propagation

[pondlady]

Can anyone tell me where to find supplies for growing Water plants? I have a small green house and would like to propagate pond plants. Have searched everywhere and cant seem to find a place that supplies this kind of stuff. Anyone got any Info. that can guide me in the right direction?
Thanks:100:

You might want to go to your local nursery, if they have water plants, and pick thier brains on how they manage theirs.

I have been experimenting with various water plants. I have plants in gravel, some in soil, some anchored by rocks both in and out of water. I have discovered that some, so called water plants do better in dirt next to the pond. I don't use any chemicals in my ponds for the plants or water quality, everything is as natural as a home made pond can be.

I have plants in tubs without fish and I have found that some do well and others are doing better where there are fish to fertilize the water.

Hope this gives you some ideas.

I went to the pet store, the only ones they have are the ones that there plants came in. They gave me one and i bet I can get a few more. They threw away 100 little mesh baskets. Dumb. Got a start anyway.
