Mist the heck out of it several times a day.
They do love their humidity! Make sure it gets the same amount of light it gets where it is when it is outside. If it is not getting enough, perhaps a few hours with a daylight bulb. It has the whole spectrum of light like a grow light, but not near the super bright light that would probably burn the fern up!
Also trim it back.
I've never had any luck bringing them indoors after they thrived outdoors. All the do is make a huge mess. They need direct daylight...all day long..and lots of humidity. I gave up and throw them out.
Cut it back, thinning it back and water every few days. They also like to be spritzed every now and again. So far mine is making it. Winters in Maryland can be cold so heat is on quite a lot. Keep fern away from a heat source so it doesn't dry out too often.
