# Hello everyone! I need some advice. I got this fern about a month ago…

_Posted by Jasmine on 2024-06-25_

Hello everyone!  
I need some advice.  
I got this fern about a month ago and the 1st week my lovely cat chewed it up. And then after I watered it the water wouldn’t go away causing water logged roots. I’ve done a repot but it seems to only get worse and worse. I have a humidifier to help it and I try to have it on max 4 hours a day. The little jar in the pot also has water to help with humidity. The roots were trimmed during the last repot but what can I do to save this guy? Or is it a lost cause?  
Any advice will help. Thank you!!

If you want to increase the humidity, you can also use a clear container to cover the top of the pot
