I brought some of that fern back from MS years ago. I placed it on one of our oaks out back and kept it misted. It turned brown, then it died. I have a lot of shade in the backyard, so I thought it would at least come back the next year, but never did. Maybe if I had tried to get it rooted in soil first and then transferred it to the tree, I would have been more successful.
Hope you have better luck!
