I found a bunch of ferns for sale at Lowe's this past week. Nursery grown, from Botanical Wonders. There were small packets of rhizomes in peatmoss for about 8 different species and I bought a selection.

So what is the best way to store/plant them? I was thinking of keeping them in the packets for about 2 months, when it will be warming up. I might need to add a little moisture in the meantime.

Would evergreen species such as Christmas fern need different handling?
