    They will do best if you transplant them in early spring, right before the new growth comes out. Late dormancy is the correct time to do this. You can, however do this at any time. Just have caution, as you will likely lose a few if they are actively growing when you transplant.

    The information on this website should answer your questions:

    Three elements are key: only transplant on cool days, preferably cloudy ones; move as much of the rootball as possible; and water every few days for 1-2 weeks and then weekly until the ground freezes. Even after the fronds go dormant, the roots keep working to get established. Plant dehydration going into winter is a cause for winter kill.

    Typically, you shouldn't have to prune these often. I would only remove dead or dying leaves. If you decided to prune it, I don't think you would hurt it, but you don't have to.

    First, you must identify the type of fern that you have. This will help you to decide whether or not they will be suited to survive in your area. The type of fern they are will determine what steps should be taken to ensure their survival.

    It isn't normally a problem to do so. If the area remains too humid, then this could cause a mold issue. But in most circumstances it will be fine to get them wet.

    A humidifier would definitely help them out. It isn't completely necessary for them to survive, but they will be much happier with it. I believe this to be the cause of the issue with your tradascantia, also. The leaves sound like they are beginning to dry out. Just a small dehumidifier would be enough to keep them happy.
