    Hello
    I have just purchased a new fern..... [Delilah] and in the past had not much luck. The tips of the leaves went brown and they fell off.
    Any suggestions would be a great help. Not sure of the watering/misting/light/type of fertlizer.
    Thanks Vibe_s

    A common problem with these and many other indoor ferns is lack of humidity. I had one and it went like yours before eventually dying- i just couldn't keep things humid enough and kinda gave up on it. Our modern central heating dries the air up too much. Best way round it is to stand the pot on a bed of wet gravel,changing the water now and then to stop it going bad.
