Why use Aquatic Planting Media

• Will not float or cloud the pond water when plants are moved, fertilized or disturbed by fish.
• Will not clog filters & pumps, change pH or discolor the pond water

Aquatic Planting Media is a ready to use potting soil comprised of a unique blend of natural minerals including Zeolite, which provides a clean, easy to use planting media for water gardens. Aquatic Planting Media securely holds the plants in the pot, and won't cloud the water or clog the water or clog pumps & filters.

Potted plants need to be divided every one to two years to keep the plants vigorous & blooming. Many potting soils contain combinations of sand, composted organic matter, peat moss, vermiculite, & even fertilizer & 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 & stimulate algae growth. Aquatic Planting Media is a clean, easy to use planting media & is specially formulated & recommended for all potted aquatic plants such as water lilies, lotus, & iris as well as bog plants.

Directions for Use

• Aquatic Planting Media should be fully saturated with water for easy of use. Pour Aquatic Planting Media into clean bucket & fully cover the granules with water.

• Prepare the pot for Aquatic Planting Media by covering any holes with a piece of nylon screen or weed barrier to keep the Aquatic Planting Media from leaking out.

• Add about 3 inches of pre-soaked Aquatic Planting Media into the bottom of the pot or basket.

• Place one or two Pond Care Aquatic Plant Food Tablets into the pot, as Aquatic Planting Media is not a fertilizer substitute.

• Arrange the plant roots into the pot and gently cover roots with Aquatic Planting Media & fill the pot to about 1" from the rim. Top off with decorative stones.

• 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.
