Aquatic planting containers serve to securely anchor aquatic plants, preventing soil from escaping and clouding the water while facilitating organized maintenance in ponds and water gardens. These containers enhance water quality by containing root systems, promoting nutrient absorption to reduce algae growth, and allowing for versatile placement options.
The water lily containers have lattice sides and bottom to allow water and nutrients to enter. Lotus prefers a closed containers and you really don’t need a pond for lotus. Just keep enough water on top of the soil and your lotus will be happy.
Tricker’s aquatic lattice planting crates are designed to be specifically used in the water garden to promote and successfully grow your water plants. The lattice sides allow the roots to penetrate into the surrounding water and not be stifled. Gases will exchange through the lattice and water nutrients enter to feed your aquatic plants.
These crates have carrying handles to easily place them in your pond.
Pea gravel is used to cover the soil after planting. It is the correct size with a smooth surface recommended for potting aquatic plants. It will hold the soil in place and keep fish from disturbing the soil. This pea gravel is river washed and non toxic to plants and fish.
Trico© tablets are crucial for preserving and improving the growth of water lilies, lotuses, and other aquatic plants in your water garden pool.
Praefecta is a superb initial starter aquatic fertilizer for mixing into the topsoil for water lilies, lotus, and other aquatics that was developed by one of Tricker’s chemist to begin aquatic growth. It was introduced years ago in “Popular Science” magazine and has a proven formula for aquatic plants. It is used as an initial fertilizer to promote robust growth by mixing 1/4 pound to 1 cubic foot of topsoil. After about four weeks, the use of Tricker’s Trico fertilizer pellets should be used.
Aquatic Mineral Transport (AMT) is an essential component that should be added to the aquatic topsoil before planting if the soil lacks clay. While clay-enriched soil is commonly recommended for aquatic plants, it is often overlooked. However, Tricker’s AMT contains a specific US natural mineral that closely resembles clay. This granular mineral possesses remarkable properties as it effectively retains and gradually transports vital fertilizer nutrients, such as nitrogen, potassium, magnesium, and trace elements, to the roots of aquatic plants. AMT’s mineral plays a crucial role in preventing fertilizer leaching into the pond. In fact, this mineral was chosen by the space shuttle for use in plant growth applications in the space lab.
