Fern dying?

I've had a 14" dia. indoor fern plant for about a year now. It did really well for about 6 months, %26amp; since then it's been dying off by the outer fronds, yet the center of the plant continues to sprout new growth...but the new growth eventually dies off too! Whats happening %26amp; how do I fix it?



-I water daily/bi-daily %26amp; 1 monthly with Miracle Grow

-It's in partial/filtered sun for most of the day

Fern dying?
The soil contents must be very weak. Usually you should change/add new soil every year. It may require fertilizers, usually you add organic fertilizer every 1.5-2 months. The best idea to save the fern at this moment is that you change the soil and add inorganic fertilizer to revive the plant quickly - later you can start using organic fertilizer.



Also, take care how much water you put in - Donot soak-wet the plant everyday - it may kill the plant.
Reply:move it to a new pot(bigger) and add some new soil! u can also take the plant out of it's pot and trim some roots which will rejuvenate the whole plant!
