Unfortunately, I'm not able to identify your plant from this photo, and I'm not sure it's actually a fern. If the soil is good, the roots are covered and it's getting the right amounts of water and fertilizer, it should appreciate getting some room to grow. The removal of the dead wood should help.
I'm including a link for an article with tips about growing ferns:
