Hey great video thanks for sharing I have the yellow Iris in my 50 gallon backyard pond... I just plant everything in the milk crate so it doesn't overwhelm the pond... in the winter time when it's time to trim I cut everything off that sticks outside the milk crate and put it back in the pond... big pond plants in small pond😂❤...
Great video and very informative. One recommendation would just to flash the plant names on screen as you're talking but other than that I feel like my new pond will be looking good very soon.
I got very lucky I have a nursery that is standard but has a koi pond section sells the pond plants very reasonable. Then I found an aquatic nursery with lots of Koi and they have some amazing plants I got a bright red iris called Elvis I can hardly wait till it blooms! Thank you for the info on the pond substrate. Because I got a mini chocolate lily that she had shoot offs, and the guy at the nursery told me when they get a route on it you can plant it so I’m ready to plant the babies have you ever heard of a lily that has babies? Well this chocolate mini Lily does it gorgeous! 🥰
Trust me, a pond with just rocks is best. Adding plants looks great, but it messes up your pond, unless it's a soil bottom. Plants just increase bio load through decaying leaves and clog the filtration with the plant fibres. Floating plants also suck. They spread like fire, but also decay at a similar rate causing lot of gunk. Don't even think of pistia and eichornia. The roots create more mess than the leaf decay. I've also tried water lilies in pots. The fishes will dig and the soil will be all over the bottom. I hate plants in pond now
Thank you! Right to the point and detailed. Great video. Best 10 mins of my life
I was waiting for a video like this!

Can you do a video on plants that can survive through cold winters? I would appreciate it.

I really have no idea how Lilly’s propagate - but that sounds awesome!
Thank you for your tips
Should I place the water lily in the middle of my pond or the side it is a semi curcle shape
Did U ever find a link to that substrate? Maybe the bag has changed but I can't seem to find it.
I didn’t! I think it was discontinued

just need to know what plants can survive a cold winter
Thank you helped out
Went from going and cute to older and cute lol

how do you plant them in a put then submerge them in water? wouldn't they have root rot from excessive water?
how do YOU prevent string algae? 😱 I'm jealous
Keep LOTS of plants, minimal nutrients and block the sun.... either with lots of plants on the surface or a shade cover.
Was there an ice cream truck outside or really low music playing?
Clay pellets work great and cheaper
Now do you keep your fish from eating the roots of your floating plants!??
I haven’t had that issue!
First bestie
nobody likes you.
@@michaelw7352 ? What the fuck
@@michaelw7352 why?
Omgggg y’all chill😭😭😭😭😭
@@ChewysBro i love you so much
Can this work for turtles as well
Turtles might eat some of these plants!
Ok thank you
Make a planter with egg crate so the turtles can’t get to it
3 dollars for the floating plants, wtf! Here we consider it as a weed, and its everywhere in the water bodies
Probably shouldn't recommend anacharis because it's banned for being invasive and from experience it takes over the pond
Also 0 nitrates, react to my tank if you want
I put a green onion on top and all the fish died after what a bad idea
pathos, not potos
Your beautiful :)
I'm a straight cis male but that's what I was thinking too, I mean jeez!
actually first bestie, the other girl is an imposter
Chilllll🤭🤭🤭
😂😂
That's not bamboo. That's "lucky bamboo" which isn't bamboo.
