Post #4524075

I've been seeing no-hole pots for sale on various wesites. Currently, i'm using a square pot with net-like holes, sold at lowes, for all my aquatic plants, including my water lilies. Is this OK?. I am also using plane kitty litter for all the potting medium. I had used a commercial one gallon pot for the water lily without problems. I have two goldfish in the small water feature made with an oval livestock watering trough. There is no filter, but there is a recirculating pump and water spitter. So far, the plant has done well and the roots have grown out of the pot's holes. I want to start another Water lily in another waterfeature and want to make sure I'm using the proper pot and medium. Thanks in advance. STU
