I have a Dallas Fern (looks kind of like a boston fern, but needs much less light) that I've had about 6 months. About a month ago my darling cat decided that she wanted to take a nap in it (and have a little snack as well), unfortunately the hanging plant's "hangers" couldn't support the weight of the cat AND the fern, so they all came tumbling down. I added more soil to the plant and continued to water it as normal, but the fronds have not grown back from the kitty's snack. Any suggestions? A friend told me that it was just a result of it being winter, but I'm not convinced.
