Ive just repotted this little fern as it really needed it, hopefully it will perk up now!
It is in the bathroom so its quite humid for it and is on an eastfacing windowsuill so gets plenty of bright light but no hot sun.





Looks like two different plants in one:



Very straggly, and spores everywhere!


Also quite a lot of brown:

Now I was going to cut all those browning leaves off but I have read that it is best to allow them to die first as nutrients are transferred back to the plant, rather like autumn leaves on a tree.
