Planting & Care instructions: To plant up your fibreclay bowl, start by placing a 1-litre deep water plant or miniature water lily at the base of the bowl. Then, use the included wire mesh to support up to three 1-litre marginal plants above it. Fill the planter with water until all the marginal plants are submerged to a depth of 3cm, and maintain this level throughout the season by topping up as needed. Position the bowl in a sunny or partially shaded spot for best growth. While the plants themselves are fully hardy, protect the container from hard frost to prevent the water from freezing solid. If the water becomes stagnant or overly muddy, simply replace it with fresh water.

Long-Term Care: Keeping your container pond healthy over time is easy with the right accessories. Add Ramshorn Snails (Planorbis) or Trapdoor Snails (Viviparus viviparus) to help keep algae under control and clean up waste naturally. Use hessian liners and a layer of gravel to stop soil from seeping into the water. Floating plants and oxygenators help shade the pond and maintain oxygen levels, both of which reduce algae growth. For established ponds, a boost of pond fertiliser in the second growing season supports strong, healthy plant growth.

Why Use a Fountain? Even in small water features, water movement is essential for a healthy environment. Still water invites stagnation and algae. Whether it's a pump creating gentle circulation or a fountain adding an aerating spray, moving water significantly boosts oxygen levels, discourages algae, and improves overall water quality. This creates a more balanced ecosystem and enhances the visual and auditory appeal of your feature. While plants help, they often can't fully prevent algae in warm, still conditions, making a pump or fountain a crucial addition.

Please Note: The fountain pumps are sent separately.
