Hey I went on holiday for a week, thinking my Fern would be ok, it was not. How can I save it please? I’ve watered it.

Thank you in advanced x

You’d basically start over. Anything dry is dead and can be cut away. If possible a clear jar or container over the top will help new growth after it’s trimmed back. I went on vacation for two weeks and lost a small fig tree. Just the risk we take I guess.
