# Does anyone recognize what is wrong with this bird’s nest fern? :(…

_Posted by Holly on 2024-10-27_

Does anyone recognize what is wrong with this bird’s nest fern? :( it’s never really been happy. Repotted it back in May. It gets low light, has drainage, might be a wee bit root bound already? I check regularly for pests and don’t see any evidence of them. There are, however, old scars from cat bites. 🤦🏻‍♀️ It is getting a new leaf in the middle, at least!

Thank you!
