Default java moss and fern

Today I received some Java moss from an internet retailer and I am unsure
of how to plant it. Right now I have it sitting on the gravel and it

looks
really ugly. Maybe this is just because it is not established yet. What
are your recommendations?

Also, I purchased a Java fern and I understand that it should not be
planted in gravel. Is this really the case? I think it looks great in

the
gravel but I don't want it to die. Thank you.

Both plants do best when placed on decor, rocks or better, wood. They will
quickly affix themselves. Be forewarned, I have had my 75 gallon tank nearly
overwhelmed by Java Moss. Stuff grows like a weed.
