I couldn’t resist this unlabelled fern in my local nursery. Can anybody identify it for me? I’ve been going through the internet without luck. I love ferns, but have never managed to look after an indoor one well so need to know how to make it happy. THANK YOU x

Is it a hardy one or a "house" one ( was it inside or outside at the nusery ? ) Altho you have new growth, the whole plant looks rather anaemic.
Have you taken it out of the original pot and checked whether it would benefit from a fresh potting/feed ? That could be the reason it looks a bit rough. Does the pot have adequate drainage ?
I'm sorry for asking all those questions but the more info you can give, the more likely you will be to receive some valid advice.
As for not being able to resist, not many of us are strong willed enough to ignore a plant if we really fancy it
yes relevant details are a must for any advice on anything!!! Thank you
the roots are a good inch out of the bottom of the pot! It was on a watering matt in their giant greenhouse...i was really careful removing it from the matt because I didn't want to rip all of those roots off. I'm sure it's a house plant and will keep it inside. I have lots of non-direct light here as the house is North facing..... I put several skylights in because it was so dark. I have a mister!!!
So I'm re-potting with a free draining medium, giving it a regular mist and the occasional few drop of feed. Fingers crossed
