My great Aunt would pinch every plant she loved at the store.
She had beautiful plants.
I guess one would imply it was stealing .
She believed she was doing the plant good by making new growth and her price for maintenance is a future plant. 😁
Just saying...
What kills me lots of theses plant stores thrown in trash plants that are dying that just need some TLC.
I do believe they are expensive also but they should have a discount pile .
You're not cheap, you're cost effective. Cheap implies flimsy :)
It's a really small thing... But watching you toss unwanted soil out the door without looking, made me smile! Watched my Grandmother and Mother do that! Made my day! Love thia series!
I've seen so many aquatic videos from people but yours in particular are my favorite go-to. You go straight to the point and present the logic/reason behind your decisions etc. I appreciate that about your content. Real person making real content. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks emily!
Put some ballast in the bottom of the pots and that should keep them upright. That's what keeps a sailboat upright.
Wow, you re luck to have such a great garden center. I have nothing like that around me
I live in central Florida and am looking to set up a pond on my large patio. These videos have been so inspirational. Thank you!
Creeping Jenny, like velcro and duck tape, is the answer to EVERYTHING.
Maybe the garden center should call you when they get new plants in...Lolol😄 They all look very nice and I think most will overwinter in the greenhouse fine. I hope the plants I sent arrived in fine condition. Looking forward to future vids....Thanks Rachel 👍
Rachel, if you cut the float around your DIY floating pot in half to make in thinner, that would help a lot to make them less top heavy. Should still float too.
I'm thrifty as well. We have a creek on our place and a bog area so I'm gathering some plants from their, as well as other flowers I have in my garden that like a lot of moisture. So far I've not bought much for my pond except for a couple of creeping jennys, a few containers for planting in (on clearance). The tub was recycled from a tall tank the hubby got at work and we cut it down (and used the rest for raised garden beds). We have plenty of rocks and pebbles from the creek, and our place has heavy clay soil as well. I just need to buy a filter, fountain and some goldfish. I hope to have it up and running soon (except for the fish), thanks for the inspiration!
Enjoyed this video too and was happy to hear that these plants/tubs will attract butterflies, bees and my love hummingbirds!
I freaking LOVE these videos! lol I think I have spring fever :) Edit: Ok, I don't know a lot about water plants, I guess I thought they went in rocks for substrate, not dirt - for the floating ones. So the dirt is going to filter through the pond water even though you have some fabric there. I did not realize that. This is kind of funny, I don't really pay much attention to plants at all. I have some tanks with plants (I pay zero attention to the plants) and they end up looking like nice planted tanks, magically I guess.
Thanks for the tips! I have to get some of those floating baskets for my pond.
I have a 250l (should be something like 60-70 gallons) minature pond in my garden its running for the second year now and will be home for my Oryzias latipes for the summer.
Plant wise i have:
Under Water: Hippuris vulgaris
Nymphoides peltata
Ranunculus aquatilis
Hotonia palustris
Callitriche sp.
Eleocharis acicularis
Gratiola officinalis
And above water/sticking out or floating:
Salvinia natans
Lysmachia nummularia
Again Hippuris vulgaris,Gratiola officinalis and Eleocharis acicularis
Alisma lanceolatum
Myosotis rehsteineri
Nasturtium officinalis
Veronica becabunga
Balidellia ranunculoides
Sounds like a lot but much of grows out the sides so in the end it fits
I tried to use mostly native plants
Greetings from germany!
BOOM another great video!! I can’t wait to go on this summer tubbing journey with you ❤️
Rachel, I really love the waterfall tub. A lot! Especially after you put the 2 pot of floating plants in it. I cannot wait to see how it looks later this year. 💞
Great minds think alike - you transplant like I do. Just toss the extra dirt into the grass lol.
Great tip on the creeping jenny. 👍💕👍
As I watch these videos I contemplate how mad my husband or landlord would be mad if I set up some tubs 😂
I can totally relate to the landlord thing cuz i also kept 3 patio ponds.. They get bit fussy about these stuffs which they nothing know of!
Hi Rachel - for your top heavy floating planters, have you tried putting some rocks in the bottom? You might need to add more Styrofoam, but it might keep the plants upright.
If I used bigger pots I would do that but these are pretty small
Thanks for all the help. After watching alot of your videos I'm really wanting to get into summer tubbing with some fish. I'll always look forward to new videos. Thanks again Rachel.
I started watching this video earlier today just after you posted it, but my daughter decided we are going out for lunch so I had to stop.
So now it is 11:30 PM, I am just finishing my evening coffee and catching up on the rest of this video.
I am so enjoying this series, I grew up in the country watching my grandmother plant her flowers and tubs with found ferns, Aquatic plants that grew around the edge of our lake.
This was way back when, like maybe 60 years ago. As a child, I did not realize that by helping my granny I would learn so much that was so valuable so many years later in my life.
It is so good to see a young person such as yourself that has the same qualities and approach to life and plants that I learned so many years ago from my grandmother.
Again I thank you, this is another joy to watch, and I giggled along with you.
Rest easy tonight, because tomorrow we all know that you will be busy as busy can be, and still not forget that we are all out here waiting for the next video.

