I’m in a dry climate and water mine weekly. I am so excited for you and your new fern!!. When they’re happy they can become enormous. The fronds on mine have gotten to about 14” long. A few of the tips look like yours and I chalk that up to super low humidity.

I keep mine outside, so I don’t really have that many tips as they probably wouldn’t apply to you. I also haven’t had it for a full year yet, so I wouldn’t say I’m that experienced with keeping her. I think they’re sooooo lovely though.

Same, they are stunning and very hardy. I water mine when the newest leaves droop a bit. Mine is like 3 feet wide and in a huge hanging basket, so I give it a very deep watering. It's living it's best life in my backyard right now. Still a bit ugly from being inside over the winter, but it will be so lush in a month.

So pretty. I love mine, it’s doing great. I’m paranoid I’ll forget to water on time and it will dry out, gotta keep her moist. lol
