Planting & Care instructions: To plant your pond, begin by placing a 1-litre miniature water lily at the base. Use a layer of gravel or stones to create a flat, stable surface for resting the pond plants. Then arrange your three marginal plants around it. Fill the pond with fresh water until the crowns of the marginal plants are submerged by around 3 cm. Maintain water levels throughout the season by topping up as needed. Place the pond in a sunny or partially shaded location for best results. While the plants are hardy, protect the container from prolonged freezing conditions to avoid damage.

Long-Term Care: Keeping your container pond healthy over time is easy with the right accessories. Add Ramshorn Snails (Planorbis) or Trapdoor Snails (Viviparus viviparus) to help keep algae under control and clean up waste naturally. Use hessian liners and a layer of gravel to stop soil from seeping into the water. Floating plants and oxygenators help shade the pond and maintain oxygen levels, both of which reduce algae growth. For established ponds, a boost of pond fertiliser in the second growing season supports strong, healthy plant growth.

Why Use a Fountain? Even in small water features, water movement is essential for a healthy environment. Still water invites stagnation and algae. Whether it's a pump creating gentle circulation or a fountain adding an aerating spray, moving water significantly boosts oxygen levels, discourages algae, and improves overall water quality. This creates a more balanced ecosystem and enhances the visual and auditory appeal of your feature. While plants help, they often can't fully prevent algae in warm, still conditions, making a pump or fountain a crucial addition.
