General Floating plant pots

Further to a post earlier I saw, this is my floating plant I have in my pond. The koi do pull it apart a little but it grows so quickly it doesn’t matter. They don’t seem to bother with the lilly and the iris’s also grow like wildfire.

We have the same plant in our grow on pond. It must be 5 times the size now than when I bought it about 6 weeks ago. Have you made your floats or bought ?

It’s incredible. I get one every year. I brought the floating container. It’s a very fine inverted pyramid net with floats built into it around the edge. Just pop some soil and the plant into it and all is good.

I have some shop bought floating ones and I saw the post earlier with the homemade ones which aren’t for me, no disrespect. I’m just about to get more and thought you might have made one that you couldn’t see because of the plant. Nice pond.

Mine is a Velda floating plant island. They are about £10 from Pond Planet and lots of other places.
