do you have it near a vent or open window? might be a draft or need humidity.

i have it on the floor ~12 ft from a window and grow light

try to put it near the other plants to create more humidity. or place it near a humidifier. good luck

You should send pictures to the sill. Maybe they can help you or send you a new plant..

Ferns need a lot of light. My blue star is right under a grow light getting 800 foot candles 12 hours a day. Try putting right near your grow light.
