Simon van der Velde

Our assortment consists of the strongest hardy species of marsh plants and always offer 100% growth and flowering guarantee. Tip: The water always warms up fastest in shallow areas such as the marsh. As a result, algae growth occurs fastest in this zone. Placing extra lots of plants and a combination of high aquatic plants and low-growing oxygen plants in your marsh will prevent algae growth. For marsh plants I recommend a minimum of 2 baskets with 4 plants (total of 8 plants) per 1 m².. The amount needed depends on how quickly you want your pond balanced and your visual requirements.

Frequently asked questions about Sumpfpflanzen

Pond Advice

Marsh plants are aquatic plants responsible for purifying and filtering water in ponds. Thanks to their robust roots, they grow quickly and anchor themselves firmly in the pond bottom, from which they draw their nutrients. The marsh plants absorb waste products from the water, which will reduce nitrate and nitrite concentrations.

All of our pond plants are hardy, meaning that the aquatic plants are dormant in the fall and will bloom again in the spring. This makes our pond plants an investment you will enjoy for years to come.

Plants that thrive in marshy environments are generally adapted to wet soil conditions. They have the ability to grow in moist soils and can range from aquatic plants with floating leaves to marsh grasses and shrubs. These plants are adapted to high humidity and can survive well in these environments.

A water source with abundant nutrients and oxygen is beneficial for encouraging healthy root growth. For optimal development of both the roots and the plant itself, it is wise to utilize special nutrient soil or growth substrate. To prevent erosion of the soil, it can easily be protected with a layer of gravel.

Sumpfpflanzen, including riparian plants, flourish in the shallow, moist areas at the edge of a pond. They not only contribute to the aesthetics of your pond, but also play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy ecosystem. Despite their different names, these plants are essentially the same and provide valuable benefits to your pond environment.

That's not a problem! However, it is important to keep the marsh plants in a cool place, such as in the refrigerator. This will keep them dormant until you place them in the pond. Once they are in the pond, they will slowly begin to sprout and grow.

For marsh plants we recommend at least 2 baskets with 4 plants per square meter (8 marsh plants total). In addition, there should also be aquatic plants, oxygen plants and water lilies in the pond, a layer of porous pond substrate on the bottom and 2x per year pond bacteria added to the water.

Marsh plants, also called riparian plants, filter water and increase biodiversity in your garden. Prune them once a year in the fall, after shedding seed pods. Cut the plants back to about 20 cm above the ground. For extra growth, you can also prune during the growing season so that the plant draws more nutrients from the water.

Loose bog plants and plugs are best planted in pond substrate. This substrate provides a solid base for the roots, retains nutrients and provides a natural environment for the plants to develop well.

Place the plants in a layer pond substrate on the bottom or in plant baskets, so that the roots can attach well and the plants get enough nutrients. This not only helps to firmly establish the plants, but also ensures that the water quality remains naturally balanced.

Sumpfpflanzen pond

Marsh plants, also known as riparian plants, are aquatic plants that thrive in swampy environments, meaning they like to have moist roots. They play an essential role in purifying and filtering pond water. By placing these grass and reed-like plants in your pond, you create a fully equipped pond environment. The powerful roots of marsh plants allow for rapid growth and anchor them firmly in the pond bottom, where they get their nutrients. In addition, marsh plants are hardy, meaning they can survive cold weather conditions without protection from frost.

Sumpfpflanzen hardy

All of our aquatic plants are hardy, this means that the plants can remain in the pond year in, year out without decaying due to the cold. When selecting aquatic plants for your pond, it is therefore wise to choose pond plants that are hardy. In fact, hardy aquatic plants come back every year, giving you years of enjoyment from our plants.

How to plant Sumpfpflanzen?

Swamp plants, in addition to their purifying effect, are also placed because they are so suitable as a finish to the pond edge. Right next to the pond edge, the wet bank, or marsh area, begins where these pond plants are placed. In this section, the plants can function best. In order for marsh plants to root well and stay wet, the soil should consist of wet soil or pond substrate . Just be careful not to place them too deep in the pond, or the marsh plants will drown and not survive. For example marsh plant water mint, which grows about 60 cm high and can be planted in a depth of up to -20 cm. At this depth we recommend placing aquatic plants in pond baskets, in order to use this to keep plant growth in check. After filling a pond basket with your favorite marsh plant, simply place it at the appropriate depth in the marsh area.

Maintaining Sumpfpflanzen

The overgrowth of marsh plants requires maintenance so that they continue to do their job well and do not become feral. In the fall, the biggest pruning takes place and you remove excess growth from the pond. During pruning, you cut away dead parts of the plant. Remaining roots and leaves grow back in the spring as nutrients remain stored in the roots. Because of the hardy property of marsh plants, covering the pond is not necessary during the winter period. Want to prevent falling leaves from entering the pond during the fall? Then place a net over the pond that catches the leaves.

Carnivorous Sumpfpflanzen

Carnivorous Sumpfpflanzen are not only a visual asset to your pond thanks to their striking colors and unique shapes, but they are also functional. They thrive extremely well in nutrient-poor soil, which means they are low maintenance. The more sparse the soil, the better they do! It is advisable, however, to set them apart from other, nutrient-hungry pond plants. If you have problems with insects around the pond, carnivorous plants offer a natural solution: they capture and digest these tiny critters.
