Plant island without plants

This plant island offers the gentle option of integrating plants into your koi pond without using a lot of soil. The roots of the plants also give you a natural filter effect. The plant island consists of a light carrier material that does not release any pollutants into the koi pond. The planting of the plant island is very simple. Swamp plants that live in the shallow water area with a water depth of 10 cm, remove 1/3 of the soil and place on the plant island. Reduction plants are perfect in this area. Maintenance is just as easy. Cut back the plant island on both sides at least once a year and you're done. The plant island, including pond plants, should remain on the koi pond in winter.

The plant island also offers the koi the opportunity to shelter under strong sunlight.

Sowing watercress is an inexpensive way of greening a plant island. It can be reseed at any time, the seed toss produces its own offspring.

The attachment set that is available separately prevents your plant island from floating around. The set consists of a net-like bag that can be filled with one or more stones and a very thick and soft cord about 3 m long.
