In this instructional video, Tennessee Wholesale Nursery demonstrates the proper method for planting bare‑root fern rhizomes. The presenter outlines a clear, step‑by‑step process: dig a hole twice the size of the root ball, position the root ball with the crown (the junction of roots and stalk) facing upward (or on its side if uncertain), backfill with soil that is firm but not compacted, water the plant immediately and continue watering for several days, and maintain slightly moist soil thereafter. The video concludes with a brief promotion directing viewers to TNNursery.net for purchasing bare‑root ferns and other nursery products.

Tennessee Wholesale Nursery presents How to Plant Bare Root Ferns. The first step is to dig a hole twice the size of the plant's root ball. Next, plant the root ball with the crown facing up. The crown is where the roots meet the stalk. If you're unsure, you can plant the root ball on its side and it'll still come up in spring. Next, place soil firmly around the roots, but avoid compacting the soil as this will stunt growth. Once you finish planting your fern root, water immediately and for the next few days. Most ferns prefer slightly moist soil. You can buy bare root ferns and much more on our website at TNNursery.net.
