Default How to grow Emersed Java Fern

I wanted to know how to grow emersed java ferns.
I've read the "Beginner's Guide to starting your first Emersed setup!!" by Zapins, so don't shout on me :P
Zapins used topsoil to plant his plants. But what about java fern? Should I place it on the soil or bury it?

Thanks

As long as the rhizome isn't buried, I would think it would do fine. Here's a good read

I agree with the post above. In fact, we set several plantlets on moist rock surfaces in our paludarium (80% humidity), and they seem to be growing just fine. Based on our observations, I don't think you need to bury the rhizome in any soil in order for it to grow emersed.
