| Hi all, I have a tiny pond, 50 gallons, with a fountain in the middle. I would love to put a couple of water plants inside. Is it possible to do use plants even though the water is moving?
Thanks |

| I understand that water lilies don't like moving water, but other than that, I think most water plants are okay with moving water. Water Hyacinth or water Lettuce should do okay. Anne |

| My water lilies do great even with my large water fall. They are winter hardy and I have had them for years. I have another small pond with a "spitting frog' and those lilies do fine too. The only plant that I have found that does not like the moving water is lotus. It took me a long time and a lot of $$ to figure that out! Lousianna Iris also do excellent here in my zone 6 PA, they keep mutiplying each year. |

| Ok thanks. I have a spitting turtle at the top and the fountain is in the larger bottom section. Can they be immersed in their own pot, since the pond water is in a plastic tub. |
