Beautiful container pond. I love the moss. I got some moss growing on my pond but nothing like that. Great job!

Beautiful.. you have a natural talent!! I have tried several times to do this.. but it always looks like someone just threw rocks and stuff together. Yours melds..blends and looks natural. Have you thought of lettuce.. this is a natural hydroponics setup!

depends, most need earth. all need earth to thrive
how did you get the moss to get on the pot.

@Amathos, the trick to this is that the pot is actually lined with many tiny fine cracks so that water is constantly leaking out onto the surface. This creates a great environment for moss to grow. Unfortunately, the cracks grew too large and after I sealed them the lack of water on the surface caused the moss to go away.

i love ur pot with moss, its wonderful.
wish u'd hide the hose where the water flows out.
if u can get ur hands on a old granite grinding stone with a spout (for grinding things into paste), it will fit perfectly where ur spout is

@hongster76, thanks for the tip. The plants have grown so much now though, you can hardly see the spout.

can the water plants be planted in soil or do they need to be in water?

The plants I have in the container can be planted in soil and actually do very well in the dirt. In the water, their roots just grow out in thick mats which makes for a good filtration system to remove nitrates from the water.
