Hello. I have a Hare's Foot Fern that I keep in a hanging basket in the corner of my room about ten feet opposite a pair of corner north- and east-facing windows. I mist it almost daily, and water about weekly (or whenever the soil is nearly dry at the surface) with Miracle Grow infused water. The plant is growing and looks healthy except that the tips of many leaves are dried and crispy. I used to keep it closer to the windows, but I moved it to its current location when I noticed the dried tips, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Are the dried tips due to too much light? Or am I under-watering? Or is it something else? Thanks for any help.

I read that these plants prefer medium to low light, which is why I moved it to the corner, opposite the corner windows. You recommend more light? I thought the dry tips could have been caused by too much light.

I currently use Miracle Grow diluted to the maximum strength instructed on the bottle every time I water, which I will stop. When you say to feed it every six months, does that mean only one watering with Miracle Grow twice per year?

Thank you very much for your advice.
