Can baby Lemon Button Ferns go epiphitic?

[ill will]

I have a lemon button fern in a tank that has sprouted many little fronds (hope thats the right term) from its roots, and little baby ferns are growing out of them. some come up from the soil, some creep up the glass and kinda root onto the glass itself. I have harvested these in the past, producing many new plants, and now that the fronds are growing back i want to experiment by planting the baby ferns on my new terrarium's background.

I will place them in moist little nooks and crannies (its a standard great-stuff BG with silicone and coco bedding, with chunks of driftwood sticking out. there is a drip-irrgation system that keeps the background
moist~wet but not visibly flowing). i placed one baby on a wet driftwood ledge, and it seems to be fine after three days.

So, anyone have experience with this? think the fronds will take root and survive indefinitely without soil? the nutrients (i fertilize with worm castings, plus decomposing elements, etc) from everything in the soil should all be in the water that drips over the background, so i think they will get all the nutrients they need to grow healthy.

also, if the ferns are constantly wet from the drip system but not submerged (vertical walls are naturally good at drainage) will it be ok in the long run??

You should throw some pics up of what your doing. Its sounds alright to me. Some plants seem to do better than others without soil.
