Planting Media: Soilrite mix would be a perfect planting medium for all kinds of plants.  If required pebbles (1-1.5cm) can be added to the mix to make sure the planting medium is well drained.

Water:  Be careful to make sure that the sword ferns root bale never dries out completely it will need plenty of water during dry seasons. Other times you can water the fern frequently just to make sure the soil does not completely dry out. Avoid over watering as water logging can lead to root rot.
