How to plant pond plants 

Thanks for a really straightforward answer on this because I've been through a few "yeah well sort of maybe but" RU-vid videos!

Thank you so very mucho 😂. You cover a lot of my questions. Very helpful. Lots of information . For my new lotus plant i got . ❤😊

Thank you. Wish i had seen this before I bought something i dont really need. Off to buy some small gravel then. thank you !

Following your advice, I washed off the soil from the bog plants and popped them straight into the gravel in the bog filter... I got trailing creeping jenny (I'm in England). They look happy there and I'm looking forward to watching them grow. Thanks for your help! 🙂

Hello sir. Again a very nice video. Very helpful and knowledgeable. Thank you.

Very nice! Thanks.

Thank you

Love your videos. Thanks

Thank you so much for sharing this information. It so help.

Amazing pond

could you do more about what plants you like to use and how you trim and manage them in your bio-falls and streams please and thank you :)

Your stuff is so useful, and clear as well filtered pond water. Have you done swimming ponds?

your ponds are so well planted! 😍 how do you select which plants for your pond? i know it depends on climate/seasons/location. but i don't know anything about "pond" plants! maybe make a video? now i need to find pretty plants to grow in my new bog filter! 😀 🌱🌱🌱

My pond is mostly in the direct sun, i dit put a waterplant in but it look if the plant is not florishing, it is a coipond

Yes please put on you tube

👍

Your channel is really awesome. Congratulations. Just a question. I see your ponds don’t have any net over to protect against the predators. How do you deal with that. Cheers

I've just made my Aquascape pond from the remains of my previous pond. My previous pond and shallow bog were ruined by plants I could not control. The irises spread rapidly all over the bog. I could pull them out at first but it became increasingly difficult to do so because their roots actually grew through the liner. I ended up having to hire a mini-excavator to pull the whole bog out. The pond was ruined by bacopa. It just grew like crazy! I kept pully out handfuls but, a week or so later, it was all back with avengeance! Can you please make a video (or even just a post) recommending some deep marginals (i.e. planted just under 30cm deep) that aren't so invasive and aggressive? I'm in Adelaide so have a similar climate to you.)

I’ve set up a patio micro-pond (in hopes it inspires a larger pond in the future). I’m currently experimenting with various plants from my aquarium. I would like to add a small water lily such as the Lil Sue. How much soil would you put in a small pot for a smaller species water lily?

Great information for this new koi pond owner. Beautiful, crystal clear water. Wow! Any suggestions on plants that can tolerate quite a bit of shade that can be planted in gravel? Also, what gravel works best in your experience? Thank you!

What is the plant visible at the 1:00 mark? I've never seen that for sale anywhere near me but I like it a lot!

Can you please do a winter video about the state of the pond? I’m really curious which plants will survive. We have similar sub tropical temperatures here. Lowest is around 1 deg C.

Amazing videos! Do the lilies not outgrow the pots that you have buried in the rocks? Do you have to pull them up and split them or just let them be? How do you clean the bottom of the pond of debris (leaves etc) with all the rocks? Thanks so much!!!

I'm planning on back filling a small pond with gravel to a depth of only a couple of inches for child safety. I had the idea of housing a small pump in a concealed upturned, holed bucket to power a small waterfall and to plant in the shallow water/gravel. Have you any thoughts or tips on how to get the best from this please, or could you suggest a better solution?

How do you afix them straight into the filter?

Can you add water lillies to a pond with larger Koi?

When you say “into the gravel” I’m a bit confused - our pond (that we inherited with our house) has a plastic pond liner at the bottom - do you add gravel on top of the liner and then plant the plants into the gravel? Or do you not have a liner? Sorry, probably a stupid question!

Sorry another question. I am near Melbourne. It seems really difficult to buy any Pond plant products now. Anywhere you can suggest please ?

Hi kev I had planted plants in plastic pots filled with gravel but koi pulled out all of them even those planted on floor of the pond. using garden soil with gravel on top can help? What's best way to avoid koi from pulling the plants.

Kev, Are there pond plants we should avoid putting directly in our ponds? Specifically my concern is a root system penetrating the liner. Thanks!

We have just built a large pond and bog filter. A friend has given us duck weed. We are reluctant to add it to our pond because of its rapid growth rate. Do you have any advice regarding duck weed?

I have a big cement pot (2x3 feet) with soil covered with pebbles and i have installed waterfall on top of this pot I have been having algae issues recently Should the pond be free of soil completely ?

I dropped my hardy water lillies into our pond but the leaves and flowers are about 6" or less from breaching the water surface, will they be ok? I dropped them in about 2 days ago.

How do you keep the blue herons from eating your fish?

Greetings, I have a white-marble basin that is quite large and I was thinking if I can plant anything in it, yet I would like the water to remain clear

What type of soil do you use for the waterlily?

What are the red and pink flowers along the edge of the pond called?

2:52 what variety of water lily you planted? Name of that variety?

Hi do the lily and lotus pots have holes or do you put them in pots without holes? Thank you

I have planted lotus and lillies by directly adding soil to the pond and the water is still green, does soil affect the clarity of water if added directly to the floor of the pond ?

G'day mate I'm setting up a mini patio pond. Should I just put rhe plants into small pots w gravel? Remove all the soil they came with?

I bought Amazon aqua soil, is this is good for lotus plants or water lily? Thanks 😊

My lotus is only in sand and I put fertilizer once a month.

thank you, needed that info. Goldfish are not frog Safe... 😢

My pond is really deep, what should I do?

Can i put plant in pots in special soil made for waterplants?
