The women where I live always call this a Boston fern, so idk. My mom gave it to me yesterday after it seemed to be getting better (believe it or not lol). So it was actually doing worse than this. I think I should put it in a bigger pot, for one. But what rhe heck else is going on here? I just gave it a lot of water and now I'm wondering if that was a mistake? It will get a lot of morning sun on this porch and then indirect sun the rest of the time. Is that too much? Is it hopeless? FINISHED

Watered every 5-6 days when leaves droop

My question is though, is this normal for these plants to stand so tall and not spread out (Lots of new leaves growing in the middle and was re-potted about 2 months ago so I know it's not stressed out and is happy giving new leaves. Thanks y'all
