Nice plants! Every time I fold laundry, I contemplate being a nudist. Then I remember what I look like naked and keep folding!!

It’s funny I can not have an outdoor pond, but pond content is one of my favorite things to watch.

Woo! Hoo!! Now we're talking. I love my pond. Just put in last year. Creeping Jenny is my favorite plant. I have it in floating containers, around the edge, in my bog filter, and in some of my patio containers. Great plant.

Last week I bought plants for my new small pond. And now this video came up.
I got 4 of the 5 you recommend here 😂 (only missing the papyrus). I feel validated.

A couple years ago I used one of the 50G water trough tubs from TSC and made one end a soil base with sand cap with just a couple inches of water with the dwarf papyrus and a couple other pond plants inside and I absolutely loved it and so did the fish. And that setup was where I got dwarf hair grass to go absolutely nuts. That was in between the pond plants and the crypts in the deep end. Pond plants are fun with small fish and fry.

Great advice, I too have a small home and area but I want to make it the “ OUTSIDE THEATER OF NATURE” so thank you for this great advice, happy planting! ❤

Yes!! Joanna, can you make a video on where to find cute containers for tub ponds? I’m really struggling finding attractive containers in the 20-50 gallon range. Thank you!!

I can't wait to see the head planters.

Love how you do your mini everythings...can't wait to see your pond!

Greetings. Thankyou for the video. I really enjoyed it. I hope we’ll see more of your creativeness in times to come. You truly have a gift! Sincerely, Marty Borst 🌿🐠

Ah yes, the famous “Creeping Jenny” video!! 🤣 I was wondering when it would show up. 😂 I was just at Steins yesterday and saw a few of these varieties. I have Creeping Jenny already and seems to be doing very well this year. It was choked out by another plant I had and now is making its comeback.😊 I’m looking forward to the rest of this series. My pond is very small too, so I’m excited to see how you set yours up!! Have a great Wednesday Joanna!

[GabbyRocio]

Watching this again for this pond season. Do you remove the soil?

[debbiebamrick]

Good morning Joanna- nice group of plants- love the dwarf papyrus! Can’t wait for the next video about ponds- I almost have my husband convinced that we need a pond- lol - Tractor supply here we come! TYFS and have a great day!

We have a beautiful 2500 gallon pond in our yard & I LOVE it… it is my peace oasis. However, I know nothing about plants so every year it is a struggle to find something hardy. thank you for this video.. will head out for some Creeping Jenny & Fiber Optics plants!

[dollycaldwell]

so happy to hear this....we live on the wetlands & I just purchased some creeping jenny. looking forward to planting it and watching it thrive....nice presentation

[mongguppiesandendlers]

I am in NW Indiana and am so glad i found this video! So many pond videos are down south where the plants won't last up here in Indiana. lol

Can the creeping jenny you buy at Lowes or home Depot be planted in an aquarium? Will it live?? I'm sure there would be a melt back, of course. But could it work??

[papasmerf]

Just started my 35 gallon deck pond. I planted umbrella palm, cardinal flower, sweet flag, blue eyed grass and yellow rain lily. All are planted marginally in dynadirt at about 4-5 inches. The only 1 that seems to be doing well is the umbrella palm. Maybe I just need to wait until it gets a little warmer and sunnier. My 2 feeder goldfish are living their best lives in there.

3:03 the spiral rush is super good for fry as well. Not to mention that plants like that promote the growth of tiny food for the fry and tiny fish.
