Aquatic Planting Soil
The Pond Guy Aquatic Planting Soil is the ultimate pond plant soil for achieving prolific growth and beautiful blooms year after year. This premium aquatic soil contains the vital nutrients pond plants need to thrive. The loamy composition traps oxygen while providing space for beneficial bacteria. Soil will not float or cloud pond water.
Aquatic Planting Media
The Pond Guy Aquatic Planting Media is designed to support the vibrance of your pond plants with no mess. The heavy-duty media granules provide a large surface area for colonizing beneficial bacteria, retaining oxygen, and balancing water alkalinity and acidity. Dense pebbles don’t float, break down, or cloud water.
Planting Tub & Fertilizer
Heavy-duty tub ensures water lily and lotus roots cannot break through and pierce your pond liner. Each large-capacity container is designed for optimal growth, providing ample space for roots to thrive. The medium planting kit is perfect for one water lily. The large planting kit is ideal for two water lilies or one water lotus. The kit includes fertilizer tablets to nourish abundant growth and prolific blooms.
Water Lily & Lotus Planting Instructions
Step 1: Fill a softshell pot with Aquatic Planting Soil, about 75% full.
Step 2: Plant the tuber horizontally with the bottom root end close to the tub wall and the growing tip pointed upwards and towards the center. The tuber should be placed down into the soil just enough to be anchored.
Step 3: Top with a layer of Aquatic Planting Media to trap soil and protect the plant, ensuring the growing tip is exposed just above the media.
Step 4: Water thoroughly then place the pot into the pond. The water's surface level should be 3-6" above the growing tip of the stem. Once new growth has reached the surface of the water move the pots to the deeper areas of your pond. Lotuses prefer full sun exposure.
Step 5: Add fertilizer tabs every two to four weeks.
For Best Results: Keep adding fertilizer tablets every two to four weeks during the growing season.
FAQs
What is the capacity for each tub size?
The small tub has a 4-gallon capacity, and the large tub has a 6-gallon capacity. The medium planting kit is perfect for one water lily, and the large planting kit is perfect for two water lilies or one water lotus.
What types of plants should I add to the planting tubs?
The kits are designed for water lilies and lotus, but they are versatile. You can also plant bog plants such as the blue iris, dwarf cattail, marsh marigold, and lizard’s tail. Use planting kits for all your water garden and aquascape needs.
How deep do I plant water lilies in a pond? Initially, place water lily or lotus containers in a shallower area with 3-6” of water above the growing tip. After a few weeks, once the growing tip emerges from the water’s surface, sink your plants deeper in the pond up to two feet deep.
When can I plant water lilies in my pond? Plant water lilies and lotus in springtime after the threat of frost has passed in your area. Most varieties start growing when the water temperature stays above 65°F consistently.
Can I keep the plants in the tub during the winter?
Yes, plants can be winterized in the tub. We recommend trimming back the foliage and sinking the plant tub deep in your pond, below the frost line, so the plant does not freeze or ice over.
Can lotus plants damage a pond liner? Lotus and water lily plants have robust root systems that spread rapidly in ideal growing environments. These roots can potentially puncture your pond liner as they grow, leading to leaks and tears requiring repairs. Fortunately, it is easy to control their spread and protect your pond liner using the aquatic planting containers found in this kit!
Can I use normal soil for pond plants?
Regular potting or gardening soil is not recommended for use in ponds, lakes, or water gardens. These traditional bagged blends contain ingredients that can be detrimental to water quality and clarity, such as algae-promoting compost and silt that floats and clouds water.
Why do I need planting media on top of the soil?
The planting media provides a barrier between the water and the soil which ensures the koi or fish in the pond do not snack on the roots. The media also has seeded beneficial bacteria which help keep the ecosystem balanced.
What’s the job of a lily plant in a pond? Water lily and lotus plants serve many beneficial purposes in ponds, lakes, and water gardens. They help maintain water clarity by absorbing nutrients and providing shade, both of which inhibit algae growth. Additionally, the extensive lily pads shelter fish from predators and excessive UV exposure.
