Do you have a picture of your pond and placement of the air stone? Yes, they do like calm water, but that doesn’t mean they won’t do well with motion — I have one close to a filter fountain, and it seems to be doing well. How MUCH disturbance is there?

Hi been trying to upload photo but no success with iCloud storage!!! The stone is situated about 6inches away from the basket but more worried about the leaves getting the moving water and bubbles over them

When they get bubbles on them they may discolor. I have some lily leaves right under the output of my water flow in the hot tub pond, they are blooming like crazy, just some leaves don't look perfect. No biggy to me.

Give the proper soil/ clay / and fertilizer and they will grow in a little current
