I just received via mailorder (they’re going out of business unfortunately) a darling little fern:

It’s even prettier than the pictures.  However, I don’t specialize – I buy big, small, and everywhere in between and sometimes the littlest can get lost in the shuffle.  Do you think these little guys (I got two) might be better off in a trough than in the ground?  Or do you have any suggestions on protecting them until they get established and hopefully start spreading?
