Has anyone ever tried Nymphaea lotus (zenkeri) bulbs (I believe the common name is "Tiger Lotus Lily") in a small container pond? Apartment dweller here so I am limited to what I can do, which means small (half barrel at most) and not really a power source either so no water movement. I have been...

Is anyone here from the UK?

Hi everyone. We just purchased a new home and I know it's too late to dig our pond this year, but we're not sure where to put it in the spring. The back is southern exposure, with a small slope 1/4 way into it and several trees including one very large Pine. Here is a pic of the back garden, any...

What do I need to do with my blue & yellow flag iris's for the winter? Thanks Kathy

I'm overwintering my water hyacinths and a couple other plants and they are THRIVING under 4 normal 40" shop lights. One of the water hyacinths is getting to be almost 2 feet across and the others are at least 1'. They're growing way faster than they did outside over the summer. If anybody is...

I spent a couple of hours this afternoon pulling the brown Hyacinths out of the pond. It's interesting that the water lettuce is still nice and green. I moved most of the remaining lettuce into the veggie filter for now, I know it'll die as soon as we have a hard freeze. Next I've got to trim all...

I have an attractive 6-7 inch koi that I will give free to a good home/pond in the Pittsburgh area. My wife brought him earlier this year and placed him into our aquarium as a suprise for me without understanding how big the (then) little fella would get. He (she?) is already getting too large...
