This is a post I did a few weeks ago but I was so disappointed in the format flip book I thought it should be redone.
I have a large Philodendron plant I've had for years. As the runners get long, I cut them and put them in water to sprout.
I had several so I added them to this fountain.
I had ran across a pin on Pinterest about keeping your fountains clean with Hydrogen Peroxide.
I had added the HP to
this fountain a few weeks prior and I was amazed at how sparking clean the fountain became without any residue that stopped up the pump and kept the water sparkling.
What I didn't know was the affect the HP would have on plants used in a fountain. The Phoilodendron have been in the fountain for over a month now and are thriving. I will use this method this Summer in my outdoor fountains w/plants as well and write an update.
To use the Philodendron cuttings in the fountain I wrap the roots in gauze to contain the roots and keep them out of the pump. Philodendron is the only "house plant" I use in my indoor fountains. Roots can be a real mess for the pumps.
The vessel of this fountain is a birdbath and the bottom is round so I had to use two large flat rocks for a flat surface. I drilled holes in them and ran the pump tubing up through the rocks then set the flower pot on the rocks.
Now, back to tucking the cuttings under the rocks.....as I tucked the cuttings under the rocks and into the water, I intertwined a tiny string of underwater lights.
To accent the lights I placed some large clear-green floral rocks
.
The tiny lights shinning through the water rocks softens and magnifies the light.
