APPARENTLY it should get to 3 feet wide… I think that would be SO cool. Le sigh

Oh nooooo..
Do you have any suggestions, is anything working for you at all?

Keeping humidity up and letting it dry out a little seemed to work for awhile but then the growth stunted so I don't even know :/ seemed like everything it tried did not work out wish I could help

I don’t know where the words to my post went
I’m terrible at ferns!
It’s been yellowing and dropping leaves since I got it..
Not enough humidity? Light? Too much water?
Those are my guesses..
Hasn’t unfurled any new leaves since I got it.
Please feel free to ask me any other questions
How much are you watering this guy?
When it’s almost dry
When you the top soil is dry? Or how many inches down? You might be overwatering tbh, I had one of these and I found it needed less water than my other more thinner leafed ferns
I really shove my finger in there, and pick it up to see if it’s light.. honestly I’m an underwater’er most of my plants are those that can completely dry out between waterings (or they die lol because I often let them dry out) so I’m really struggling with this one (it was a present)
It’s not in a very sunny spot though maybe water is sitting too long in it?
I put mine in the bathroom/shower and they chill just fine for 2 months already. But the location also needs to have lots of filtered light.
Neither of my bathrooms have windows :(
