Purpose and Benefits:
|
| Aquatic Planting Media securely holds the plants in the pot and won't
cloud the water or clog pumps or filters. Potted plants need to be
divided and repotted every one to two years to keep the plants vigorous
and blooming. Many potting soils contain combinations of sand,
composted organic matter, peat moss, vermiculite, and even fertilizer
and wetting agents. Using these types of soils in a pond leads to
disastrous results. The loose fluffy soil floats in the water.
The added fertilizers leach into the water and stimulate algae growth.
Aquatic Planting Media is a clean, dry, easy to use planting media and
is specially formulated and recommended for all potted aquatic plants
such as water lilies, lotus, and iris and well as bog plants. |
Directions for Use:
|
| Aquatic Planting Media should be fully saturated with water for ease
of use. Pour media into a clean bucket and fully cover with water.
Prepare the pot by covering any holes with a piece of nylon screen or
weed barrier material to keep media from leaking out. Add about 3
inches of pre-soaked media to bottom of pot. Place two Pond Care
Plant Food Tablets into the pot. Arrange the plants roots into the
pot and gently cover with roots with Aquatic Planting Media and fill the
pot to about 1" from the rim. Top off with decorative stone.
Slowly lower the pot into the pond. There will be some trapped air
in the soil. It will bubble out as the plant is lowered into the
water. |
