I cannot figure out how you keep the tropicals inside. your setup doesn't
look very large.... afterall the plants spread over 10 feet outside in the
pond!


what am I missing???

I have my last tropical just yanked from the pond, sitting on the porch,, if
anyone has suggestions on how to save it for over the winter,,,,

: )

Has anyone had success with bringing a tropical water lily inside and

Yes, on my webpage you'll see my patio pond I have in my living room, it
is
35 gallons and will hold 6 T.lilies in 8" diameter round containers. Some
years have been better than others, Last year I didn't add heat and lost 2
of the 6 I had in there. This year I'll put the aquarium heater back in
and
see if that was the problem. It only cooled off to 65F, so I'm not totally
convinced it was the temp. ~ jan
