The majority of pond plants do not want to be fully submerged in the water. These Floating Rings are ideal for keeping your pond plants at the right level all the time, regardless of pond depth. Suits 22cm round baskets. Outside diameter of the floating ring is 295mm inside diameter is 197mm.
Our Recommendation for Planting Pond Plants:
Line the bottom of a plastic plant pot with newspaper to stop soil from flowing through the holes then hold the plant to be potted in position while you pour the potting mix in around it. Fill the pot to approximately 3-4 cm from the top and push down firmly. Push one fertiliser tablet per medium pot (two for large pots) into the soil near the plant roots. Spread a layer of white sand or river sand on the top, about one cm thick. This will stop the soil from discolouring the water. Spread a layer of gravel stones on top of the pot to stop your fish from digging up the soil.
