    Find a closed cloche or large closed terrarium. Chop all the leaves back to about two-three inches from the base, keep it under the cloche or in the terrarium to keep the humidity pretty high. Water when the top two inches is dry and keep in bright light but not direct light

      Pop it in a plastic bag if you can't find a cloche.

    Ferns are pretty hardy if you get them in the right conditions. Mine die back like that most winters and they come back beautifully in the spring. You can save it! Good luck. 🍀

      It’s been like this for months that’s why I’m not sure what’s happening to it

      The soil is always wet, I think It dried out and then I overwatered it. I love ferns so much so I hope I can save this one 😬🤞

    High humidity is often really important for ferns. Also, have you ever repotted it?

      No I have not, I got it from a supermarket sometime in spring last year. Would repotting it and placing it in a closed cloche would help?

      Yes, absolutely. After you quarantine a plant for the first few weeks you have it, repotting in an ideal soil and pot for the type of plant is really important. Supermarkets & hardware stores don’t often sell plants already in their ideal soil. Besides using a cloche to increase humidity, I recommend repotting it in its preferred soil within a pot that has drainage at the bottom.
