Q2) What potting mix do I use?
Q3) How often should I replant or repot?

Answer 1

Yes, you can divide the plants to give them more growing space. Repot as needed, whenever the ferns outgrow their container. See this article for more:

The best potting mix for maidenhair fern is one that contains a high proportion of peat moss mixed with organic matter.
