Welcome
@Mboeker! My maidenhair fern was a different type, (can't find an uncopyrighted picture, but it had very fine leaves) but I kept it alive for 20 years by cutting off any broken, yellow, or brown leaves at the soil line. Also, my fern needed to be kept in something with 1/2" of water at all times. Let it dry up for 1 day, all the leaves would turn brown. 2 days, it was dead. If you keep it in water, it lives for years and years.
