Selection of mini pond container

To say that this can be used as a container for waterscape, it's really a lot of flowers to count carefully, because we can use all buckets, basins, grooves and plates that can hold water

For example, the old wooden barrel forgotten in the storage room, the waste bathtub many years ago, and even the water pool made of cement fine sand

Of course! On the premise of ensuring that the container is watertight, its height is about 40cm and its diameter is about 60cm. The size of the container can also be adjusted according to the plant

Selection of mini pond plants

1. Emergent water

The most commonly used plants are lotus, Phyllostachys pubescens, Lythrum, cattail, Acorus calamus, barracuda grass, zailihua, Alisma orientalis, hairpin, etc

2. Floating water

Floating plants have good ornamental properties. The most commonly used ones are water lily, duckweed and yellow flower Ling

3. Floating class

Floating plants drift with the tide, mostly watching leaves. The most commonly used ones are Tian Ziping, xingcai, water hyacinth, water duckweed, etc

4. Submerged class

Sleeping plants have the best ability to purify water quality, such as goldfish algae, black algae, bitter grass, net grass, crown grass, Cizao, water shield grass, etc

Manufacturing method of mini pond

1. Prepare containers (large iron pots) and aquatic plants, select pond mud for planting, and prepare several water filtering baskets (vegetable baskets) to fix the soil

2. Fill the iron basin with water, and then fill the water filter basket with pond mud. The bottom layer can be mixed with fertilizer to improve soil fertility

3. Plant water lilies in the pond mud and compact them slightly by hand

4. The soil surface for planting water lilies is paved with 3cm thick pebbles to make the potted plants clean and beautiful

5. Grasp the handrail of the water filter basket and slowly sit the water lily in the iron bucket filled with water

6. Then use a small water filtering basket to plant papyrus and sit in the pool. If the height of the water filtering basket is not enough, a small flowerpot can be padded on the bottom

7. There are both emergent and floating plants. We can also plant a submerged water shield grass and sit at the bottom of the pool

8. The spare corners of the pool are planted with several water duckweeds

9. Finally, we fill the mini pond with water so that the leaves of the water lily just float on the water

10. After the mini pool is completed, put it in a place with sufficient scattered light. After the plants resume growth, raise a few small fish in the pool, which can also solve the problem of mosquitoes
