If left for a few years with little maintenance the plants in your pond can become overgrown. If you have planned well in advance any plants that have been submerged in your garden ponds will have been installed in planting baskets. These are the perfect way to put plants into your pond and the easiest way to remove them if necessary.

Mesh pond plant baskets allow the roots of your pond plants to spread out but still keep the pond plant well contained so it can be easily removed from the pond if necessary. They also keep the soil around the plant roots and not clouding the water, adding pea gravel to the top of your baskets will also stop soil floating away for your plant.

Having your pond plants in individual containers also means that you can split the plants easily and also target specific plants with fertilisers or other treatments if necessary.

You can get many different sizes of pond planters in shapes including square, round and kidney shaped. So you will be able to find the right size planter for the size and position of pond plant you want.
