Transplanting ferns to different mediums

I decided to try to transplant some ferns I took from my work. These are maidenhair and strap ferns that were growing on some rocks in the garden where I work.

The goal here was to see how they transplanted on this particular medium, which is coconut coir and sheet moss. I first put down some coconut coir, then topped with some sheet moss for added moisture for the ferns to root out more. I then made little wire fasteners to attach the ferns to the medium. I watered it really well and keeping it in a low light area in my garden. I will continue to keep making sure it receives plenty of moisture in hopes these ferns will take to the new medium and environment.
