  • Natural Filtration at its Best: The Complete Plant Filter Pond Package uses a combination of marsh plants and oxygen plants. These plants work harmoniously together to filter contaminants from the water and increase oxygen levels. This natural filtration helps prevent algae formation and keeps pond water crystal clear without the need for chemicals.
  • Sustainable Pond Health: By employing a variety of plants that enhance each other in function, this package creates a robust ecosystem in your pond. The marsh plants absorb pollutants and the oxygen plants pump vital oxygen back into the water, which is essential for maintaining a healthy pond and supporting aquatic life.
  • Easy Installation and Maintenance: This package is designed for easy implementation and maintenance. Plants in baskets and loose plants that can be placed directly into the substrate make it easy to create an effective plant filter. Once the plants are in the filter, the plant filter requires minimal maintenance allowing you more time to enjoy your pond.

Tip from Simon: More plants in your pond is always better.

Too few plants increases the risk of algae and plant death. If necessary, choose additional plants you like in addition to the package.

Finally a clear pond!

I already had a plant filter in my pond, but I kept suffering from murky water and algae. Then I came across the Complete Plant Filter Pond Package and thought, why not? I added the extra marsh and oxygen plants from the package to my pond and really, the difference was quickly noticeable. Within a few weeks, the water was much clearer and the algae was almost gone. Now, a few months later, my pond looks better than ever. This package was exactly what my pond needed!

BONUS TIP: Did you also know that you can easily keep water lilies in a plant filter? A water lily thrives in as little as 10 inches of water and can then produce flowers. There is room for a water lily in almost every plant filter. My recommendation is 1 water lily per 0.5 to 3 m²

Oxygen plants are a must for any pond!
Sufficiently oxygenating underwater plants in the pond means you will NOT need a pump and filter. Oxygenating plants filter the water and block the sun. This causes the water to heat up less which reduces the formation of algae. Oxygen plants also provide shelter for fish from impending danger. All of our oxygen plants are hardy and are supplied from our own aquatic plant nursery with a 100% growth and flowering guarantee. For oxygen plants, I recommend a minimum of 10 to 12 individual plants per m³ (1000 liters of water) and 2 baskets of 4 plants per m². The amount needed depends on how quickly you want the pond to balance and your visual requirements.
