There are two plants close to the pond. Mussaenda and Brugmansia. The stems of these are just 30 inches from edge of the pond. The roots piercing the liner must be from the Mussaenda as it is in a straight line to that stem, on the side. I had expected it one day or other. But it has come a bit sooner in my judgment. Now what I'm going to do is remove the liner in that part and repair it from outside after reducing the water level and cutting the roots. It will be some work! I do not want to change anything as the pond has settled very nicely. I just noticed it last week while relaxing there with coffee.

Any ponders have faced a similar problem? In that case, what has been done? Would you kindly share it with me? The white one is the root.
