There is a better way to plug the drain holes in the pot.Auto parts sell what is called expansion plugs of different sizes,it’s used to plug the hole in engine blocks.It has a nut that you tighten and expand the plug after it’s inserted in the hole,therefore sealing the hole.it’s made of rubber.Good thing is it can be taken off to drain the pot for repairs or what have you.I have it on my water garden pot.

Hi guys the white pot you should put a solar light in there that would look really pretty I'm getting from dollar store they have butterflies in them now and why would you use all that stuff in the bottom why you can't you just put some Cement I have 2 of those blue pots once bigger than the other so I am gonna fill the bigger one with some rocks place the smaller 1 on top then my fountain I wonder how it's gonna look I hope it turns out great but let me know about this meant can you not use the cement to close the holes
@emileeandlora Жыл бұрын
Hi Dorothy, thanks you for your questions and comments. The white planter does have led lighting included with the water pump kit. It is also remote controlled which makes it very easy to operate. We chose to use a combo of plastic and rocks as filler. All rocks and or cement would be heavy to move around. We use plastic bottles as planter fill material which is a great way to recycle weight plastic. You can certainly use cement to plug the holes. We chose to use water proof foam spray because it's easier to remove if we ever wanted to have the hole back. Best of luck with you planter and share pictures we would love to see it!

On the pot outfitted with the solar pump, doesn’t the pot basically become a mosquito magnet anytime there isn’t enough sun to keep the fountain running?
@emileeandlora2 ай бұрын
Thanks for this question! Where we live, mosquitoes are not a big issue. For people with mosquito issues, we would suggest a two pot fountain with plants that repel mosquitoes around the the center pot filled with water. There are several floral and fragrant options, which make beautiful outside decor. We will make a video on this soon, so please come back or subscribe and turn on your video notification bell.

@emileeandlora3 ай бұрын
Thanks for asking! Although plants have come and gone, mainly due to seasonal exposure, the fountains are still going strong. We are in PNW, so we do put these away over the winter months, so they have had two winters stored away for 4 months each.

It appears your largest pot in the first fountain is unglazed on the inside. Won’t it absorb water?
@emileeandloraАй бұрын
The clay interior with glazed exterior will help the pot retain water. The exterior is also fired, which makes the pot more resistant to cracking. Pots with glazed interiors and exteriors will not breathe, so if you are adding plants to your fountain pot, we suggest an unglazed interior.

Hi! Most of the pond plants are listed in the description section of the video. You can purchase through the links or visit a local nursery for assistance. If they don't carry, they can direct you or special order. If you have a local pond store, that could be a good place to start.

We used empty plant containers for height and surrounded those with plastic bottles and foam packing sheets which supported the plants. We like to use recycled materials as full in our planters when possible. I hope that answers your question. We appreciate you watching the video and hope you found it inspirational!
