Ferns - Bare Root

I was wondering if anybody had any tips for growing ferns starting at the bare root? I just got some christmas ferns and cinnamon ferns today (two roots per pack), and I have 5 ostrich fern roots on the way. I planted the two christmas tree ferns in one 12 inch pot to start, and the two cinnamon fern roots in another 12 inch pot. The soil is a mix of potting soil and peat moss (I also have coco coir if I need but I haven’t used it yet.) Does anyone know if this is a good start or if there is anything I should change/look out for? I’ve never grown ferns this way, so I don’t know why I started off with so many!

Before planting they (roots) need to be soaked for a at least 2-24 hrs to rehydrate them. Acidic to reg soil. Wait a month to fertilize. Hope I helped πŸ™‚
