How do I start planting in my pond?

To start planting in your pond, first choose the right plants for your climate and pond depth. Do you have specific plants in mind?

I was thinking about water lilies and cattails.

Great choices! Water lilies need at least 12-24 inches of water, while cattails can thrive in shallower areas. Do you need tips on planting them?

Yes, what’s the best way to plant them?

For water lilies, place them in a pot with aquatic soil and submerge them at the right depth. Cattails can be planted directly in the soil at the water's edge. Would you like to know about maintenance?

That would be helpful, thanks!

Regularly check for algae and debris, and ensure the plants have enough sunlight. Fertilizing water lilies can also promote growth. Let me know if you have more questions!
