Hi everyone! I received a huge fern from one of my co workers. Sadly, it has been losing a lot of leaves since I brought it home. Am I underwatering? Is it getting enough sunlight? I’ve also noticed it growing new leaves so I’m kind of confused lol. Please help!

Could just be stress from the change!

That’s good to know! I’ve been watering it and non direct sunlight I just feel like am I doing something wrong lol. It’s lost A LOT of leaves but it’s still healthy. And I’ve been seeing some sprouts so that’s why I was confused

I’m assuming just adjusting. How long have you had it?

I’ve had it for about a month now
