Troubleshooting
Plants are not thriving or look unhealthy.
Ensure the basket is placed in the correct pond zone (Zone 2-3, 0-40cm depth) and receives adequate sunlight. Check water quality and remove any decaying material.
Gravel or soil is floating out of the basket.
Ensure the gravel is packed firmly around the soil and plants. If significant soil loss occurs, you may need to replenish with additional pond soil and gravel.
The basket is unstable or tipping over.
Check that the pond bottom is relatively level where the basket is placed. Adjust the position or add a flat stone beneath the basket for better stability if needed.
Pond water appears cloudy after planting.
Some initial cloudiness can be normal as the soil settles. If persistent, ensure the gravel is properly contained within the basket and consider using a pond water clarifier if necessary.
