For everything but the water lilies and lotus, I bare root everything and
pot them in gravel. They are able to get the nutrients from the water and
though the koi take some of the rocks, they aren't rooting in soil and
clouding the water for me.

I see posts here that say to put your plants in pea stone. When I get my
plants they are in some type of clay/soil, now do I plant them as is in
the
pea stone, or do I make them bare root and then put them into the pea
stone?