Rachel weight them down with a small rock to act as ballast. Not too big or it might start to sink as the foliage gets heavier. Might not work but maybe worth a try.
with the red Hibiscus (African Rose Mallow), you'll need to pinch it early in the season to get it bushy, otherwise it tends to grow straight up before branching late in the season. It should grow well, they love water.
awesome, thanks
I really love this series! I'm gonna start tubing for the first time! i got the half barrel, & i have a red mangrove propagule that has been surviving in one of my aquariums, but not really thriving. So I'm gonna try a red mangrove tub!
This series has been so helpful to me. Thanks so much for doing it. Before I saw it I purchased the Tuff Stuff 40 gallon container for a small pond to put in our sunroom. Ruined a plastic plant pot trying to make a waterfall feature for my tub. This will be perfect because I have a pretty powerful pump as I have goldfish in my tub. Appreciate your site!!
Looks great! Also i watched and clicked all the ads😉
I like your style and knowledge about the plants you make it look easy lol 😂 p.s. love your hair
I love all your tubs! I wish my patio was bigger. I cleaned out my little patio pond the other day and put white gravel on the bottom because last year it was just to dark to see my fish. I really want to make that waterfall for it too.
I put snails out and they are multiplying like crazy. I tossed in some water lettuce that I kept indoors over the winter . It survived but it stayed pretty small which actually worked out well.
So now that it’s out side I’m sure it will grow and grow!
I have to get over to the garden center to get more water hyacinth again this year.
Waiting for warmer temps so I can put out some fish for the summer!
I like the idea of the floating baskets !
Maybe you could tie and weight them down with a stone? Or a net that veggies come in from the supermarket? I know the little cutie oranges come in a net, just a thought. 😊
Thanks for sharing all of your ideas! It’s so exciting !
The thumb nail is gorgeous!! I need to make one!!
Beautiful plants. I cut a pool noodle in half length wise and zip tied it around some old slotted pond baskets. Now I will try your idea. Thanks
Thanks, Rachel I'm doing my first tub this season,(3 tubs) you've giving me a lot of ideas, I love your outdoor tub series. Thanks.
Just started my first 20 gallon summer tub! thanks for all the information Rachel.
Your plant center should have you on speed dial. You buy all the awesome things from them.
👍💕👍
Thanks for sharing🙂 You’re very knowledgeable with a great sense of humor, excitingly looking forward to starting my first small bucket to display on a balcony. I’m hoping our Seattle constant wet city will not interfere in the process. ☔️
love the waterfall tub. When spring comes around in my country I will be trying that one out
Love your video's, they are such an inspiration and have given me so many ideas, we live in the Netherlands and the weather is also just getting warm enough to start our new 500 liter tub. Thx for sharing and have a great day😀
Love you getting prepared for summer ! I've got 2 indoor ponds and really needed advice on plants, as I'm terrible with plants all I have is pothos at the moment! So Thankyou for still giving us great information in your videos !
I gave my mom one of those really pretty but fairly inexpensive cala lilies for Mother's Day every year... And then swiped it to use has a marginal in my tub. ;-) They do well partially immersed.
The waterfall tub is amazing!
Im loving these tub episodes. Will you ever share your goldfish pond/tub with us?
Hi Rachel.... to line your pots, you can also use Dollar store coffee filters... they last a long time are are of course very porous to allow water flow.... 🙂
I literally just woke up and thought that green/red pillow thing was a rly big cardinal tetra.
Your video is awesome
love the hair matching the shirt. perfection
Great series. Love the progress.
Like the idea of the floating planters 👍
Put some endlers in one of the budget bins, I want to see something like I'm doing.
Loving this series! Got my tub set up last week, but it's still too cool to put any critters out there. I've just got Java moss out there right now, as breeding Guppies and Neocaridina is my goal. But you're making me consider doing some kind of basket with some other plants in there this year. I'll be looking into that over the next few weeks. 😊💖
The last tub, the tuff tub, is definitely my favorite so far. I vote for Endler's or wild guppies in that tub. 😊
I’m new to the aquarium hobby. I’ve been bingeing on your channel. So many question! Ugh! I would like to know what type of media you use when planting carnivores plants in your tubs?
carnivorous plants need nutrient deplete soil- so I usually do a mix of peat and sand
Wow theres tons of plants wish they had some point plants like that easy to grow seasonal here
Have you ever tried coinweed or dollarweed, they can grow under 6" of water and look like mini lily pads or any of the juncus family? The tub ponds look great!
I am not sure- to be honest. I buy a lot of different stuff to try, but my note taking for my tub plants is subpar at best. I tried something called water snowflake, which is a leucojum and I really liked it
Have you tried pool noodles, cut in sections and glue the ends together for floating pots?
The way I roll I'd just get a basket from dollar tree then zip tie it to the edge of the tub
RP101 Aquatics I do the same thing but with J hooks
Good idea
The waterfall budget tub is by far my favorite. I have yet to tub, I fear my location's summer heat which gets over 100 degrees, plus I am lazy.
