How to Make a Container Water Garden
1.๐ผ Pick a container (pot, bowl, etc.) that holds at least 5 gallons and either has drainage holes or can manage overflow.
2. ๐ผPlace your container in a sunny spot (4-6 hours of sunlight). Add a layer of gravel or rocks to anchor plants.
3. ๐ผChoose a mix of submerged (e.g hornwort), floating (e.g water lilies), & marginal plants (e.g irises) for a balanced ecosystem.
4. ๐ผ Fill using dechlorinated water & let tap water sit for 24 hours.
5. ๐ผAdd Fish (Optional) Consider small fish like goldfish, ensuring no overcrowding.
6. ๐ผMaintenance: Top up water regularly, control algae, & trim plants to keep the pond healthy.
