TotalPond Aquatic Plant Basket, 10-inch

Great for my plants in my pond

As advertised

These baskets work great for containing my water lilies in my pond.

Sturdy, good water access, does not float

I have like 8 now i love these for working with Orchids and their stuff for them... and often use them to others with my Extra plants...

Good size basket to put a few Lilli pad rhizomes. I added some landscape fabric, some heavy clay and planted my Lilly pads. I did anchor the basket to the side of the pond so it would not slip off the underground shelf. This basket works great for all that.

These fit perfectly into one section of my 30 gallon sump. I use them for a refugium, and they work great. I put moss and pothos clippings in the basket, and they allow the water to flow freely while still allowing for the roots to grow through the holes. Cheap and easy solution. I will be buying more.

I made 2 of these for far less than the $35 ready made pond planters! Cut a pool noodle a bit less than the length of each side x 4. Then cut each piece lengthwise creating a slit - do not cut noodle in half, just cut through one side. Slip the noodle pieces over the top of each side. Cut a sheet of landscaping fabric large enough to fit the bottom, sides and over the pool noodles. Tuck the fabric into the bottom of the basket and over each side, tucking the fabric under the outside edge of each pool noodle to hold it in place. Secure each noodle piece with a cable tie (12" long) about 1.5" from each end - 2 ties per side (8 ties total). Cut off end of tie close to the clamp. Fill with soil & plants. Planter will float with about 1/2" above the surface. Perfect for pond lilies - koi can't eat the lily roots!
