Default alternative plant uses - not found in books...

What do you do with the impatiens when you use them in water? Do they need
to be in special "water garden" pots? Do you anchor them?

My teeny little 3' water garden could use some shade to reduce algae growth,
as I don't use algicides because my dogs drink from the water garden. Also,
due to above-mentioned dogs, the average life of a floating plant (i.e.
Water Hyacinth) is less than 24 hours!

Impatients - can be put directly into water and will thrive very very

well -
I use them as pond plants and just put them right into the water and in

the
water fall itself

To grow another fig tree - scrape the bark on a low laying branch and then
cover it with soil, the next spring when that branch throws out leaves it
will also have rooted itself and you can now cut if off from the main tree
and it will produce fruit in another year or 2

any other not in the books?
