Hey, I'm new to this and I was wondering what I can do to help my lemon button fern. I found it at Walmart on clearance. It's super dry and small. And if anyone knows what I can do to help it. Please tell me!!

I think most ferns like humidity, and like to be watered often🤷🏼‍♀️

The soil is very moist, and I do have a humidifier it just hasn't been on in a while. I will turn that on and see what happens. Thank you.

You can do a bottom-watering soak for 20 minutes to an hour to help it recover. After that, make sure it drains fully, then do regular watering. And yep, ferns like humidity and frequent watering
