By breaking down organic waste and increasing oxygen levels in the pond, these plants reduce the nutrients that algae need to thrive, resulting in clearer and healthier pond water.

Not only do they provide more oxygen to the water, they also support the life of beneficial small organisms. This helps keep your pond clean and balanced naturally, without chemicals.

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.

Oxygenating plants and a bottle of Bacta clear
Purchased: Pond clear package - M
My pond was quite murky, so after a good conversation with Simon, I decided to follow the advice: more oxygen plants and a bottle of bacteria. I ordered the recommended package, but after four days no improvement was visible. Full of disappointment, I contacted customer service. They advised me to be patient and give the process 2-3 weeks. Although I had my doubts about it, I decided to wait anyway. And what turned out? After two weeks, the water started to clear and I even saw frogs that I had never noticed before! Thanks team vdvelde, and apologies for my impatience!

Plants are growing much better now and water is crystal clear
Purchased: POND SUBSTRATE pond substrate - 40 liters
Last year I had a landscaper install a plant filter at my swimming pond, recommending lava and some plants from the local garden center. Unfortunately, things went completely wrong; the plants died one by one and I suffered an algae infestation. After contacting customer service, I was advised to replace the lava with pond substrate and order some more plants. Now, several months later, the plants are growing well, and my filter is finally free of algae.

My little city pond
Purchased: Complete Pond Package - S - Red
I had been dreaming of having a pond in my urban garden for some time, but it always seemed like such a hassle. Online I found a complete package and decided to take the gamble, although I was skeptical about the quality of plants sent through the mail. But to my surprise, everything was delivered neatly and well-packaged. Within no time I had my pond set up. To my delight, after only two months I saw the first water lily bloom, and as icing on the cake I discovered salamanders in my pond. No idea how they got there, but it only adds to the joy. Truly enjoying it!

Blue lily: beautiful!
Purchased: Hardy Blue Water Lily - Nymphaea Blue Queen
Thank you very much for the generous delivery of the swamp iris "Blue Lis".
The new plants have been planted and I am curious to see if they will bloom this year.
There is good news about the water lily "Blue Queen": It is also blooming here in blue - and how beautiful!
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
Large water lilies - 3 Colors
- Combi set
- 3 plants
- Placement: -10 to -100 cm

Advice and tips
Controlling thread algae and floating algae
Thread algae and floating algae are two types of algae that can make ponds murky. Controlling thread algae and floating algae in the pond with lime is a common method. A more natural and effective way to make pond water clear by fighting algae is to add Bacta Clear to the water. BactaClear also stimulates the growth of aquatic plants which, together with the bacteria, restores the biological balance in the pond and keeps it healthy. One bottle of Bacta Clear is sufficient for 20,000 liters of water.
Controlling algae in your pond
There are different types of algae, including green, brown and blue algae. It can be challenging to control algae in the pond naturally, but with Bacta Clear's pond bacteria it is possible. There are also other methods to control algae in the pond, namely planting enough oxygen plants and other types of aquatic plants. Furthermore, a layer pond substrate on the bottom should not be missing.