Thanks Rachel another Very informational video getting a new koi pond at the end of May not sure how many plants are included in my initial setup don't want to go out and get extra now but don't want to wait too long to get stuff could put it in my old pond.
Go Fish goddess have Shines on us once again😊😎
Try pool noodles to make floating plant basket
Love these uploads
Awesome to have the dayley vidio's again. Love the different colors of the plants. Guess I am going plant shopping tomorrow. Might just need to over winter them in the fish room and get them going round about September/October. On the diy floatin pots. It might float better if you move the styrofoam right to the top edge of the planter and then have the styrofoam taper thinner to the bottom. Have no idea if it might work though
Rachel where do you get your energy from.
Love these videos! I use letgo to find cheap plastic preformed ponds in my rental property. My “local” pond store which is an hour away here in NJ charges ridiculous amounts for the floating planters. How did you make yours? What foam did you use and where did you get it? I work at Lowe’s (I laughed since it was heavily mentioned in the past few videos) I was wondering if I could use insulation boards for the foam. But what did you use? Always love the videos keep it up gurl! You rock!! ❤️😍❤️👍🏼
GREAT VIDEO 👍
I am reminded of the old V8 commercials
You guys were propped on an upside down planter lol
Possible solution for top-heavy DIY planters - tie on a carabiner (through the pot holes) on the bottom so you can either hang counter weights or tie to rocks/weights on the bottom of the tub?
I like calling myself "thrifty" over "cheap". Full price is my f-word. I wish so badly that I could start tubing, these videos are so inspiring. My condo Corp won't have it tho. I wonder if I could do something inside close to my big glass walk out. Any suggestions?
The 40-gallon tub with the waterfall is going to be absolutely gorgeous (it looks awesome even now). Are you going to put fish out in it, and if so, what kind?
Stay tuned ;)
I just went to my local garden center and they wanted 45.99 for ONE BAG of aquatic soil.
Hi Rachel. I wanted to ask about the mosquito bits you were talking about the other day. I have 2 ten gallon shrimp tanks one crystals and one cherries. I want to use this because although they are indoors I get lots of midges mosquitoes and gnats buzzing around the tank. Having a fish pond right outside the back door doesn't help. Could you tell me how many teaspoons for these tanks and how often. Thank you.
Do you need a pump for this? I am thinking of putting my smaller bullfrogs in a longer tub so that they don’t eat my little goldfish in my front yard and some misquote fish, and it will be pretty heavily planted to clean it and provide oxygen . Would a pump be needed for this?
I live in Michigan from early May until the end of October and Southern Florida the rest of the yr. I'm thinking of establishing a tub in each place and taking plants to and fro. Does that seem possible, or am I as nuts as hubby says?
Can't you just use ground cover cloth and wrap that around the Styrofoam to do the dyi floating pots?
Did any of the sensitive plant make it over winter? Also instead of buying shade cloth for the green house have you thought about the white liquid that makes the glass more opaque. Keeping the heat down.
yes, one small piece made it and is growing. I have thought about that, but just not sure if/what I need to do this year- we will see how the season goes
Great series! I'm just setting my first tub up this year. I have a dwarf lotus bulb (from one of my aquariums) that is just starting to sprout again. What would be the best way to go about getting it into my tub and growing to the surface?
👍🏻👍🏻🤠
I don't have a tub yet. But I am experimenting in the house. I am very limited on my space and supplies. I was curious if you have ever collected pants from local bodies of water and would recommend this?
You need to be careful as collecting may violate the law. Certain species are protected by law, depending on your location.
I started up 2 ponds on my balcony with Makeda rice fish in 1 and white clouds in the other. I have 2 window planters filled with bog plants on the side of each tub with different color Aquatic mint, iris plants and spider lily planted. What fertilizer do you use for your plants?
I only really fertilize the lilies, and just use generic lily root tabs for those. The marginals, I haven't really bothered, but if they are failing to grow or flower, I will likely add the same tabs.
Where do you find your tubs?
So what do you do with the fish in the winter? Is it warm enough in your greenhouse to overwinter them?
I move them indoors and sell most
Hi Rachel, may I ask what materials are your floating pots made of particularly the one you bought from the store in the past?(not your DIY)
Styrofoam and fabric
@@RachelOLeary ok got it Rachel, thank you, but may i know what kind of fabric is it?
👌👽👌
Why not try out cryptocoryne? There are a lot of varieties to choose from..
Can weed block cloth be used instead of paper? Just a thought. I'm a big fish guy indoors. I live on a lake and am looking to do small lake fish in a 110 gallon tub. When fall comes I can release them back into the lake. Sunnies mostly. I have 7 indoor tanks already an can't do another for breeding from summer thru the winter. I deal exclusively with cichlids. I might get beat up on this post but looking for input.
weed block would work. i would nto release the fish into the lake though
Any reason? They came from the same lake and will eat the same food I will feed them. I truly am looking for advice but am curious to why.
I am a subscriber and always look forward to your vids.
Its generally illegal to do so because of the risk of introducing pathogens
Good point. Koi it is. Thanks.
Can I send you a video I made from my RUclips on how I hang my pots?
