Part 1 - EASY (and ZERO Cost) DIY Patio Pond Tutorial by The Indoor Wetlands

- If you are looking for a quick and easy weekend project at home, why not turn a ho-hum patio corner into a relaxing haven for your plants, fish, and family members?
I just did by repurposing and using existing materials and plants I could find at home. Yep, didn’t spend a single centavo. 😎
Enjoy the video and I hope that it somehow inspires you to create one for yourself. Trust me, the trickling sound of the water alone is already rewarding. #theindoorwetlands

What else do you think we should add in the DIY patio pond-? More plants? Fish? Comment down below and let me know!
@Megan Davis yes added some floating plants in the Part 2 video 😊 since the pond is in a shaded area, the water lily i tried didnt take off :(
Maybe add some balloon mollys. Thry make a great addition and they are very cute and friendly ❤
@@rohan-ku4gl Great idea! At first I tried adding balloon platys, also related to mollies but it seems they didn’t like the slightly acidic water conditions. But its worth a try if I make a second setup 😊 thank you!
@@TheIndoorWetlands Molly's can handle it, the are brakish water fish thry can handle salt water, gard water and soft water
@@rohan-ku4gl great! Not sure though why the platys kept jumping out of the pond before. 🤔 maybe some aggression from other fish
I like your mini patio pond thank you for this video now I have an idea on how to make my own mini pond. new subscribers here. Happy fish keeping 🐟🐠🍀🌿☘️
Wow, the clarity of the water in just one night! What a beautiful patio pond. This is the epitome of reduce, reuse & recycle. Beautiful!
Thank you! 😊 I hope more people can do that to help save the mother earth. 🙏🏼 Cheers!
@@TheIndoorWetlands I found a great planter in our yard, sitting empty. I had to plug the drainage holes, but Immgoing to set it up and give it a try.
@@ChrisJohnsonCJs-Kitchen Yes! Do it! I’m cheering you on Chris🍸🙌🏼
Very nice little pond, i love that you used stuff you had laying around
Thank you! ☺️🫰🏼
Not sure, I think the random cuttings you found are a type of _Syngonium_ although with aroids, so many of them have that “heart” or “horse face” shape, as babies, but completely change once mature! Prime example-Monstera deliciosa, dubia & borsigiana! All have cute little heart leaves as babies but gradually grow more fenestrations, holes, streaks and “tears”, and of course get larger. I’ve seen mature Syngonium species grow to be like a weed, almost the size of a Monstera. But the mature leaves are no longer heart-shaped, rather they have five or seven “fingers”. Looks almost like the spiral ginger actually, or _Philodendron goldii_ (or goldi?)…Aka _Thaumatophyllum spruceanum_ lol 😆
This is one of the best DIY videos I've seen. The pond is wonderful. Thank you!
Thank you Denise! I’m glad you liked it. 😊🍸
Great video, it looks great and the sound of the trickling water is so calming .
Thank you David! It is really calming 😊
Such an awesome creation! I don't "like" it; I LOVE it! And it blends so well with the entire area. I'm so impressed that I've subscribed and activated the notification bell and I even shared it on my Facebook page. You asked for suggestions; well here's a question: Are you planning to install pond lights? I think that would enhance your night viewing. Blessings to you and all those whom you love. Have a great day.
Thank you for the support Dei! I’m glad that you loved it. 😊 for the answer your question-due to the size of the pond, I didn’t consider adding pond lights anymore. There is a couple of light bulbs above the pond though at the patio that we turn on if we wish hang out in that area for now but that isn’t bright enough for us to see fish activity inside the pond. Perhaps a good small LED spotlight will do the trick. 😊🍸
Nice video. I was hoping to hear the actual sound of the water...
Thank you! Unfortunately background was noisy during filming. Will try natural sound in my next video for DIY pond ☺️
This video really helped me figure out how to do my own little outdoor pond. You did an awesome job!!
Thank you! Glad it to be of service 😊👍🏼
@@TheIndoorWetlands I just completed mine. I love it. I also added about 6 minnows. Videos like yours were very helpful.
@@sunnydazewithdawn350 that’s great! Hope you can share updates too as it matures 😊👍🏼
Looks great!! Very inspiring
Thank you Sarah!
u could add more floating aquatic plants
Great idea. Will do just that and include in the follow-up update video. :)
Love it!🙂
Thank you Angelina!!!
Nice lil pond
Thank you! 😊
Wow ...... good job, it looks Awesome
Thank you so much!
Mystery plant looks like a small Elephants Ear plant which can be grown as an aquatic. Did you ever find out what it was?
Its a regular syngonium (arrowhead plant) 😊
Im gonna do goldfish mini pond no filter no aerator , just daily siphon and top up water
Go fot it! Although goldfishes have high bioload, still better to add filter if you can :)
Oh cool! I just found your channel, but I think I already follow on Instagram! I want to do this container pond when it warms up a little it here (southern US but originally from the Philippines also).
Yes, try it 😊🙏🏼 it’ll be a fun, cool project. In cooler climates, i think a lot has succeeded in keeping rice fish/medaka
@@TheIndoorWetlands I’ll try them!
Nice
😊😊😊👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Idol sir... 👍
Means a lot. Thank you for the kind words. 😊🍸
That mystery plant looks like some sort of syngonium.
Thank you! Someone confirmed that to me too. 😊🤗 i believe its a common green Syngonium endemic in Philippine forests.
May I ask about the temperature in your country. I live in Malta Europe and at the moment temp are 43 degree centigrade the highest and 28 degree at night but in winter it can be 10 degrees. Do you think I can have this in my balcony. Would the guppies survive?
Fortunately I live in the Philippines which is a tropical country. We can do this all year long without problems. If you are in Europe who goes through winter season, I’m afraid the guppies wont survive. You may have to bring them inside and do a refresh on your pond scape once winter is over.
Moss on the rocks over the water hose.
Hey Dottie! Agree! I kind of tried too that but moss eventually dried up one time the water level got very low and wasn’t topped off 😅
Good to know! I’m just starting playing with “ecosystems.” What if you tried wicking moisture from the bottom of the container? I’ve also had some luck using an irrigation set on a timer to keep my birdbath topped off. The ferns around the base like it a lot.
Thanks for your work!
Gardensoil and fertilizer in water with fish? That is a no go. I like how it looks though.
I’ve been doing this too in my aquariums. No problems so far 😊 Using garden soil is also called the walstad method. 👍🏼🙏🏼
@@TheIndoorWetlands O.K. Thank you.
How do u clean algae?
Never had any algae problems in this build. ☺️🙏🏼
updates please.
Will definitely have some more updates and an updated version of this build :)
"zero cost" then uses filters, pumps.
Thise were from a very old aquarium setup I found sitting at home 😊
