A Water bowl can be any bowl or container that can hold water and be placed on your deck or garden. In many cases no pump is needed but a small amount of water movement is recommended. Then add water plants. Water plants are some of the greatest flowering plants. A water bowl allows you to have these plants in a simple low maintenance container. Usually you will get a marginal plant with a couple floaters around it. The more surface area covered the better as plants will blog sunlight and take care of nutrients algae always look for. It is always my recommendation to put a small goldfish in the bowl, feeding it is not needed if the bowl is over 5 gallons as long as you do have plants covering the bowl surface. Many times i also recommend that you put lava rock or rock in general in the bowl. This allows beneficial bacteria to grow and will again cut down on maintenance. Besides that do partial water changes as needed and watch you plants grow.
