my crocodile fern has been dying a slow death since i got it last july. the leaves develop brown speckles at the edges, then the leaf fades and withers. no positive growth since i got it, any ideas on turning it around??

How often do you water? The soil looks really wet.

on schedule, was thinking to add something to make the soil more porous so the roots could breathe
