My Rabbits foot fern is dying

4 years ago my rabbits foot fern was beautiful all the way around flourishing. Now it only has 2 leaves left and 1 rhizome. I don’t know what to do because I repotted it into a well draining soil over a year ago. I also moved a lot into different apartments. I don’t live in the right zone so I ended up making it indoor instead because it was getting burnt to the crisp in this north cali weather with no humidity. I really want to keep it alive and let it thrive again. It has been in my family for over 30 years.

Over or Under Watered?

I was sick for several days and when I opened my shades the 3 beautiful green fronds looked like this. The brown one was on its way out. But one of the green ones was brand new.

Not in direct sun.

Any help would be appreciated!

Ferns

Hi! I have always loved ferns but don't know much about them aside from they spore instead of fruit to reproduce. I just think they're so cool looking and bring me joy whenever I spot some! 🌿. I'm wondering if anyone here knows what type of fern this is attached. And if I'm able to get it to more of a Fern bush eventually? Also how I go about planting it and caring for it. I'm hoping to keep it indoors but it's not necessary if it's not possible. Thanks

My Grandmother’s Rabbit Foot Fern

I’ve had this fern since my grandmother passed away in 1994. I’ve had it my entire adult life—- and it has had varying states of care. I tend it pretty meticulously now that I realize how special it is to have it in my life. It turns 61 next year (this is the original plant.)

Grown from spores! (I think it's Rumohra adiantiformis? With bits of selaginella and maybe some errant adiantum mixed in)

I am lame about repotting

Sometimes that’s a good thing

Walking fern care

Walking fern (Asplenium rhizophyllum) has always been my favorite. I came across a reputable seller who carries them. Anyone have any care tips or advice on keeping them indoors/outdoors?

What is the weirdest fern you know?

I'm trying to revamp my interest in plants, while dealing with a particularly severe depression.

Show me the weirdest, most alien looking ferns you know of?

Or just your current favourite. That also works.

Does the orientation look right? Did it myself. It has pup(s) but I didn't separate them. What kind is this staghorn? Sorry it's beaten up, rough day taking it home.
