 Christmas fern, the common name for the Polystichum acrostichoides, is a low-maintenance fern whose leaves, some say, resemble a Christmas tree. When selecting a spot to plant your Christmas fern roots, make sure you choose heavily shaded somewhere. You may also want to plant the roots at an angle to avoid crown rot problems, as the ferns need soil that drains well to thrive. 

 The fern produces an excellent groundcover, but it won’t spread out beyond where the plant the roots. Depending on many ferns you are planting in one place, you may want to space them two feet apart to allow for room to grow. Now you can dig a hole that is the same size as the root ball. Place the fern in the hole and water thoroughly, then fill in the sides with good, firm soil to keep the plant stable.
