Default Disabled Fern

Those all three look like they will be ok.

Just keep them shaded and be careful not to overwater since they will be
using less water until they recover.

Although, I am certainly not having an overwatering problem this week!

Sounds like you didn't let it get re-acclimated to the great outdoors

come
spring...or more specifically the UV rays.

You can cut off all the leaves that are completely dead. Then you can

see if
there is anything left.

Put it in a partly shady spot and keep moist. If you can get full

morning
sun but protect it from afternoon sun, that would probably be best.

Be careful you don't overwater tho since it is now using much less water
than it was when it had a bunch of leaves.

Maybe it comes back, maybe not. Maybe with that many roots down below it
will really pop in the fall and that would make saving the plant worth

it,
no?.


Thanks for the advice. I shouldn't have brought them out so soon. All 3
of my indoor plants got like this after I brought them out.

I'll try just cutting off the leaves and see what happens.
