What Is Aquasoil and Why Is It Important?

Aquasoil is a specialised substrate designed to provide aquatic plants with the nutrients they need to grow and thrive. Unlike regular garden soil, aquasoil is formulated to minimise water clouding and prevent unwanted nutrient leaching that can cause algae blooms. It offers long-term support for aquatic plants, ensuring they establish strong root systems and contribute to a healthier pond ecosystem.

Benefits of Using Aquasoil in Ponds

  • Promotes healthy plant growth: Provides essential nutrients for aquatic plants.
  • Improves water quality: Aquasoil helps stabilise water conditions by supporting beneficial bacteria.
  • Anchors aquatic plants: Keeps plants securely rooted to prevent floating or uprooting.
  • Reduces algae risk: By supporting healthy plant growth, aquasoil reduces excess nutrients that algae feed on.

Types of Aquasoil Available

We stock a variety of aquasoil products to meet different pond needs:

  • Clay-Based Aquasoil: Ideal for deep-rooted pond plants like water lilies.
  • Lightweight Planting Substrates: Perfect for marginal plants and oxygenating plants.
  • Peat-Free Aquasoil: Eco-friendly options that are better for the environment.

How to Use Aquasoil in Your Pond

Using aquasoil is simple. Place it in planting baskets or pond pots and gently lower them into your pond. Ensure the roots are well-covered with soil and topped with gravel to prevent floating. For best results, choose the right aquasoil for your plant type and replant as needed to maintain healthy growth.
