Pond in a Pot: Blogs and FAQs

A pond in a pot is a small, self-contained water feature created using a container such as a pot, trough, barrel, or planter. It’s essentially a miniature pond — perfect for patios, balconies, or small gardens where space is limited.

A pond in a pot can be placed almost anywhere, but somewhere with at least four hours a day of sunlight and sheltered from strong winds is ideal.

A great variety of plants can be placed in a pond in a pot, including marginal, floating and oxygenating or underwater plants. See our blog for full details and to get some ideas.

To maintain your pond in a pot, top up with dechlorinated water in dry spells, remove dead leaves to prevent rot and algae, and ensure the planting is balanced to prevent algae.
