Very interesting, thank you. We moved last year and have gained two ponds. One is a nature pond, the lilies are very overgrown and I’ve been in the pond and can’t find any pot they are sitting in. I know you’ve advised doing this in spring, but I have newts and toads that visit our pond. I’m worried about disturbing their reproduction. Could I get away with repotting the lilies now? And advice would be appreciated.

@@LucyTully-Duggan-f6c Thank you for watching our video and for your question 💚 It is best to wait until the water is warmer for the lillies themselves and springtime is the time to do it - the amphibians will be tadpoles or efts by then and will be quite mobile not to be disturbed by any repotting We hope this helps and how lovely to have two ponds in your new home Have a lovely weekend All the best Melanie and John 🌸

Personally I wouldn't be so keen on obstructing that single drainage hole for something like an olive tree, which generally detest damp roots. The jury's out on how useful crocks actually are in general. For similar reasons I prefer to increase the pot size bit-by-bit, rather than jumping to something significantly bigger. Some good tips otherwise.
