Hi , I got Horsetail Rush in Homedepot in a pot but it didn't identify it as "Giant." Horsetail. Can I still get to the full bush look? or do I have to get the "Giant" type in order to get the full bush look? Thank you

didn't know the Flash was into ponds

Nice man

But what does the outdoor temp need to be? It’s may and I’m in the NE.

Can u use same soil every year or change soil every year. Thanks

I've had a water feature in our backyard for years and had no algae. A few years back I added some river and pond pebbles and had algae since. It's been hair like mossy. I just rake it out by hand and haven't really worried about it but it's a little annoying as it grows fast and needs cleaned out often. We don't have fish but we do have frogs. We don't of course feed them. I've thought about getting some the pool chemicals to get rid of the algae but it really didn't seem a big enough problem. My question would be where did the algae come from? Maybe the pond and river pebbles? Your video answered some questions and I now think I was right to just remove the algae as much as possible and not worry about it.

Wives everywhere suddenly intrigued by a pond algae video 😂

My man straight pulled a Captain Kirk.😆

Great video! I was reassured to be patient with my new algae growth and let it work itself out after I had to replace almost half of water due to a leak. Not mention the new 80 degree temps in TN.

How to treat light pea soup pond

Do your have bulbs......?

Cam you please list the names of the plants in this video ?

Thanks for your advice.

🥰

I was told by the lady I bought some fish from that they need weeds to feed on. I bought some that came in a bunch of ten straws. Do I leave them attached? do I spread them separately? on top of the pond? or do I put them in a pot? thanks for your reply

Thank you! This is very informative. The geek humor was also very nice 👌 🫶

I get hair algae in spring before the plants (a giant 3-gallon purple bull rush and an equally big iris) start to grow once they grow, they suck up all the nutrients in water and the algae dies off avoid all chemicals accidentally killed a few fish that way just have a combo fountain, uv light, filter and waterfall filters for intake and top of waterfall I try to rotate cleaning the filters so there is bacteria to break down waste in the uncleaned filter. just rinse out filters and put them back in seems the less i change things the better it works.

i just made my own bog filter and the water is clearing.

Great video! Could I get that list of plants you mentioned? You really helped me to understand the algae issue I am having right now. Thanks again

Great plants you have back there

Why is my plant rapidly yellowing, is it maybe due to size of the pot, which i think it's overgrown. And how do i divide literally a clay block if i take it out to divide and repot :(

So in conclusion... If you want your pond to be clean, take your shirt off.

Good video. The Blue Lotus is really a lily, as Jack rabbits are not rabbits, peanuts are not nuts, the American Buffalo is not a buffalo, Blue Jays are not really blue, a Bearcat is neither a bear nor a cat, the Flying fox isn't a fox, the electric eel is not an eel, the Mantis shrimp is neither a mantis nor a shrimp, the horned toad is not a toad, the Jellyfish is not a fish, the Lion's mane is actually a fungi....need I go on?? #whoisnamingshitanyway

Do not go to this company for anything. Don’t bother asking for advice or even being polite. I’m so disgusted by their lack of respect. This video caused me to go to their website excited to find a good pond plant company, or so I thought, as I have looked for pond plants many times over the last 3-4 years. I’m working on a small pond (3’ tall, 5’ wide and 7’ long). Warm weather hit sooner than usual, a major algae bloom hit hard and in one weeks time, before the surrounding shade providers had a chance to grow leaves for the shade. We are preparing to move and I am in process of making everything look great while selling house, plus I love our twelve large FanTail Goldfish and toads. I sent an email inquiring for suggestions for best plants and if they knew how to deal with sludge better aside from added tablets I use. They have so many plants, I have a $200 budget I would like to stick with and was hoping for best impact for faster response creating a healthier pond. Last year the kids and I enjoyed pond walking, and brought home some pieces of plants to grow. The pond was gorgeous and thrived last year! We also got stuck with some sludge leech eggs, thankfully they don’t cause any harm that I can tell. The pond has developed an awesome natural environment drawing in many critters as there is no natural water feature anywhere within a mile of our yard. My Fantails have been producing babies for a couple years too which is fun. It started out as a “winging it” project when I didn’t want to throw the pool in garbage. Instead I bought a pond liner, then surrounded the entire pool, with the gigantic mound of discarded concrete chunks from our neighbors, redoing their driveway. All of it re-purposed, helping the environment, and creating a great educational experience for my kids. My email asked about plants for my particular set up to deal with problem and if they had any suggestions to better manage sludge. I even said, I understood I was asking a lot and no need to reply. It was worth a try to ask and I complimented their videos here. It really wasn’t a very long email, in fact, it was just a couple paragraphs as the kids and I enjoyed sharing with this company our fun pond we created repurposing a children’s pool. Mistakenly, we thought they might actually appreciate hearing from someone that really enjoys creating ponds. Has my children are homeschooled, I also was using the opportunity for them to learn about reaching out to companies to gain help and support when possible. Well the following is their response copy and pasted from email. Just very unnecessarily rude. Obviously the $200 budget I said I was hoping to be enough wasn’t enough money for them to even be polite, let alone make any suggestions, care to gain a new customer, or just not respond if they disliked my very nice complementary email. I am simply trying to improve a small pond I enjoyed creating for fun with my kids out of their old swimming pool to give them a fun experience and so far it’s been a great project for a few years we keep improving. Copy & Paste (no they did not sign a name and the email was just the company one). This is the EXACT email including capitalization. I changed nothing…. “Our WEBSITE is all pond plants, the email is nice but way too long winded. You likely won't want to pay for shipping any plants given where you were going and adding local plants you took and adding leeches. You are welcome to visit the website but you really don't sound like a customer. We have all the education you need there. Kind regards

Can you use fluval stratum to plant water lilies? I've been asking around but nobody either seems to know or if they do not answering.

What other containers can be used if you can't get one of them?

So helpful! Thanks.

I hear if you plant them facing wall of tub, about two inches away from tub wall, then it depends it's energy in making more flowers rather than making tuber. So if you want to make long tuber, plant it away from wall, and if you want more flowers then plant it facing the tub wall. Your inputs please

I would have thought cutting the old leaves and buds off would help the plant recover faster.

they say its cringy to answer but they themselves are cringe as hell

Thank you but doesn't it matter how much sun your pond is getting? My pond is in full shade so not sure if some of these will work for me.

My man been searching for this info, thank you

So the psychoactive blue lotus that the Pharaohs in Egypt consumed is no longer available? I watched a video where they chemically analized the blue lotus that was buried with a Pharoah and a modern Blue Lotus and the chemical makup was near identical. One of the psychoactive compounds Apomorphine is prescribed for ED and parkasins.

Are all tropical water lilies annuals? I live in Florida in zone 9A.

I just got a stem of this plant. Im in South Florida, i have a back patio where i grow different floaters and aquatic plants for aquariums. Im a little concerned though cus right now we have our silly winter temperatures but nontheless the water in alot of my tubs is around 65°. Should i start it in a pot and put it in a tub where i run a heater to about 78° or just plant and submerge in the ambient temp water?

This is useful info. I want that full bush. I have to wait then. They’re not selling it here locally for two years.
