Growing Star Grass

Q: I have been dabbling with a small pond for awhile but definitely not too knowledgeable on plants. What kind of pot do I use to plant this in for the pond? Diana

. A: Star grass is a full sun, zone 7 pond plant and grows well in shallow water and out side the pond too. Any kind of pot will work well. I like to use ceramic or Terra Cotta pots in the pond, because it allows water to seep through the walls... but it all depends on what kind of look you are going for. If you want to keep it contained without the roots growing through the bottom, then a no-holes pot it needed. You can also plug the holes of a regular black nursery pot with a plastic bag at the bottom, then fill with sand, gravel, or loam etc.

Thanks! This was good food for thought. GAiL

I absolutely love the Leno mesh bags. Their durable yet lightweight design makes them perfect for a variety of uses, from carrying fresh produce to organizing items at home. The breathability of the mesh helps keep fruits and vegetables fresh longer, which is a huge plus. Plus, it's fantastic to see such an eco-friendly alternative to traditional plastic bags. Your commitment to quality and sustainability really shines through in these bags. Great job promoting a practical solution that benefits both consumers and the environment.
