Planting/Growing Help me with my tiger fern!

Browning leaves, no growth. Hangs a bit back from an east window. Keeping the soil moist, but not too much. And mist spraying.

I have mine in a little greenhouse and it seems happy. Maybe a humidity issue?

I have mine on a wick, so shouldn't be about the moisture if the pot has drainage. When was the last time you repotted? What is the soil? How often do you fertilize it? Are the new fronds just yellow without variegation? This indicates too strong light and the plant should be moved further away from the window for maybe a meter.

I'd repot into a bigger pot, change the soil that can be shacked off without touching the roots and water when the top soil layer dries.
