Update: last year I bought a Boston Fern from Lowe’s that soon started to look like it was dying. I took it out of its pot & separated it into 2 as it looked root-bound (learned that term here!). Through the (Florida) winter they looked like the first photo, & I wasn’t sure if it would come back or not as I am a new plant parent (started last year!) but now I have two lush ferns! It’s so rewarding 🥰
