Sword Fern advice

Hi,
My Boston Fern is drying up, and some of the fronds are going brown or yellow. It's kept in a bathroom on the windowsill (the window is frosted). We do open the window a couple of times a day to let out steam after showers etc. It's in a nursery pot inside a decorative pot so has drainage at the bottom. I water it around once a week and it gets lots of moisture from the bathroom.
I've noticed that it's going quite brown in the middle too. Do I need to re-pot? Or any other advice please?
Many thanks!

    It definitely needs to be repotted.
    Once in a bigger pot, it shouldn't need watering so often in the winter.

    Leaves don't last forever.  Start with a good tidy-up.  But I think you've started.
