> Follow these simple steps to create your own beautiful and relaxing mini pond:

1. Choose a pot - Select a pot that is at least 30cm deep and has a wide opening. It is important to ensure that the pot is watertight and does not have any drainage holes.

the natural aesthetic, and you'll have a stunning view.
