Baby fern “hardening off” to world

Hardening off is getting indoor grown plants ready for the big world. Sometimes for indoor seedlings I’ll put a fan on them to preview the experience of wind. These ferns haven’t got that treatment yet because we have them in a little container sealed for humidity, but I figured it was time to get them ready for a spring debut into the world.

Today will be their fourth trip out. It’s 44 F with a dewpoint of 41 F so it’s quite humid. going for a few hours like the last two visits.
From their first trip out on January 26. I kept them out for about 30 min.
