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.

Java moss, the clump of stuff you have, won't look pretty until it's
attached to something with either fishing line, thread, staple, or whatever
you can come up with, and soon it'll be thriving well... The Java Fern, just
loosely tie a string/line around something and attach it... I just place it
in the gravel and pull up until the rhyzome is exposed, soon it'll be
attached to the gravel and it'll be thriving well too....
