Laguna Floating Plant Basket – Small – 10 in

Laguna Floating Plant Basket – small is designed to make planting and maintaining aquatic plants in ponds easier, especially for ponds that lack proper plant shelves. Here’s a breakdown of the key features:

Size: The small size of 25 cm (10 in) indicates that these plant baskets can accommodate sizable aquatic plants, allowing you to create a visually appealing and ecologically balanced pond environment.

Finely-Woven Fabric: The use of finely woven fabric in the construction of these plant baskets serves multiple purposes. Firstly, it provides excellent soil containment, preventing soil from washing away and maintaining a stable environment for plant roots to grow. Secondly, the fine weave helps to prevent fish from accessing the plants’ roots, protecting them from being disturbed or uprooted.

Fish Protection: By preventing fish from reaching the plant roots, the baskets offer a protective barrier that can contribute to the overall health of both the plants and the fish. Fish won’t be able to nibble on or damage the plants, which can lead to healthier plant growth.

Buoyant Styrofoam Float: The inclusion of a buoyant styrofoam float ensures that the plant baskets stay on the water’s surface. This feature is essential for aquatic plants that require exposure to sunlight for photosynthesis. Keeping the baskets afloat allows the plants to receive adequate light for their growth.

Shade and Protection: Apart from serving as a planting solution, these floating baskets can also provide shade for fish and other aquatic organisms. Shade can be essential in maintaining a balanced ecosystem by regulating water temperature and reducing excessive algae growth.
