Hi, I have a 100 gallon hexagon block link pond which is yet to be set
up.

I have 5 mint plants.


Plant in rocks, or free float if small.

Eldoea.


Can be weighted down or free floating. If small, free float for now.

Yellow Iris root things?


Plant in basket w/rocks to hold it in place.

and one white lilly and one pink lilly roots.


One in each basket, cut end against the side of basket. Lay on top of muddy
soil, then weed fabric strips with rocks on top to hold it down. Some
tomato spikes to feed them tucked into the mud. Submerge. If mesh basket,
line with weed fabric before putting mud within.

There are instructions w/pictures all over the web, let google be your
friend.
