Does anyone know anything about staghorn ferns? I have this guy in my greenhouse for winter, usually lives on a tree in my backyard in zone 9b.

I’m wondering if this browning/curling is normal or if this is a reaction to cold temps? I think this is what it does naturally but feedback is appreciated.

Also, anyone know what the brown spots are all about? TIA
