It provides root anchorage and nutrient exchange without the organic content of garden soil or potting compost, which clouds water and fuels algae growth when submerged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSubmerged Growing Medium That Does Not Cloud the Water\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandard soil and potting mix cloud pond water with fine particles and decompose rapidly underwater, releasing nitrogen and phosphorus that directly fuel algae blooms. Aquatic plant potting media is formulated to stay intact in submerged conditions, allow roots to penetrate, and provide the mineral exchange needed for aquatic plants without organic loading of the water column. Koi-safe at all life stages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVolume\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e864 cu in (0.014 cbm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMineral aquatic potting medium, loam-free\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSafe For\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKoi, goldfish, aquatic plants, wildlife\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUse With\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAquascape Aquatic Plant Pots (AQ-47003 through AQ-47005)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFill aquatic plant containers two-thirds full with potting media before planting. Plant rhizomes or root balls at the correct depth for the species, cover to the crown, and top-dress with pea gravel to prevent fish from disturbing the root zone. Rinse containers before placing in the pond to clear loose dust. Lower containers to the correct depth for each plant species. Replace media when repotting, typically every 2 to 3 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal for all aquatic plant containers in koi and goldfish ponds where standard growing media would cloud the water and fuel algae growth through nutrient leaching.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aquascape","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52698365264191,"sku":"AQ-89016","price":43.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8260\/9215\/files\/aquascape-plant-supplies-default-title-aquascape-pond-plant-potting-media-864-cu-in-014-cbm-43287387963711.webp?v=1776379329","url":"https:\/\/pondsonline.ca\/products\/aquascape-pond-plant-potting-media-864-cu-in-014-cbm","provider":"Ponds Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
