# Hi guys! My neighbors just moved out and gifted me this fern plant…

Hi guys! My neighbors just moved out and gifted me this fern plant but I’m not sure which it is. Can you help identify it?

Also, any care tips would be great as the leaves keep crisping up. I’m assuming it loves lots of moisture.

Looks like a Boston Fern

This plant needs HIGH HUMIDITY, that’s y your getting crispy brown leaves. Consider a humidifier or pebble tray, and right now with it being hotter months an outside patio will be great. This plant can survive in low light conditions so the bathroom would be a great spot for humidity. Do not allow the soil to dry out, ferns like for their soil to be consistently moist

Cut away all the brown leaves
