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 pond clay

Yes, the use of pond clay is essential when setting up pond baskets. It ensures that the plants stay in place and do not float through the pond.

Without clay, the plugs will not be firmly attached, which hinders root development and therefore can slow down plant growth. In short, pond clay helps firmly anchor your plants and promotes their healthy growth.
pond clay use for decorating pond baskets. The clay is meant to hold aquatic plants in place in the basket so they can grow without obstacles.
Our pond clay is 100% natural and therefore safe for fish. If fish start rooting around in the clay, the clay can indeed float through the water, making the water more cloudy. But this will sink to the bottom within a few days and then you won't see anything of it, and neither will your fish.
A murky pond after planting can occur because pond clay comes loose. This often happens when fish start rooting around in the baskets, releasing the clay and giving the water a cloudy color. Not to worry, our pond clay is 100% natural and absolutely harmless to both plants and fish. After a few days, the clay will naturally sink back to the bottom, and the water will be completely clear again.
