Vanishing Waterfalls Easy DIY Planter Pot Fountain

Although I've done a pond this year, I still have so much planned for outside. This DIY Fountain wasn't on my radar originally, but I think it was a great addition to the lineup! It's a great example of what you can make with a little elbow grease and a solid idea. Plus, it's great to have the sounds of waterfalls on the property again! My wife and I have missed the sounds of our ponds since we moved, but this solves that issue for now.
Anyway, join me in this fun tutorial as I show you how I transformed a few planter pots into a beautiful, living piece of art. Enjoy!

I’m really excited to share this one with you! It was an idea I came up with on a whim, but I really like how it turned out. It was also a great way to use old materials I’ve had sitting around the house. What do you think of the project? Let me know! In addition to this, I can’t wait to show you some of the other things I’ve been doing outside. Cool stuff in the works! Until then, enjoy the video and have a great weekend SerpaSquad!

You know you're a plant person when you're jealous of someone's soil! All that beautiful black dirt - but the pondless waterfall was SO worth it!!

All sand for me :(

You clay guys are lucky.. i miss my heavy clay soil,😒 it's hot here, and all I got on this hill is rubble! 😆🥴

My day is better now that there’s been a serpa upload. I just got a baby leopard gecko and after watching all of your videos, I felt/feel comfortable in creating her tank and future tanks. Thank you Tanner!

Because of this channel, I’ve gotten into building patio ponds! Built my third one this past week, today I’m setting it up with substrate and plants!

[@StiffPvtParts]

You should show it off!

[@theocloete4320]

Your videos really helped me a lot in my life, I got 1st place in an arts festival and inspired many people, just like you inspire us. You make a difference in people's lives and motivate your community to do better! Thank you so much! 😊 Much love from South Africa

[@TheSeptemberRose]

Your neighbours must LOVE you! You're single-handedly beautifying your property's "curb appeal", and hopefully others will be inspired to learn from you! But also you're doing it in an environmentally friendly way. Where I live (in a condo), there are fountains and water features out back, but they pour chlorine into them to keep away algae and creatures. It makes me annoyed that they do that.

[@janetrussell3288]

That’s a transformation! The base already looks very pretty, cool and refreshing with the mix of plants and stones. I was expecting a plant or two in the highest pot to have it act as a ‘bog filter’ and help keep the water clean, but maybe the flow rate is too high and/or not the look you had in mind. I wonder whether the moss will creep up the pots over time too.

[@melanieschwarz2181]

I love the pink flowers! I feel like a lot of your builds focus mainly on leafy plants, so I love to see a special build that incorporates a lot of flowers :) great work!

[@estermardoqueo6411]

What a wonderful thing is having a young man so creative, you are a jewels in a bunch. Blessed is the lady who have you as a husband. Just a thought from a grandma👏👏👏❤😊

[@johnnygalaxy9022]

Ohh... Finding that Giant millipede got me thinking... Create a terrarium for them! :)

[@dinoduckling2662]

Cute idea but they'd eat all the moss (which we know Sherpa loves using) and plants so it would end up looking pretty depressing

[@johnnygalaxy9022]

@@dinoduckling2662 the way I got around that with my terrarium was putting more rotting wood, and pieces root veggies and mushrooms for them to snack on, so they pretty much left the moss alone.

[@henrystp]

I second this

This is so beautiful. I love all of your projects, but this one is easily one of my favorites.

I am always fascinated how you look at something already stunning and say needs a bit more rocks/moss and it looks even better. I wouldn't even had noticed it

[@maggiemaeclune4046]

As I was watching this I just kept getting more and more and more impressed. Such a great job! Looks sooo good!

looking forward to seeing the little succulents spread out. hen and chicks are so nice when they've propagated into a large mat.

[@erickleinwolterink3524]

Bro, that's amazing. You did a great job and your ability to create this on the fly is amazing. You very obviously have developed a truly unique skill to make something like this without spending days and days in the planning stages.

[@stevenstucko7039]

You are one of my heroes. You inpsire my creativity and make me feel I'm not the only one who gets stressed at times. You should be happy when thinking about your contribution to the world. Remember that next time you feel down in the dumps. I wish I had 1.5 M people who thought I was worthy of their attention.

[@themurrrr]

This is so beautiful. And the sound it makes! Am also looking forward to see an update with the moss and plants having had a chance to thrive.

Great job Tanner!!! I have also been working on a water feature for my perennial garden. The pot I’m using is one that I’m reusing from an old fountain from my mother’s house. It has been a little tricky, I had it up and running but I used some granite from a kitchen project I had laying around. It looked great for a few days then I woke up to it sitting in the sump, lol. Version 2 coming up, thanks for the inspiration.

[@sarahwatts7152]

I love the sound this setup makes

[@willh7440]

So beautiful and tranquil! I’ve been getting into carnivorous plants lately and thinking about making an outdoor bog (it’s less maintenance than even this would be) and if you have a sunny spot somewhere in your backyard it might be fun to see your unique take on it! California Carnivores has some great pro tips on what types of plants would be most suitable
