hopeful fern

My rabbit-foot Fern doesn't seem to be getting quite enough humidity. It's got patches of brown on the foliage.
It seems to be doing well otherwise, though. There are two new fronds unfurling from the ends of fuzzy "feet" dangling down
and one teensy fiddlehead emerging in the center of the plant. If you look close you can see that this is growing from a little fuzzy patch which looks like it will be a new rhizome!
So if it's growing new feet and new fronds it can't be unhealthy I think, in spite of the dryness. I'm trying to remember to mist it every day and put it in plant spa as often as I do that.
