Answer 1

Looks like you need a taller container but not too much wider. These ferns are epiphytes, which means in their natural habitat, they attach themselves to trees or rocks to grow. So you may want to get creative with the container. The second article tells what to use for soil. It also says they should be repotted twice a year to keep up with growth.
