The biggest advice on them is....water the fuzzy part everyday when it hasn't rained..When they're planted...just barely stick the roots in the ground making sure the fuzzy part is well out of the soil...it will kill them quick if the fuzz is covered in soil.
this is a fern tree pup....it's kind of blury, but see the fuzzy part the frond is coming from...there is not much more to it than that..I planted it less than a quarter of an inch deep... keeping the fuzz away from the soil as much as you can..of course the ones you get will be much bigger and have visable roots. that little fuzz cushion are actually part of the ferns roots system, which is why it needs a bit of water every day.
