A pond vase is just like a bunch of flowers, but different. A pond vase is a decorative glass vase or pot containing a floating plant, such as Salvinia, Pistia or Phyllanthus, or a terracotta pot containing an aquarium plant. It’s an easy way to add a mini-pond to your table, workstation or windowsill! The bottom is filled with a layer of pond substrate to preserve optimum water quality for as long as possible.

You can buy ready-made pond vases from a garden centre or pond specialist or create one yourself. It doesn’t involve a great deal of work. You just need to water it sometimes or replace the plant with a new one after a while.
