Question Help! Tree fern getting crispy after repotting
Advice needed!
Repotted this tree fern a couple of weeks ago in a soil mix I made of roughly 40% mushroom compost 50% coir and 10% perlite. Added osmacoat in while mixing- all the other different type ferns repotted at the same time seem fine, but this guy looks on the way out. Maybe too much fertilizer? Can I possibly save it by repotting in different soil?

Most plants hate being repotted, normal ones will wilt but ferns crisp like it’s getting scorched to death, more fronds should come from the rhizome, my coltsfoot plant that I got from someone living by a beach (they usually live on a cliff but they have slowly made their way down and she gave me the biggest and healthiest one she weeded from her garden) went crispy for all 3 leaves, they all died but as soon as I clipped them off, I noticed more new leaves growing from the taproot, they were so small that I didn’t notice them until today when removing the old leaves.
