I had a similar problem. But after I moved it to a fully-shaded location beside a small, artificial fish pond, it fully recovered & did great
. That was last year. This year it's in full-shade & not near the pond But it does get misted with a spray-bottle a few times a day. Seems to work just fine.
BTW, the goldfish-type pond's only about 3 feet diameter. I may even try putting an artificial island in the middle of the pond and putting the fern pot on that. Point being, the hotter it gets, the more humidity that rises from the water just when the plant needs it the most.
Randy, I'm in Oklahoma. I kept mine near south & west windows, through the winter in a cool back room, and kept it misted. It survived nicely and is doing very well this spring.
Hope this helps.
