I am new to aquatic plants, but not new to gardening in general. I want to try some out, but am not ready to commit to a whole pond. I purchased (impulse) 3 water type plants from Lowes, 1 water lily, 1 cattail type and 1 more (can't remember the name off hand)they are growing in a bucket of water right now.
I have a whiskey barrel, and plan to get a liner for it. I also have an old red water pump. I am thinking about putting them together into a water feature. I thought water trickling from the pump into the barrel would be nice. But don't know if I will have time to rig that part.
My questions are:
Do I NEED to have the water moving?
CAN I put a fountain of some type with these?
What do I do about mosquito larve?
Do I need to treat the water in any way?
Is full sun ok? or do I need part sun?
Thank you!
