Water Gardening: Please help., 1 by MollyMc

Zest,

When I recently moved from zone 10b to 8b, I brought my bulbs and planted them in the ground. When they started coming up this spring, I found 3-4 callas. So I dug them up, put them in a pot with part potting soil, and mostly the sand I have for yard soil. It needed to stay heavy enough for the planting medium not to float away.

Since I have no shelf in my pond I had to make a float out of styrofoam, with a hole in the middle of it to float the calla pot. For some reason, I think the callas act better as marginals, not fully submerged.

Sunday we went on a canoe trip down the Santa Fe River and collected more pond plands, so my pond is a bit full now. Hopefully I can drap more water vines over the styrofoam to camouflage it better.

P.S. By the way, you can buy foam pot floaters at most water garden supply centers too.
