Planting media

Question:
Do ogon sweet flag, oenanthe fist, and pontederia cordata pond plants, need soil?
I purchased these plants in soil but don't really want to introduce soil to my patio pond. Is it necessary or can I rinse the soil off and place the roots with stones, in a basket?


Answer:

You can plant in any media from rockwool to kitty litter. Little stones will work just fine.
