proper care and feeding of boston fern

Hi, I recently bought a boston fern from a dept store. At first it did great, almost looked fake it was so lush and pretty. I had it my bathroom where there is a sky light and lots of moisture from the shower. I also steamed it about once a week by running the shower and keeping the door closed all day so it would get a lot of moisture. Now I see there is a lot of drying out on the stems, when I run my fingers down the stem the leaves just fall off. I moved it to my bedroom as I was afraid the heat from the bathroom (furnace vent) was drying it out. But is still seems to be dry. Is it dry or maybe too wet and dying from that. I do keep it fairly moist, not spongy tho. Please help.
