Transform your water garden with PondH2o’s Floating Plant Baskets. This set of two round planters allows you to introduce more aquatic plants and flowers to your pond, even if it’s too deep to plant at the bottom. The floating design creates captivating plant islands, adding a unique visual element to your outdoor space.
These baskets are crafted from a woven, porous fabric that ensures plant roots receive a constant supply of water. The durable cloth material contains soil and substrates within the basket, preventing them from dispersing into the pond.
