Q.Will Damaged Crown Regrow?

Zone 90740 | rachelanita added on June 2, 2020 | Answered

I received a birds nest fern as a present and unfortunately did not know I should not water from the center or crown until it was too late and the crown rotted out. The plant is still alive and actually looks quite healthy, but there has not been any new growth from the center of the plant since. Will any new leaves be able to eventually grow if the center was damaged?

Unfortunately, your photo did not come through. If the plant is still alive, then there is a chance that it may recover. Patience and proper care will be necessary.
