Silly question? What is an oil pan? I've used pond baskets in the past, but always interested unlearning new ways

the cheap oil pans you can buy at walmart, you drain you car oil into them.

I went to Dollar Tree and got mine. They are just plastic bowls for $1. I'll fill the bottom with a little gravel, lay the lily on that then fill it the rest of the way up with gravel. I have my white lilies in black oil pans and my colored lilies in colored bowls. I give away white lilies when I rehome fish in the spring.

I hear dishpans work well too. I'm not sure on their price compared to other containers, though.

They don't like corners, I had one in a pan like that it really grew weird and not the best. At least mine didn't round works the best for mine.

I'm pretty excited ! I bought oil pans at Walmart yesterday - think they were $3.97. I also bought the plain clay kitty litter. After stopping at the fish hatchery for information, I worked osamocote really well into the kitty litter, making sure none was floating on the top. I bought a more sturdy plastic fencing that the bird netting I've use before, and covered and zip tied the pans

I place two of the Sunset Perrys ( not rue I got the name correctO0 on top of my predator rock, as it's raised off the bottom, in hope they'll get a good start there. It is close to my waterfall, which is kind of powerful ( not on at the moment), so want to learn how to regulate the flow of it, to make it more gentle.

Thank you so much Addy for the lilies! Now onto building a little container bog / snippy, for my bog plants

P.S. After the waterfall, I'm going to work on float in baskets - priced wreath forms and pots at Walmart yesterday.

Sounds great, just remember lilies do not like a lot of moving water. Splash can spot the leaves too.
