Finally able to put my ostrich ferns in the ground. placed rocks around my shade tree and filled it with compost about 7 inches worth and a light cover of mulch-pine.

before putting the ferns in the ground one of them fell over. I don't know why?

I thought that if I got it in the ground it would perk back up and stand striaght like the rest. Well, that did'nt work. the other 2 ferns are doing great and the one that fell over just shotup another leaf from under the compost. I hope the new home is rewarding to them and the other plants.
