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!

Frequently asked questions about riparian plants
There is a wide range of riparian plants available to suit a variety of tastes and needs. Here are five strong and aesthetically pleasing options:
- Irises: These versatile plants come in colors such as yellow, blue, pink, white and black, and thrive in moist conditions such as banks and marshes.
- great reedmace: Known for its cigar-like inflorescences, this plant is ideal for shallow water and riparian zones.
- water mint: This plant with its green leaves and purple flowers is not only beautiful, but also spreads a pleasant mint scent.
- Swanflower: With white or pink flowers, this plant is not only beautiful but also a useful food source for waterfowl.
- sweet flag: With its long, narrow leaves and small yellow flowers, this plant spreads a pleasant fragrance and is ideal for shallow water areas.
All our riparian and marsh plants are hardy, this means that the aquatic plants are dormant in the fall and bloom again in the spring. This makes our pond plants an investment you will enjoy for years to come.
Our riparian plants from our own nursery require very little care because we only grow hardy aquatic plants making the plants very strong. All you can do from time to time is give some nutrition to the aquatic plant and prune the plant occasionally when you feel it is growing too fast.
Water rich in nutrients and oxygen promotes optimal root growth. For lush growth and flowering of both the roots and the plant itself, it is advisable to use special nutrient soil or growth substrate. To prevent the soil from washing away, you can cover it with gravel.
Riparian plants are a subcategory of Sumpfpflanzen and both thrive in the shallow, moist areas at the edge of a pond. They not only add aesthetic value to your pond, but also contribute to a healthy ecosystem. Other than the name, the plants do not differ from each other.
