Vallis is a very popular pond/aquarium plant as it is easy to grow, fast to grow and can thrive in a number of light conditions. The fully submerged plant has long green foliage with coiled flower stalks with tiny white flowers. Vallis is an excellent oxygenator. Vallis grows quite fast and thick which provides shelter for fish eggs, fry, tadpoles and snails, making it ideal for fish spawning.

Pond Plants are always a great addition to any pond. They compete with the algae for nutrients which helps to keep the pond clean. Having multiple plants can be an effective way of filtering the water but you generally need to have half the water surface covered to have a noticeable change. This also depends on certain factors such as type of fish and location of the pond. As well as filtering the water, pond plants help to oxygenate the water during the day.  

Our Pond Plants can come in two main pot sizes, 140mm ($12.95) or 200mm ($20.00) pot. The 140mm pots are generally always in stock but the larger 200mm pots are not always available. Seasonal plants are not generally available during dormancy. Please check for availability.
