Making a floating s. purpurea basket for my pond.
Got a floating basket from the local garden center, filled it with 70:20:10 peat, pumice, perlite. The bottom of the basket has a layer of pumice. That combination worked best for me in the past. Tucked some sphagnum moss into the corners of the basket, hopefully it will grow and cover all the soil. There's also a previously presumed dead s. psittacina in the same pot. I don't expect it to survive but for experimenting sake I put it in there as well.
Pond may look rough but the water parameters are decent, just waiting for warm weather to do proper maintenance.

I know they like water, but is that too much?
Very nice!
