about 2wks ago and it’s finally perking up. I keep a humidifier on it and around most my tropical plants 🌱..
