Give plants the right foundation
Many gardeners want to incorporate pond planting into the overall garden plan. Beautiful water lilies, marsh plants and oxygen plants really create a pond feel in the garden. And with the help of pond filtration and plant care from Velda, a beautiful plant pond is within reach. 
After building the pond, it is important that the aquatic plants start growing well. A real pond feel is created when you add beautiful water lilies, marsh plants and oxygen plants to the pond. Ultimately, to get a healthy pond environment with clear water, at least half of the pond surface should be vegetated.
Planting for years of pond enjoyment
Pond plants give off oxygen and remove pollutants from the water. Fast-growing oxygen plants in particular keep the pond clear and free of algae. With marsh and bank plants you can make the pond really attractive. Choose the species with care and create beautiful groups with variation in color, height and leaf shape. A beautiful water lily with many flowers is ultimately the crowning glory of your planted pond. Even without fish, the pond feeling is complete.
Biological balance in the pond
The pond is a closed ecosystem. Biological wastes are converted by bacteria into food for aquatic plants, which in turn release oxygen to the water for a healthy pond. Aquatic plants thus absorb phosphate and CO2, so algae have no chance in the pond. However, if the biological balance is disturbed, algae can grow, to the detriment of the aquatic plants. Pond substrate at the bottom, supplemented with a dose of (liquid) Bacterialquickly brings the biological balance back into the pond.
Maintain water quality
Test water values regularly and bring them up to standard with GH Plus and KH Plus. Pond plants grow well at GH and KH values above 7 °DH. The risk of pond acidification is then minimal. Water testing is super-fast with the electronic water meter from Velda. The AquaTesterPro with accompanying indicators measures the most important water values in seconds.
Filtration for a clear plant pond
In a flow-through filter, under the pressure of a pump, the water passes several chambers with filter materials that retain dirt particles and ensure the biological breakdown of waste products. The UV-C treatment of the water kills floating algae, pathogens and fungi for a crystal clear pond. Choose the convenience of the compact Floating Combi Filter for ponds up to 5,000 gallons of water. The Cross-Flow Biofill can be used up to 10,000 liters and the large Giant Biofill XL can be used for plant ponds up to 60,000 liters of water.
