# Hi, my fern isn’t doing too well. It’s browning and feels really dry,…

Hi, my fern isn’t doing too well. It’s browning and feels really dry, I’ve pruned some of the browning after this photo. I check how wet it is by putting my finger into the soil, and if it’s dry I water it through the top and let it drain out. I mist the leaves sometimes, and it’s currently in a bright room but was in a darker room before hand. Any tips would be appreciated!

Maybe check humidity?

How would I check it?

Idk how to check it specifically, I suppose a moisture meter? But I couldn’t tell you a reading. I just know they like it very humid and no direct sun
