FAQs

How much soil do I need?

The amount depends on the size of your planting area and the plants' requirements. Ensure a minimum layer of 15cm of soil.

Can I use this soil for all types of aquatic plants?

Velda Aquatic Plant Soil is best suited for Water Lilies and most Marsh Plants. Check plant-specific needs for compatibility.

How often should I replace the soil?

The soil provides long-term benefits, but it's advisable to check the plants' health and water quality periodically. Replenish or replace when necessary.

Is it safe for fish?

Yes, Velda Aquatic Plant Soil is designed to be safe for fish and other pond life when used as directed.

What if the soil floats?

Ensure the soil is settled at the bottom before adding plants. Avoid disturbing the soil when filling the pond with water. The weight of the plants will help the soil settle.

Troubleshooting

Plant growth is slow or stunted.

Ensure the soil layer is at least 15cm deep. Check for sufficient sunlight and consider supplementing with a plant-specific fertilizer.

Water quality is poor or cloudy.

Check the soil for disturbance. Ensure proper oxygen circulation, and remove any excess organic matter or debris.
