With a Complete Pond Kit, you'll be all set in one go

A pond stays clear when you let nature take its course. With the right plants, a natural balance is created, and you can enjoy clear water all year round.

About this product

With the Complete Pond Package Multi, you give your pond everything it needs to maintain its balance in a completely natural way. Oxygenating plants release oxygen into the water during the day, ensuring clear water free of algae. Marsh plants absorb nutrients such as nitrate and nitrite—waste products that would otherwise feed algae. Floating plants provide shade and inhibit algae growth by blocking sunlight. Water lilies the water cooler and provide hiding spots for fish. STEP ONE Pond substrate plants a firm hold so they can root well and absorb nutrients. The porous structure provides space for beneficial bacteria that break down waste and purify the water. BACTA CLEAR clear pond water and supports year-round biological balance. It improves the growth and flowering of Aquatic plants adding beneficial bacteria. INSTA CLEAN quickly breaks down sludge and organic waste, allowing the substrate to maintain its filtering effect. This prevents the need for dredging later on. You create a natural system in which the water keeps itself clean and clear, without relying on technology or chemicals. As a bonus, three anti-mosquito Plant islands , which not only look beautiful but also keep the pond water cool and prevent mosquito infestations. The fragrant plants attract natural predators of mosquitoes, such as dragonflies and ladybugs, which eat the larvae, while simultaneously helping to keep your pond in balance.

What makes this product special

All the plants in this package are hardy and have been selected for their specific role in the pond. Each plant group does something different: producing oxygen, absorbing waste, providing shade, or naturally filtering the water. The package includes sturdy pond crates with coconut fiber liners and 1 bag of substrate per crate so you can plant the plants right away. The crates make it easy to plant your pond properly, even if you don’t have clearly defined planting zones. Each crate is 16 cm high and stackable: place additional crates under a plant crate to create a raised bed, allowing you to plant at any desired depth. This saves you the hassle of using stones or searching for the right spot.
The 22 bags of substrate in this package are intended for the 22 crates, so the plants can root well and absorb nutrients. The remaining 38 bags of substrate are intended for the pond bottom. For every square meter of pond bottom, you need 80 liters of substrate to create a 10-centimeter layer. Do you have a larger pond bottom? Then order extra substrate. Lava, gravel, sand, or pebbles are not suitable; they block the roots and disrupt natural filtration. With our STEP ONE Pond substrate , youPond substrate the right soil for healthy and strong plants.

Quality and origin

All plants come directly from our own aquatic plant nursery, where we have been growing them organically without chemical pesticides since 1986. As a result, you’ll receive strong, healthy plants that thrive as soon as they’re placed in your pond. We use sustainable packaging made from recycled materials and ship everything fresh from our own nursery. This way, you’re not only helping your pond, but also helping to keep the nature around you in balance.
